Revision as of 13:26, 23 October 2017

The Thermal Thruster is a secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a team-colored metallic jetpack with two rocket thrusters on each side and an enclosed yellow light on the top.

The Thermal Thruster fires a quick blast that launches the Pyro in the direction they are aiming, and deals 3x falling damage to any enemies that the Pyro lands on. It has a 1.1 second holster duration. When the Pyro lands on the ground, it knocks all nearby enemies back. Depending on how high the Pyro jumps from when the Thermal Thruster is activated determines how powerful the knockback on enemies is. The initial take-off can extinguish teammates.

Taunting with the Thermal Thruster equipped will perform the Gas Blast kill taunt.

This weapon was revealed on October 18th, 2017, as part of Day 3 of the Jungle Inferno Update alongside the Dragon's Fury, the Gas Passer, the Hot Hand, and the Second Banana.

The only way to currently obtain the Item is to complete Pyroland contracts 1-3.
