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.

The Degreaser reduces the delay caused by weapon switching by 65% for all weapons, facilitating strategic use of weapon combos (such as the Axtinguisher). However, the afterburn damage caused by this weapon is reduced by 25%. Unlike its unlockable primary weapon counterpart, the Backburner, the Degreaser retains the compression blast ability.

Damage

Identical to the Flamethrower

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.

Previous changes

January 7, 2011 Patch

• Fixed native kill icon not displaying when killing enemy players with the Degreaser.

Bugs

• 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.
• After firing the Degreaser, sometimes the Degreaser may still look like it is firing in first person view when it actually is not.

Trivia

• The Degreaser is a reference to the emulsifying agents used to remove heavy oils and grease, which are sometimes referred to as "Template:W". When mishandled with heat, degreasers (especially engine degreasers) are known to cause severe burns and/or injuries due to their highly flammable and explosive nature, much like the Pyro's weapon.
• Despite the Pyro's immunity to afterburn, the Degreaser allows players to switch weapons fast enough to single-handedly get a Critical hit bonus from the Axtinguisher against an enemy Pyro while they are initially ignited.
