{{Quotation|'''Flame Thrower''' publicity blurb|Your friends will squeal with delight when bathed in the warm glow of the all-new gas-fueled {{botignore|Flamethrower}}{{sic}}. With its commanding style and hyper-efficient performance, you'll be the talk of every barbeque or deathmatch.}}

The '''Flame Thrower''' is the default [[Weapons#pyroprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a long metal pole, connected by a hose to a propane tank. The tank is attached to the pole via fastening bands. A continually lit pilot light can be seen at the nozzle. The trigger is made out of a team-colored gas pump handle.

+
Upon pressing primary fire, the weapon expels a stream of roughly 33 large flame particles per second in a narrow cone, at a cost of 12.5 ammunition per second. Flame particles are not obstructed by enemies or [[buildings]] owned by the opposing team, making it ideal for attacking multiple enemies. The range of fire is very limited (approximately 340 [[Hammer unit]]s when fired while stationary), but is capable of dealing heavy damage in close quarters.

The tank is attached to the pole via fastening bands. A continually lit pilot light can be seen at the nozzle. The trigger is made out of a team-colored gas pump handle.
+
An enemy only takes damage from any of a single Flame Thrower's particles once every 0.075 seconds. Unlike most weapons, the Flame Thrower's base damage is scaled based on the age of the oldest touching flame particle, not distance from the target. This scale begins at 100% for new particles and decreases as they age, down to 50%. The weapon's damage also experiences a ramp-up based on how long an enemy is attacked. Damage begins at 50% and increases up to 100% in approximately 0.9 seconds. If the target is ever not in contact with any flame particles, the ramp-up resets. The ramp-up is separate for each enemy being attacked. Buildings are unaffected by the ramp-up. [[Critical hits]] are affected by both the age scaling and the damage ramp-up.
  
−
Upon pressing primary fire, the weapon will expel a stream of large flame particles at roughly 22.5 particles of flame each second, in what is roughly a narrow cone, at a cost of 12.5 ammunition per second. The range of the particles is much less than the range that the graphics suggest but is not obstructed by enemies or [[buildings]] owned by the opposing team, making it ideal for attacking multiple enemies. The range of the fire is very limited but is capable of dealing heavy damage at close quarters. At its maximum range, the Flamethrower is not accurate enough to put a constant stream on a single target. Note that the weapon cannot be used underwater; it will produce harmless bubbles.
+
Secondary fire causes the weapon to deliver a [[compression blast]] which deflects enemy [[projectiles]], pushes opponents away, and extinguishes burning teammates. Deflected enemy projectiles deal Mini-Crit damage if they would not already be doing critical damage. If so, the deflected projectile deals critical damage. Each compression blast costs 20 ammunition, so it is possible to use 10 Compression blasts before needing to retrieve more ammo. Unlike the weapon's primary fire, the user can still use compression blasts if the weapon is directly in contact with a wall.
  
−
Apart from the direct damage, the Flamethrower also sets targets on [[fire]], causing the target to burn and take additional damage for a short time. Pyros are immune to this themselves due to their fireproof suits, but will still take damage directly from the Flamethrower itself. A [[Spy]] [[disguise]]d as a Pyro will still be set on fire. The afterburn can be extinguished by the [[Medi Gun]] of a [[Medic]], a [[Dispenser]]'s healing stream, contact with [[water]], friendly [[Jarate]], friendly [[Mad Milk]], a [[compression blast]], the secondary attack of a friendly [[Manmelter]], a [[Spy-cicle]], a [[Dead Ringer]]  or any type of [[Health#Health kits|Health pack]]. Using the primary fire of the Flamethrower on a friendly [[Huntsman]]-wielding [[Sniper]] will light his arrow on fire, and an enemy hit by this arrow afterwards will be ignited.
+
Apart from direct damage, the Flame Thrower also sets targets on [[fire]], causing the target to burn and take additional damage for a short time (known as "afterburn"). Pyros are immune to afterburn, but still take damage directly from the Flame Thrower itself. A [[Spy]] [[disguise]]d as a Pyro still receives afterburn. Fire can be extinguished or (partially) mitigated in [[Fire#Surviving fire|several ways]]. Afterburn from the Flame Thrower reduces healing from Medi Guns, Dispensers, and the [[Amputator]] by between 20% and 100%, with the reduction increasing in an inverse proportion to the amount of healing the item is giving. It also reduces the effects of the [[Vaccinator]]'s [[ÜberCharge]] by 20%.
  
−
Secondary fire causes the weapon to deliver a compression blast which can deflect enemy [[projectiles]], push opposing players away, and extinguish teammates who are on fire. Each compression blast costs 20 ammunition, meaning it is possible to use 10 Compression blasts before needing to retrieve more ammo.
+
Using the primary fire of the Flame Thrower on a friendly [[Huntsman]]-wielding [[Sniper]] lights his arrow on fire, and an enemy hit by this arrow afterward is ignited; however, the Pyro who lit the arrow does not receive assist credit.

Latest revision as of 13:56, 25 October 2024

This article is about the Pyro's default primary weapon. For other uses, see Flame Thrower (disambiguation).
“
Your friends will squeal with delight when bathed in the warm glow of the all-new gas-fueled Flamethrower(sic). With its commanding style and hyper-efficient performance, you'll be the talk of every barbeque or deathmatch.
— Flame Thrower publicity blurb
 ”

The Flame Thrower is the default primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a long metal pole, connected by a hose to a propane tank. The tank is attached to the pole via fastening bands. A continually lit pilot light can be seen at the nozzle. The trigger is made out of a team-colored gas pump handle.

Upon pressing primary fire, the weapon expels a stream of roughly 33 large flame particles per second in a narrow cone, at a cost of 12.5 ammunition per second. Flame particles are not obstructed by enemies or buildings owned by the opposing team, making it ideal for attacking multiple enemies. The range of fire is very limited (approximately 340 Hammer units when fired while stationary), but is capable of dealing heavy damage in close quarters.

An enemy only takes damage from any of a single Flame Thrower's particles once every 0.075 seconds. Unlike most weapons, the Flame Thrower's base damage is scaled based on the age of the oldest touching flame particle, not distance from the target. This scale begins at 100% for new particles and decreases as they age, down to 50%. The weapon's damage also experiences a ramp-up based on how long an enemy is attacked. Damage begins at 50% and increases up to 100% in approximately 0.9 seconds. If the target is ever not in contact with any flame particles, the ramp-up resets. The ramp-up is separate for each enemy being attacked. Buildings are unaffected by the ramp-up. Critical hits are affected by both the age scaling and the damage ramp-up.

Secondary fire causes the weapon to deliver a compression blast which deflects enemy projectiles, pushes opponents away, and extinguishes burning teammates. Deflected enemy projectiles deal Mini-Crit damage if they would not already be doing critical damage. If so, the deflected projectile deals critical damage. Each compression blast costs 20 ammunition, so it is possible to use 10 Compression blasts before needing to retrieve more ammo. Unlike the weapon's primary fire, the user can still use compression blasts if the weapon is directly in contact with a wall.

Apart from direct damage, the Flame Thrower also sets targets on fire, causing the target to burn and take additional damage for a short time (known as "afterburn"). Pyros are immune to afterburn, but still take damage directly from the Flame Thrower itself. A Spy disguised as a Pyro still receives afterburn. Fire can be extinguished or (partially) mitigated in several ways. Afterburn from the Flame Thrower reduces healing from Medi Guns, Dispensers, and the Amputator by between 20% and 100%, with the reduction increasing in an inverse proportion to the amount of healing the item is giving. It also reduces the effects of the Vaccinator's ÜberCharge by 20%.

Using the primary fire of the Flame Thrower on a friendly Huntsman-wielding Sniper lights his arrow on fire, and an enemy hit by this arrow afterward is ignited; however, the Pyro who lit the arrow does not receive assist credit.

Damage
Flame damage (close) 100% 6.5-13 / tick
Flame damage (far) 50% 3.25-6.5 / tick
Critical 9.75-19.5 / tick
Mini-crit 4.3875-8.775 / tick
Afterburn 4 / tick
Afterburn (mini-crit) 5 / tick
Function times
Attack interval 0.075 s
Ammo consumption interval 0.105 s
Afterburn duration 4-10 s
Airblast cooldown 0.75 s
Values are approximate and determined by community testing.

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.
