The Spy on Pyroland

The Pyrovision Goggles are a cosmetic item for all classes. They are a pair of goggles with round lenses and the term "Optical Mask" printed in between them, reminiscent of the Pyro's mask. Bits of the Pyroland landscape can be seen reflected on the lenses.

When equipped, players are able to see in Pyrovision: map textures are replaced with those of Pyroland, gibs and pickups are replaced with their counterparts from birthday mode, other players' voices become high-pitched and laugh when injured or killed, and certain Pyroland-only weapons and miscellaneous items become visible or change model. However, the goggles will not change textures on some official maps, or any custom maps regardless of if they are using the original textures.

The goggles were distributed in Vintage quality to all players who launched the game before July 5, 2012, further characterized with the added positive attribute, "Witnessed the 2012 inferno". Alternatively, a Unique version of the item can be awarded to the player by completing the A Fresh Pair of Eyes achievement obtained by dominating a player who is wearing the goggles, similar to obtaining the Ghastly Gibus hat.

If equipped on the Pyro, the goggles will take the form of special lenses swapped into the existing mask's eyepieces. If equipped on the Demoman, the left lens will be replaced by a metal hatch.
