The '''Gas Passer''' is a [[Weapons#pyrosecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a gas canister. This weapon sprays a gas cloud in the air that douses enemies. Doused enemies will ignite when attacked, applying an afterburn effect for 10 seconds (This includes other Pyros, who are normally immune to the effects of afterburn). This weapon was revealed on October 18th, 2017, as part of Day 3 of the [[Jungle Inferno Update]] alongside The [[Dragon's Fury]], The [[Thermal Thruster]], The [[Hot Hands]], and The [[Second Banana]].

Any enemy that comes in contact with the gas cloud is doused with gasoline for 10 seconds (5 if constantly healed).

The Pyro

The Gas Passer is a secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a bent team-colored gas canister, filled with gas-like substance, with the Pyro's emblem painted on the front and two parallel orange/yellow lines near the bottom.

This weapon has a "Gas" meter that fills up slowly over time and with damage dealt. Unlike other rechargeable weapons, the meter starts out empty when the Pyro first spawns or equips the item, is not filled or affected by touching a resupply locker, and charge is retained upon death and respawning. The meter takes 60 seconds and/or 750 damage dealt to fill, after which the Gas Passer can be pulled out.

The Gas Passer acts somewhat like the Jarate or Mad Milk while being able to be thrown approximately twice as far; upon being thrown, it leaves a team-colored gas cloud on the floor that lingers for around 5 seconds. If the gas can bursts in midair, the gas cloud slowly descends during its lifetime, potentially reaching the floor. The Gas Passer can also be used to extinguish burning teammates and soaked enemies are considered "wet", allowing use with the Neon Annihilator to obtain a Critical hit on a player after they are hit with the Gas Passer.

Any enemy that comes in contact with the gas cloud is doused with gasoline for 10 seconds (5 if constantly healed). Doused enemies, including other Pyros, suffer from afterburn if they take any form of damage, including bullets and projectiles. The afterburn effect lasts for 10 seconds. If the victim lingers in the gas cloud, the afterburn duration is not reset.

Taunting with the Gas Passer equipped results in the Hadouken kill taunt.

The Gas Passer is automatically given to any player who completes the Pyroland Contract "The Gas Passer".
