The Manmelter is a secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a grey, futuristic laser pistol, with a small vial with team-colored liquid inside.

The weapon fires flaming bolts of energy that function similarly to flares from the Flare Gun. Unlike flares, shots will not normally inflict critical hits on flaming players. The weapon also has unlimited ammunition but cannot fire random critical hits. Holding the alt-fire button will extinguish teammates on fire and earn a guaranteed critical hit for each one, which will be stored for later use, similar to the Frontier Justice or Diamondback. Up to 35 crits can be stored at one time and all will be lost upon death.

Enemies killed by the Manmelter suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange cinders that quickly fade away.

Taunting with the Manmelter active allows the Pyro to perform a deadly Hadouken.

This item was named the "Manmelter 3600 ZX" in promotional materials from the Official TF2 Blog and Weta Workshop.

Update history

December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)

  • The Manmelter was added to the game.

December 16, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed Manmelter getting crits from 'Mmmph' bar.

December 16, 2011 [Item schema update]

  • Updated the description of the weapon.

Bugs

  • The Pyro holds the Manmelter like a Flamethrower in the Mann Co. Store's preview.
  • Hits from the weapon that kill the target (not afterburn) use the Flare Gun's kill icon.
  • The Pyro's right hand significantly clips through the weapon in client view.
  • Holding down the MOUSE1 button after firing will cause the weapon not to fully go back to its resting position.
  • When rapidly switching from the Manmelter to another slot using "Q", for a split second in the lower right corner you can see its ammo, 100 loaded 32 carried, despite this it still has infinite ammunition. A similar bug used to appear on the Cow Mangler.
  • The projectiles fired from this weapon can be reflected, contrary to the listed effects.
  • When the projectile is reflected, it is reflected as a flare.

Trivia

  • The appearance of this weapon is based on that of the "Manmelter 3600ZX Sub-Atomic Disintegrator Pistol", which can be purchased from the online store at Weta Workshop.
