The Scorch Shot is a community-created secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a flare gun with a gray barrel, an orange painted muzzle, and a black grip held in place with pins on the underside of the barrel, notably seen in Meet the Pyro.
This flare gun shoots a flare that bounces off enemies as well as allies and explodes, igniting all enemies caught in the explosion and knocking back the player hit with the flare. Flares that don't directly hit an enemy explode instantly on contact with an object or touching a player a second time. Both the impact from the flare and the explosion can damage and ignite enemies, potentially hitting the same enemy twice. Only a direct hit with the weapon will cause knock back, though it will do 35% less damage compared to direct hits with other flare guns. Should a flare strike an enemy already on fire with direct hit or explosion, mini-crit damage will be inflicted and the target's afterburn duration will be reset.
The knock back itself behaves similarly to a Compression Blast except that the pitch the flare hits the target has no bearing on how he is knocked away. That is, a shot fired from above and a shot fired from below will knock the target away in the same way. The resulting knock back strength depends on the distance from the player to the target, gaining up to 3x more strength at very long ranges. [1] Should a flare strike an enemy already on fire will increase the knockback. The knock back from the explosion can also be used to flare jump in a manner similar to rocket or sticky jumping, though it doesn't gain as much height as with the Detonator.
Taunting with the Scorch Shot equipped will perform the Execution kill taunt. If the flare hits at close range, the flare does 400 damage on impact; otherwise it acts like a normal shot from the gun. The projectile is fired as a normal shot, and will travel depending on where your reticule was at the time of taunting. Unlike other taunt attacks, this taunt always consumed 1 ammo from ammo pool.
Flares fired from this weapon can destroy stickybombs, in the same fashion as the Detonator, Scottish Resistance, and any hitscan weapon.
The Scorch Shot was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

July 2, 2015 Patch #1 (Gun Mettle Update)
- Updated description to better detail the weapon's features.
- Changed attributes:
- Reduced damage penalty from -50% to -35%
- Now has increased knock back on burning targets.
- Increased the blast radius from flares from 92Hu to 110Hu.
- Hits and explosions always Mini-Crit burning targets.
- Changed attribute:
- Added a -35% self damage force penalty (Reduced blast jumping).
- Fixed the Scorch Shot not applying its small knockback on non-burning enemies.
- Fixed the Scorch Shot knockback from affecting Quick-Fix Über.
Bugs
- The flare can go through thin walls such as setup gates when fired at a correct angle.
- If the player taunts and is moved, the projectile will still fire from the original place.
- If the player fires the last flare and taunts, the player is still able to do the kill taunt.
- If the player taunts while Crit-boosted, the projectile will instead do normal Flare Gun damage rather than instantly killing the target.
- Due to a model error, part of the barrel doesn't move when loading in new flares, which allows players to see through part of the barrel. Additionally, one side of the hammer does not move with the rest of it, which allows players to see through part of the hammer.
Trivia
- Before being added to the game, this weapon's creation was discussed and demonstrated in a blog post.
