The Shop Vac is a weapon in Postal III.
Description[]
A heavily customized vacuum cleaner used for various tasks ranging from picking up wads of tissue, apple picking, and football throwing. Its alt-fire is used to suck up stuff, and primary fire is used to shoot.
Shop Vac can store up to 50 items, including various trash like bottles (that would also break upon impact) and ammunition for low caliber guns like the Pistol, M16, and Boomstick (however, due to a glitch they won't refill your weapons save for Pepper Spray and Catnip Spray if spat out).
It should be noted that majority of sucked up items won't do any damage to NPCs even if they are launched directly at their face, excluding manually placed throwables like Grenades or Molotovs, transforming vac into an improvised Grenade Launcher or Napalm Launcher respectively.
Trivia[]
- The design of the shop vac is based on an Electrolux vacuum.
- The aiming for the shop vac doesn't work as you have to look at where the hose is instead of where the crosshair is.
