The Dragon's Fury is a primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a black-and-team-colored flamethrower with a large, wide barrel, a cylindrical gas tank, and pneumatic tubing on the side. A visible pressure gauge is built into the side of the weapon; the gauge's meter is affected by firing the weapon or using a compression blast.

Acting as a single-shot, projectile-based Flamethrower, the Dragon's Fury carries 40 "rounds" instead of the 200 fuel carried by the Pyro's other primary weapons. Primary fire (default: MOUSE1) uses 1 round and launches a quick, short-range fireball projectile that travels 3000 Hammer Units per second (roughly 128 mph). The hitbox is large enough that enemies standing near or on top of the Pyro can be hit by shots, and like normal flames, the shot can penetrate players and buildings alike.

Each fireball inflicts around the same damage as a Flare Gun shot, and causes enemies to suffer Afterburn for a short time, even enemy Pyros (albeit for a slightly shorter time than for other classes). Hitting an enemy that is already on fire deals 300% damage, so long as the the middle of the "fireball" connects. Any hit to any enemy or building causes the weapon's next shot to fire 1.5 times faster. Attacking buildings causes 75 damage per hit, making it an effective demolition weapon.

Alt-Fire (default key: MOUSE2) uses 5 rounds and performs a standard compression blast, but causes the next shot (either Primary fire or Alt-Fire) to fire 1.5 times slower.

As the Dragon's Fury's projectile is considered a modified rocket, the fireball can be reflected by enemy Pyros, and vaporized by the Short Circuit.

Currently, the only ways to obtain the Dragon's Fury are either to complete The Pyroland contract "The Dragon's Fury", which grants an untradable and unmarketable Dragon's Fury as a contract reward, or to use a Dragon Slayer War Paint (obtainable from the Mercenary Park Contract "Mercenary World") to generate a tradable and marketable skinned Dragon's Fury.

Bugs

  • The projectile can go through thin walls such as setup gates when fired at a correct angle.
  • Dragon Slayer skins of the weapon will not be sorted by Quality, as it is an Elite Grade and therefore sorted by Decorated.

Trivia

  • The Dragon's Fury was teased several times before Day 3 of the Jungle Inferno Update, where it was officially announced. It can be seen a couple of times on the second day of the Jungle Inferno teaser page: once in a pile of weapons near the middle of the page, and a second time in the Pyro's hands at the cosmetic showcase at the bottom of the page.
  • The Dragon's Fury's projectiles cause a short-lasting light effect on the Pyro's surroundings.
  • In Pyroland, the fireballs appear as a large bunch of lollipops and rainbow swirls.
  • Contrary to the description, the weapon is scripted to decrease its damage to non-burning players, rather than increasing it against burning ones. Its true base damage is 75, which is revealed when shooting buildings.
