Armageddon is a kill taunt for the Pyro that can be performed with the Rainblower as the active weapon.

Upon taunting in Pyroland, the Pyro blows a stream of bubbles as a rainbow forms over them, complete with a sparkling, swaying Balloonicorn in the center. The Pyro then leans over as foreboding music plays, causing the rainbow to become engulfed in flames while they laugh demonically and unleash a fiery Armageddon, inflicting potentially fatal damage to any enemies slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be in range. When seen outside of Pyroland, the rainbow and Balloonicorn do not appear, dramatic music builds up, and the Pyro simply breathes a steady arc of fire before releasing their inferno. In both cases, the taunt ends with "Mwuh huh huh!" demonically.

The Armageddon's wide range of fire is capable of hitting multiple targets at once. The first target gets hit for 400 fire damage, while each subsequent target gets hit for 50% of the damage dealt to the previous one. It also inflicts afterburn damage and knockback to all surviving players.

As with most kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates.
