The Rail Spikes are a community-created cosmetic item for the Pyro. It adds gold bands covered with steel spikes to the Pyro's neck, gloves and oxygen tank, as well as making the Pyro's default boots slightly larger.
The Rail Spikes were later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

Update history
December 20, 2012 Patch #1 (Mecha Update)
- The Rail Spikes were added to the game.
Bugs
- In DirectX 8, the spike textures are replaced with fire textures.
Trivia
- This item's design is based on the character Dr. Rockso from the television series Metalocalypse.
- The item's description is a reference to a line spoken by Wheatley in Portal 2: "Had a bit of a brain wave. There I was, smashing some steel plates together, and I thought, 'yes, it's deadly. But what's missing? What's missing?' And I thought lots of sharp bits welded onto the flat bits."
