The Degreaser is a craftable primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a Flamethrower comprised of a gas pump, car muffler, exhaust pipe, fire extinguisher, and stove top burner.
This weapon reduces the delay caused by weapon switching by 65% for all weapons, faciliating strategic use of weapon combos (for instance, with the Axtinguisher). However, equipping this weapon reduces afterburn damage dealt by 25%. Unlike its unlockable primary weapon counterpart, the Backburner, the Degreaser retains the compression blast ability.

Damage
See also: Damage
| Range | Damage per particle | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|
| 0-200 units | 6.2 | 139.5 |
| 200-384 units | 3.72 | 83.7 |
- Notes
- Flame damage is identical to the Flamethrower.
- Base damage is based upon range (or, by extension, particle lifetime) and is rounded at the end of all calculations (after Critical multipliers, etc).
- There is very slight variability, ±0.08 per particle, because some particles are at an angle. This makes for slightly varying travel times.
- Damage-Per-Second values assume all particles find victims.
- Base damage changes over particle lifetime, instead of distance from player. All other weapons affected by distance measure from player to player.
- Critical hit: 3× base damage, then round to nearest whole.
- Mini-Crit: 1.35× base damage, then round to nearest whole.
- Afterburn: 2 damage every 0.5 seconds (3 on every 4th tick), 45 damage in total.
- Mini-Crit: 4 damage every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds, 80 damage in total.
Note: Damage-Per-Second values assume all particles find victims.
Base damage changes over particle lifetime, instead of distance from player (all other weapons affected by distance measure from player to player). Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
Function times
- Attack Interval: 0.04
- Ammo Consumption Interval: 0.08
- Weapon Switch Delay: 0.2345
All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

- The native kill icon is only displayed when destroying buildings. When killing enemy players, the Flamethrower's kill icon is displayed instead.
- Because of the faster draw time, the taunt glitch (whereupon a player may taunt, then quickly change weapon, and have the taunt animation play for the originally-equipped weapon) is still possible.
Trivia
- The Pyro's Degreaser is a reference to the emulsifying agents used to remove heavy oils and grease, which are sometimes referred to as "Template:W". Firstly, when mishandled with heat, degreasers (especially engine degreasers) are known to cause severe burn or injury due to their highly flammable and explosive nature, much like the Pyro's weapon. Secondly, degreasing items such as engines, gears, stoves, etc. will make them run more efficiently and possibly faster by removing unneeded gunk. The degreasing nature of the Pyro's weapon may therefore explain why it and all weapons used alongside it can be switched faster.
- The Degreaser's -25% afterburn damage affects the Flare Gun as well.
