The Shock and Awe is a melee weapon for Annihilator, it is a makeshift hammer made up of a bomb shell attached to a handle.
It deals mini-crit damage while blast jumping and creates a explosion on the first hit that deals 75-90 damage, 60 from the explosion, and 30 from the weapon's base damage. Self damage from the explosion can vary from 45-60 damage, depending on how close you are to the target. The user will take self-damage upon hitting an enemy or surface and will have a passive 50% knockback vulnerability.
After causing an explosion by hitting an enemy or surface, it will recharge in 10 seconds. This weapon also has a hidden stat that makes it deploy 50% slower and deal no self damage if used to blast jump.

Tips
- This weapon excels as a last resort melee attack.
- If paired with the Ragin' Bull, you can get deal 270 damage with a crit, allowing you to kill any non-overhealed class except Brute.
- Try to avoid situations that would require you attack with it more than once, as even two hits result in less damage dealt than the Broken Sword.
- It is possible to blast jump with the Shock and Awe if you hit the ground beneath you while crouching.
- Due to the design of the Shock and Awe, and its lower self-damage, hitting the ground and blast jumping off the explosion is often much more effective than using a grenade launcher for the same task.
- When paired with the Sticky Jumper, you can easily make use of the "mini-crits while blast jumping" bonus.
- Alternatively, you could use a grenade launcher to launch yourself and then use a shield to charge at your enemies to get mini-crits.
- You can kill Arsonists and other Annihilators more easily by first weakening them with a pipe and following up with the Shock and Awe, preferably with a shield to easily close the distance.
