| | | | |
| − | The '''Rainblower''' is a [[weapons#pyroprimary|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]], however, it will show up as the Rainblower in the [[deathcam]]. A Pyro with the Rainblower equipped will be shown as having the [[Flame Thrower]] to players not in Pyroland. 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 will perform the [[Armageddon]] kill taunt, igniting and potentially killing anyone in the area. Unlike other Pyroland-related items, players not in Pyroland will also see this taunt, but with slight differences; for example, instead of blowing bubbles, the Pyro will breathe fire. The damage halves for every player hit, making it possible to survive.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Bugs ==
| |
| − | * This weapon does not glow when [[Critical hit#Crit boost|crit boosted]].
| |
| − | ** Furthermore, when crit boosted, the sound it makes is of the original flamethrower.
| |
| − | * When in spectator mode and spectating a player with the Rainblower, the Rainblower shoots out the default particles from the Flame Thrower.
| |
| − | * As with most other taunts, performing the Rainblower's taunt and being knocked into the air will cancel the taunt but not its animation. However, it will also leave the taunt's particle effects at the place the taunt was initially performed, though it will not damage enemies.
| |
| − | ** This will also occur if the player is killed during the taunt animation.
| |
| − | * The flame particles for this weapon do not appear in DirectX 8.
| |
| − | * When {{code|cl_flippedviewmodels 1}} is enabled flame particles still come from the right side.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Trivia ==
| |
| − | * The Rainblower's concept of being seen only in Pyroland comes from [[Meet the Pyro]], where Pyro sees its flamethrower as the Rainblower, and its fire as rainbows.
| |
| − | * The Rainblower, along with the [[Stock weapons|Stock]] [[Rocket Launcher]] and [[Flame Thrower]] were obtainable in ''Saints Row IV'' by pre-ordering the game on [[Steam]].
