For those unfamiliar with TF2: the pyromaniac class has an unlockable melee weapon called the Neon Annihilator, which gives guaranteed critical hits (3x dmg) against enemies who have "wet" status -- an ironic weapon for a character whose majority of weapons deal fire damage.
As a result, this birthed the impractical but hilarious "PyroShark" playstyle, where Pyros neglect their flamethrowers for this item instead, camp areas with any water at all, and not-so-stealthily await to ambush enemy gamers who get the slightest bit wet.
To boot, a headwear cosmetic item was later added to the game simply called "Pyro Shark":
#FixTF2 by the way; the goofy PyroShark shenanigans cannot continue when TF2 servers are overrun with swarms of aimbots :(
