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 90 damage, 60 from the explosion and 30 from the weapon's base damage. The user will take self-damage upon hitting an enemy or surface and 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 slower.

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.
- However, this isn't much more effective that blast jumping with a grenade from your grenade launcher, as it will only launch you straight upwards, making it only slightly more effective when comparing self-damage and time.
- 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.
