The Degreaser is a primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a flamethrower comprised of a gas pump, car muffler, exhaust pipe, a team colored 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, afterburn damage caused by this weapon is reduced by 25%. Before the Hatless Update the stock Flamethrower and the Degreaser were the only unlockable primary weapons that retained the compression blast ability, however as of the Hatless Update, all Pyro primary weapons have this ability.

Damage and function times

| Damage and function times | ||
|---|---|---|
| Shot type | Particle | |
| Damage | ||
| Flame damage (close) | 100% | 6.2 / particle |
| Flame damage (far) | 60% | 3.72 / particle |
| Critical | 11-19 / particle | |
| Mini-crit | 5-8 / particle | |
| Afterburn | 2.25 / tick 45 total | |
| Afterburn (mini-crit) | 4 / tick 80 total | |
| Function times | ||
| Attack interval | 0.04 s | |
| Ammo consumption interval | 0.08 s | |
| Afterburn duration | 10 s | |
| Airblast cooldown | 0.75 s | |
| Values are approximate and determined by community testing. | ||
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.

Update history
September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)
- The item was added to the game.
- [Undocumented] Fixed native kill icon not displaying when killing enemy players with the Degreaser.
- [Undocumented] Fixed players claiming Health by switching to the Powerjack as the enemy dies from burn damage from the Flamethrower.
- Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on tournament servers when the server is restricting the player's weapons using the item_whitelist.
- [Undocumented] Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on Medieval maps for items that are not allowed in medieval mode.
- [Undocumented] Several particle effects, including Flamethrower fire, were altered to appear brighter. These changes do not apply to ATi graphics card users and some others.
- [Undocumented] The weapon was added in the crafting blueprint for the Sharpened Volcano Fragment.
March 10, 2011 Patch (Shogun Pack)
- Updated model with optimizations and new LODs.
- [Undocumented] The weapon was removed from the crafting blueprint for the Sharpened Volcano Fragment.
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.
- Sometimes the weapon may appear to produce flames in client view even when primary fire is not held.
- The Degreaser's trigger is too big for the Pyro's hand to reach. Despite this, whenever the Pyro squeezes under the trigger, it will move accordingly.
Trivia
- Template:Ws are emulsifying agents used to remove heavy oils and grease. 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.
- The term "degreaser" also refers to the practice of removing grease from objects such as motors and other mechanisms in order to make them operate more efficiently. This may be a reference to the faster weapon switch time.
- 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. The same mechanic allows a Pyro to single-handedly achieve a mini-crit with the Flare Gun on an enemy Pyro during that initial ignition.
