Y'all might be flame retardant, but ya sure ain't bulletproof.
The Engineer on fire proof spies

The Fire retardant suit was a scrapped unlockable primary item for the Spy, available for use in the closed beta. The Fire retardant suit was represented in the player's backpack by an image of the Spy's suit bundled and wrapped with with a similarly-colored team-colored band that featured the class icon of the Pyro.

The Fire retardant suit protected the Spy, by reducing incoming fire damage exactly 90%. An alternate 'Beta 2' version of the Fire retardant suit grants the wearer complete immunity to the afterburn effect. With the Fire retardant suit equipped, the Spy gains increased protection against the Pyro's flames, but loses the ranged attack capabilities of his primary Revolver unlockable weapons.

Since the Fire retardant suit is still in an unreleased stage, these attributes may be changed, or the weapon may be scrapped entirely.

Damage

  • Fire retardant suit Beta 1

None. Grants the user immunity to 90% of incoming fire damage.

  • Fire retardant suit Beta 2

None. Grants the user immunity to afterburn effects.

Function times

  • Attack Interval: Unknown, assumed none.
  • Activation of the suit came into play when player was disguised. When hit by Pyro flames, the suit was to block 90% of the damage dealt by the Pyro. The effect wore off when and if the player either died or undisguised.

All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.
