“ | Surging electrolyzed ultra-waves of pure phlogiston, this devastating incinerator will get them all hot under the collar! Actually, it will burn them alive. Horribly.
— Phlogistinator publicity blurb
|
” |
The Phlogistinator (also known as the Phlog) is a primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a retro-futuristic ray blunderbuss with some metal parts colored either copper or silver depending on the team, and a team-colored canister stamped with the Dr. Grordbort crest. It fires waves of energy that function identically to the Flame Thrower's flames.
This weapon cannot gain random crits or use compression blasts. However, while equipped, all fire damage done with any weapons by the Pyro increases the 'Mmmph' bar. However, even though it is not stated in the weapon's description, this damage only works against players, not buildings. Once filled, it can be activated with the alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2), or by taunting (default key: G) which performs a taunt that enables a short crit boost for the Phlogistinator only. During this taunt, the wielder becomes invulnerable to damage and knockback. The taunt cannot be activated if the player is in the air or in water.
It requires 300 points of fire damage to completely fill the 'Mmmph' bar (1200 damage against robots, or 3000 damage against tanks, in Mann vs. Machine), and when full, a team-colored particle effect (similar to that of the Medi Gun at full Übercharge) appears in the muzzle of the weapon as a visual indicator. The duration of the buff is 10 seconds, minus the length of the taunt.
Enemies killed by the Phlogistinator suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange cinders that quickly fade away.
Afterburn reduces healing and shield resists from a Medi Gun by 20%.
The Phlogistinator was later contributed to the Steam Workshop at Valve's request.

Note: Flame damage is proportional to particle lifetime instead of distance from target. Unlike most weapons, Critical hits are also affected by the scaling. Additionally, there is a very slight damage variance (±0.08 / particle) due to differences in particle angles.

Bugs
- Occasionally after activating 'Mmmph', the charged particle effect may remain on the muzzle of the weapon. This can be easily fixed by switching to another weapon and then back again.
- 'Mmmph' gained is not reduced to reflect Damage Resistance. For example, continuously damaging a Spy protected by the Dead Ringer allows the 'Mmmph' meter to be fully charged, despite the Spy not having enough health under normal circumstances to do so.
- Similarly, damage vulnerability does not affect the build rate of 'Mmmph'. For example, killing a Heavy with the Warrior's Spirit active does not fully fill the 'Mmmph' meter.
- If the player is switched to the enemy team when the round ends with a full 'Mmmph', the charged particle effect in client view briefly retains the old team's color before disappearing.
- Using a special taunt with a full 'Mmmph' causes the charge particle effect to disappear.
- This can be fixed by switching weapons.
- If the player activates 'Mmmph' with this weapon, and then switches to another primary weapon via Resupply or by picking one up from the ground, the new weapon retains the remaining crit-boost gained from 'Mmmph'.
- If the Pyro activates 'Mmmph' and receives any sort of knockback (such as explosions or airblast from an enemy Pyro), the taunt is interrupted, but not its invulnerability. This is because the invulnerable effect is set by number of seconds, as opposed to when the taunt finishes.
- The Phlogistinator can be inspected while being fired.
Trivia
- In the 1700s, Phlogiston was believed to be an invisible floating substance that was released from objects when they were set on fire.
- This weapon's design is inspired from the "Unnatural Selector", a model from Weta's online store.
- The Phlogistinator is an Aether Combustor according to the Weta Workshop page for Dr. Grordbort[1].
- According to the same page, it "surges electrolysed ultra-waves of pure phlogiston".
- The Phlogistinator can be seen in the comic "True Meaning", in which the Pyro and the Engineer find alien weapons.
