View source for Talk:Flare Gun

A bug listing states: "If you switch to the Degreaser right after having shot a flare, the Flare Gun won't be able to shoot immediately. It takes as much time as it would take to reload the Flare Gun, though no animation whatsoever is played during this span of time." I may be misunderstanding what is being said, but in my experience the bug refers to the Degreaser not being able to fire for a brief period of time following the switch, not the flaregun.

== Unnecessairy blueprints ==

Did not get a respond on the Crafting Talk Page, so I'll try it here: Why is the Token + Token + Scrap blueprint 'unnecesaariy' while it is for weapons that have multiple? [[User:Kazzymodus|Kazzymodus]] 15:11, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Because we only list them on weapons that have a specific blueprint, where you can use the token blueprint because it saves weapons. It is not necessary to list them on every single weapons page because ALL of them can be crafted using the tokens method, so it's redundant.

:: Then why does [[Your Eternal Reward]] have one?? [[User:Kazzymodus|Kazzymodus]] 21:24, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:::I thought I'd explained why. YER has a blueprint. The blueprint using tokens uses less weapons, so we showed that blueprint to allow the reader to make the better choice. It is not needed on '''all''' weapon pages because all (non-promo) weapons can be crafted from the tokens blueprint, so the recipe is redundant because they can just look at the crafting article.

:::: What is this I don't even about the Token Blueprint for the YER costing less (8) then the reclaimed blueprint (7)? And by the way, I'm only posting Token Blueprints that are limited to one weapon (Wrangler, Flaregun, Kritzkrieg and Frontier Justice). [[User:Kazzymodus|Kazzymodus]] 17:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
::::: The current consensus seems to be that we only need token blueprints for weapons where it is a more viable option. Of course, it could also be for those weapon not unlockable through achievements. So we probably do not need token blueprints for those examples you provided?--<span style="color:purple">'''''Focusknock'''''</span> 19:41, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::: True, but achievement weapons are sole and getting those specific weapons through the drop system is rare, so why not? And once again, why does YER have a token blueprint if it is not more viable than the reclaimed one? [[User:Kazzymodus|Kazzymodus]] 15:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

== Flare Gun Jump ==
Has anyone heard anything about an alt-fire Flare gun jump? I've had a few people coming to me saying it's being implemented. Does anyone know if this is true, and if so, does anyone ahve a source on where this idea is coming from?--[[User:MEDUNN|MEDUNN]] 12:41, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
: The jump is only for the Beta weapon the Detonator. The regular Flare Gun remains unchanged.--<span style="color:purple">'''''Focusknock'''''</span> 15:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
:: Ah, thanks for the clarification. So just to be clear Valve hasn't announced any changes to the standard Flare gun and the reports of it being modified are false?--[[User:MEDUNN|MEDUNN]] 16:05, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

== Mystical Flare Gun Ability ==

The afterburn of a flare projectile can harm a Scout under the effect of Bonk! Atomic Punch.  <- evidence?

So the current quote for the page, the Soldier s'more quote, is now being used on the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Connoisseur's_Cap Connoisseur's Cap].

== Reload type ==

This and all of the sniper rifles all had "single" as their reload type. I don't see a clip count on the HUD, changed it to No Reload. [[User:Manta|Manta]] 00:37, 19 September 2011 (PDT)
:The weapons do reload though, although it's kind of automatic. "No Reload" implies the weapon can be continuously fired, but that's obviously not the case. The [[Minigun]] is an accurate example of No reload, as the Heavy never takes the time to put new ammo in it. - http://i.imgur.com/6vKcd.png[[User:Nixshadow|<span style="text-shadow:#869 0 0 5px; color:#a8b;"><u>nixshadow</u>]]</span> <span style="text-shadow:#859 0 0 5px; color:#a8b">([[User talk:Nixshadow|t]]|[[Special:Contributions/Nixshadow|c]])</span> 00:42, 19 September 2011 (PDT)
::But it CAN be continuously fired. The reload animation is just an animation, you don't have to watch it (switching away and switching back still lets you fire), there's no magazine the flares get loaded into, unlike say, the crusader's crossbow, which you need to watch the reload animation in full before you can fire again. Definitely no reload by the way it's actually coded. [[User:Manta|Manta]] 01:07, 19 September 2011 (PDT)
:::I reckon switching weapons to allow you to fire faster would count as Single - it's still not quite the same as the Heavy's minigun, is it? If there are any reload animations or any tangible delay, that counts as reload time. Same with the sniper rifles.
