“ | Your friends (enemies) will squeal with delight (be consumed with fire) when you cover them with sparkling rainbows (all consuming fire).
— Rainblower publicity blurb
|
” |
The Rainblower is a primary weapon for the Pyro. It appears as a series of four yellow horns and one silver horn with long, spiraling piping and a container of sparkly team-colored fluid. It sprays out a stream of colorful bubbles and rainbows.
This item may only be seen in-game by users who are in Pyroland. A Pyro with the Rainblower equipped is shown as having the Flame Thrower to players not in Pyroland, however, it shows up as the Rainblower in the deathcam. The Rainblower makes wind chime and bubbling sounds when fired. It also makes very light tinkling sounds when deployed but not fired.
Taunting with the Rainblower equipped results in the Armageddon kill taunt, igniting and potentially killing anyone in the area. Unlike other Pyroland-related items, players not in Pyroland also see this taunt, but with slight differences; for example, instead of blowing bubbles, the Pyro breathes fire. The damage halves for every player hit, making it possible to survive.
In combat, this weapon functions identically to the stock Flame Thrower.
