— The Pyro on sinister weapons
|
” |
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.
Flares fired from this gun bounce off enemies as well as allies before exploding, which ignites all enemies caught in the explosion and knocks back the enemy hit with the flare. Flares that do not 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 causes knockback, though it does 35% less damage compared to direct hits from other flare guns. Should a flare strike an enemy already on fire with a direct hit or explosion, Mini-Crit damage is inflicted, the strength of the knockback increases, and the target's afterburn duration is reset. Enemies killed directly by the explosion (not by afterburn or a direct hit) are gibbed.
The knockback itself behaves similarly to a compression blast, except that the angle in which the flare hits an enemy has no effect on the direction they are pushed back; that is, shots fired either from above or from below knock the target away in the same way. The explosion of the Scorch Shot's flares can also be used to propel the player into the air with a flare jump, though this jump gives less distance but lower self-damage than jumps from the Detonator due to the Scorch Shot's 35% self-damage force penalty and 35% lower damage, respectively.
Flares fired from this weapon can destroy stickybombs, in the same fashion as the Detonator, Scottish Resistance, Quickiebomb Launcher, and any hitscan weapon.
Taunting with the Scorch Shot equipped results in the Execution kill taunt. Flares that hit within 100 Hammer units[1] do 420 damage on impact; otherwise they act like normal shots from the gun. The projectile is fired as a normal shot, and travels depending on where the player's reticule was at the time of taunting. Unlike other taunt attacks, this taunt always consumes 1 ammo from the ammo pool.
The Scorch Shot was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Bugs
- The projectile can go through thin walls, such as setup gates, when fired at a correct angle.
- If the player fires the last flare and taunts, the player is still able to do the kill taunt.
- Firing a Critical hit with the Scorch Shot flare causes the following shots fired with the Execution kill taunt to deal only Critical hit damage (59) instead of the full taunt damage (420); this effect lasts indefinitely and is removed by dying, switching class, or sometimes by making normal attacks with the Scorch Shot or other weapons.
