| − | Firstly I'd like like to make it clear that the Backburner was in fact affected by the (now) 10% damage nerf to the flamethrower. The BB does 15% more than the ''current'' damage of flamethrower, not the pre-update damage; if it did that, it would be doing closer to 25% more than the current FT damage, which it isn't according to the numbers here. So compared to the old Backburner, it's actually doing only about 3.5% more (115% of 90%), not 15%.

| − | Secondly, is there a way we can express this on the page? Right now it's kind of misleading by not mentioning the nerf, implying that the Backburner actually got a straight 15% damage buff. [[User:Jimbo Jambo|Jimbo Jambo]] 06:37, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | == No info on it's skin being changed? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I was checking out the Pyro Update article, and I was looking at [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/2/23/Pyro_Update.png the Pyro Update promo image], and I noticed that the Backburner in the picture doesn't have eyes on it. Does anyone here know if the eyes were added after the weapon was added to the game, or was it done in an undocumented change as part of a later update? I feel like there should be some sort of trivia note about the eyes not being on the weapon in that promo image.

| − | : In game it's always had eyes, the promotional art is inaccurate. Now finding which patch made the backpack icon have eyes... that's something for a day when I'm very bored. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 19:31, 25 December 2011 (PST)
| |
| − | ::I wouldn't necessarily say the promo art is inaccurate....maybe Valve modified the skin and removed the eyes to see if it looked better? '''[[User:404 User Not Found|404: User Not Found]]''' <sup>[[User_talk:404_User_Not_Found|(talk)]]</sup> 19:44, 25 December 2011 (PST)
| |
| − | ::: If I had to hazard a guess, it's a way to help distinguish the weapon from the flamethrower. They might have had the art all ready to go, but noticed the weapon didn't read well from a distance. Back in those days, Valve used to make the art of the weapon as the last thing they did, so it's understandable that there were probably last minute changes.

| − | == Random crits ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The pyro page and this article says it is incapable of random crits but it is not listed as a negative attribute in the backpack icon, such as the phlogistinator. Was wondering if it is indeed true (or a mistake somewhere) [[User:BASEBALLFURIES|BASEBALLFURIES]] 22:30, 20 October 2012 (PDT)
| |
| − | :It's the true that it can't roll random crit but because it has crit patten (100% crit from behind) so that's why it can't roll random crits.

| − | | |
| − | It can roll for random crits. Not only is "No random critical hits" not an effect, I've seen firsthand that this weapon can get random crits. It's like the Bushwacka, they both get guaranteed crits for their respective reason, and both roll for randoms.
