“ | Your friends will squeal with delight when bathed in the warm glow of the all-new gas-fueled Flamethrower. With its commanding style and hyper-efficient performance, you'll be the talk of every barbeque or deathmatch.
— Flame Thrower publicity blurb
|
” |
The Flame Thrower is the default primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a long metal pole, connected by a hose to a propane tank. The tank is attached to the pole via fastening bands. A continually lit pilot light can be seen at the nozzle. The trigger is made out of a team-colored gas pump handle.
Upon pressing primary fire, the weapon expels a stream of roughly 33.3 large flame particles per second in a narrow cone, at a cost of 12.5 ammunition per second. Flame particles are not obstructed by enemies or buildings owned by the opposing team, making it ideal for attacking multiple enemies. The range of fire is very limited (approximately 340 Hammer units when fired while stationary), but is capable of dealing heavy damage in close quarters.
An enemy only takes damage from any of a single Flame Thrower's particles once every 0.075 seconds. Unlike most weapons, the Flame Thrower's base damage is scaled based on the age of the oldest touching flame particle, not distance from the target. This scale begins at 100% for new particles and decreases as they age, down to 50%. The weapon's damage also experiences a ramp-up based on how long an enemy is attacked. Damage begins at 50% and increases up to 100% in approximately 0.9 seconds. If the target is ever not in contact with any flame particles, the ramp-up resets. The ramp-up is separate for each enemy being attacked. Buildings are unaffected by the ramp-up. Critical hits are affected by both the age scaling and the damage ramp-up.
Secondary fire causes the weapon to deliver a compression blast which deflects enemy projectiles, pushes opponents away, and extinguishes burning teammates. Deflected enemy projectiles deal mini-crit damage if they would not already be doing critical damage. If so, the deflected projectile deals critical damage. Each compression blast costs 20 ammunition, so it is possible to use 10 Compression blasts before needing to retrieve more ammo. Unlike the weapon's primary fire, the user can still use compression blasts if the weapon is directly in contact with a wall.
Apart from direct damage, the Flame Thrower also sets targets on fire, causing the target to burn and take additional damage for a short time (known as "afterburn"). Pyros are immune to afterburn, but still take damage directly from the Flame Thrower itself. A Spy disguised as a Pyro still receives afterburn. Fire can be extinguished or (partially) mitigated in several ways. Afterburn from the Flame Thrower reduces healing from Medi Guns, Dispensers, and the Amputator by between 20% and 100%, with the reduction increasing in an inverse proportion to the amount of healing the item is giving. It also reduces the effects of the Vaccinator's ÜberCharge by 20%.
Using the primary fire of the Flame Thrower on a friendly Huntsman-wielding Sniper lights his arrow on fire, and an enemy hit by this arrow afterward is ignited; however, the Pyro who lit the arrow does not receive assist credit.

Unused content
- The Flame Thrower was initially going to work similarly to the Minigun, in that it would have a brief period of spin-up before firing. This is evidenced in engine code in a couple of places.
- There is a bit of confusion, however, as the commenting on some engine code for movespeed adjustments based on if the player is aiming indicates that Pyros are to get a speed boost while firing. The Pyro's max speed by default is set to a value of 300.0, so if this code was functional, it would result in a 100.0 point decrease in max movespeed.
- The Flame Thrower was initially going to have an Incendiary Rocket alt-fire attack. This is evidenced as the name TF_WEAPON_FLAMETHROWER_ROCKET appears in engine code in a few places.
- There are also references to CTFFlameRocket in engine code.
- As well, present in the tf\reslists\all.lst file in the PatchVersion 1.0.0.0 preload content build of Team Fortress 2 is a filename string for a particle effect for the Incendiary Rocket; tf\particles\incendiaryrockettrail.pcf.
- Evidence of the existence of this particle also appears in engine code.
- The stats for the Incendiary Rocket, based on evidence in the engine's code, would have been:
- Cost to fire: 10 ammo per rocket
- Damage: 15
- Radius of explosion (in Hammer units): 198
- Damage type: DMG_BLAST | DMG_IGNITE | DMG_RADIUS_MAX
- There is also a sound script entry in the PatchVersion 1.0.0.0 build for the Incendiary Rocket.
Bugs
- The Flame Thrower's Medi Gun healing and resistance reduction is not actually 20%, as stated in the patch notes.
- Healing is reduced by 50% with any Medi Guns, and by 100%/100%/75% with level 1/2/3 Dispensers, respectively.
- The resistance reduction applies only to the Vaccinator's Übercharge, and does not apply to the Vaccinator's passive resistance.
- At point-blank, damage ramp-up takes longer to reach maximum damage, taking up to 2 seconds. This can be mitigated by looking a bit downward while attacking.
- Damage is dictated by the oldest particle in contact with the player. As a result, still players next to walls are dealt less damage than expected, as old particles hit the wall and do not leave the player's hitbox. This can be mitigated by aiming slightly above their head.
- When damage ramp-up on any target begins, the first particle always deals maximum damage.
- The Flame Thrower can be inspected while being fired.
- While deployed, the Flame Thrower emits a constant gas noise. Upon using a compression blast, this noise stops completely and does not resume until firing flames or switching weapons.
Trivia
- Beta builds of Team Fortress 2 featured a hose connecting the Pyro's back canister to the Flame Thrower. However, upon release, the hose was redirected to a propane tank on the weapon.
- The hose is still visible in the Pyro's HUD icon.
- The Flame Thrower, along with the Rainblower and Stock Rocket Launcher were obtainable in Saints Row IV by pre-ordering the game on Steam.
