Degreaser
From Team Fortress Wiki
| “ | A vintage gas station pump combined with a car muffler and an antique fire extinguisher provide the Pyro with all of his burning needs. A portable stove top burner provides 4 ignition sources.
— Degreaser publicity blurb

” |
The Degreaser is a community-made primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a flamethrower that comprises a gas pump, car muffler, exhaust pipe, a team-colored fire extinguisher and stove top burner.
The Degreaser reduces the delay caused by weapon switching by 65% for all weapons, facilitating strategic use of weapon combos, such as the Axtinguisher, Flare Gun and Reserve Shooter. However, damage caused by this weapon is reduced by 10%, and afterburn damage is reduced by 25%. Like the Flamethrower and the Backburner, the Degreaser has the compression blast ability, using 20 ammo per blast.
The kill icon for the Degreaser was contributed by Psyke.

Trivia
- Degreasers are emulsifying agents used to remove heavy oils and grease. When mishandled with heat, degreasers - especially engine degreasers - are known to cause severe burns and/or injuries due to their highly flammable and explosive nature, much like the Pyro's weapon.
