The Degreaser is a primary weapon for the Pyro. It appears to be comprised of a gas pump, car muffler, fire extinguisher, and stove top burner all attached to function as a Flamethrower.
This weapon reduces the delay caused by weapon switching by 65% for all weapons, allowing easier strategic use of weapon combos such as with the Axtinguisher. In return, the Degreaser deals 25% less afterburn damage against enemies.
Unlike the Backburner, the Degreaser retains the compression blast.

Damage
Range | Damage per particle | Damage per second |
---|---|---|
0-200 units | 6.2 | 139.5 |
200-384 units | 3.72 | 83.7 |
- Notes
- 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 for 10 seconds, 40 damage in total.
- Mini-Crit: 4 damage every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds, 80 damage in total.
Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
Function times
- Attack Interval: 0.04
- Ammo Consumption Interval: 0.08
All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Trivia
- The draw animation will differ slightly depending on which weapon the player is switching from.
- It has been reported that the Degreaser is also considerably quieter than either of the other flamethrowers.
- The kill icon for the Degreaser will only show if you destroy a building using the weapon but never if you use it to kill an enemy.
- Because of the faster draw time, it is possible to glitch out the item you are using for an action, à la the taunt glitch.
- The Pyro's Degreaser is most likely a reference to the emulsifying agents used to remove heavy oils and grease which are sometimes referred to as "degreasers"(Wikipedia). When mishandled with fire, degreasers (especially engine degreasers) are known to cause severe burn or injury due to their highly flammable and explosive nature.
