The Detonator is a community-made secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a Flare Gun with a modified elongated barrel attached, an extra curved sight, and spiral paint designs on the chamber.
This weapon fires unique firework "flare" projectiles which, upon contact with an enemy, will deal slight damage as well as set them alight. Should a flare strike an enemy already on fire, mini-crit damage will be inflicted and the target's afterburn duration will be reset.
The weapon's main trait, however, is it's eponymous detonation ability. Whilst a flare is in flight, pressing secondary fire will cause it to explode, creating a small blast radius which damages and ignites nearby enemy players. Flares will also explode upon contact with the world; this has a smaller radius than a manually detonated flare. The knock back from the explosion can also be used to flare jump in a manner similar to rocket or sticky jumping, however, Pyros wielding the Detonator will suffer an additional 25% damage taken from their own explosive weapons, reducing the usage of this technique.
Taunting with the Detonator equipped allows the Pyro to perform a deadly Hadouken.
The Detonator was previously tested in Team Fortress 2 Beta.

- Flares now detonate on impact with the world, but with a greatly reduced radius (manually detonated radius unchanged)
- Replaced +20% increased blast damage with +20% increased self blast damage
- [Undocumented] The Detonator will now deal mini-crits, instead of crits, on burning targets
- [Undocumented] Flare jump height has been made more consistent and no longer fluctuates based on latency

- [Undocumented] Jumps made with the Detonator are now higher
Bugs
- In some instances, most notably when the player switches to a different weapon after firing a flare, the flare will deliver a critical hit to a burning enemy. This can also apply to reflected flares, but can be negated where the reflecting Pyro themselves switch to the Detonator as the flare travels; in that instance, the flare will only deliver mini-crit damage.
- Despite having a unique firework model that is seen when reloading, the weapon fires the Flare Gun's projectile model.
- If a Pyro were to reflect a flare and hit a target who then dies from the afterburn, the kill icon will be that of the Detonator and not the reflected flare icon.
- From a first-person view, the flare seems to fire from behind the Detonator, much like the Flare Gun.
- When an enemy is hit with a detonated flare, the blood particles will come from where the flare was detonated, instead of the player.
- When dropped on death, the Detonator's flare shows as part of the model.
