Execution is a taunt for the Pyro with the Scorch Shot equipped.

Upon taunting, the Pyro turns sideways and aims the Scorch Shot ahead, firing a single shot. If the flare hits a target at close range, it will deal 400 damage, killing anyone slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be in the way, save for an overhealed Heavy. At medium or long ranges, the flare only deals the standard 15 damage, but still inflicts afterburn damage.

An Execution kill at close range will completely fill the Pyro's "Mmmph" bar if equipped with the Phlogistinator.

Unlike all other Attack taunts, the Execution taunt cannot be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates, as it uses ammunition.

Update history

June 27, 2012 Patch

  • [Undocumented] Added the Execution taunt.

July 2, 2012 Patch

  • Fixed exploit where the Scorch Shot could fire its short range kill pellet at the very beginning of the taunt.

Bugs

  • The flare can go through thin walls such as setup gates when fired at a correct angle.
  • Using the Execution taunt when out of ammo will still fire a flare.
  • The firing sound can only be heard by other players, not the player that uses the taunt.

Trivia

  • The taunt was featured in Meet the Pyro. In the Pyro's mind, he is blowing bubbles on the cherub version of the Scout, but in reality is shooting him point blank in the head with the Scorch Shot.
