The Manmelter is a secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a grey, retro-futuristic laser pistol, with a small vial that contains team-colored liquid.
The weapon fires flaming bolts of energy that are similar to the flares fired by the Flare Gun, but travel 50% faster. Unlike flares, the energy bolts cannot inflict guaranteed critical hits on ignited players. The Manmelter itself has unlimited ammunition, cannot fire random critical hits, does not need to be reloaded, and has a 20% slower firing speed. Because of its lack of reload animation, The Manmelter will play a distinct but quiet sound when it is ready to be fired again.
Holding the alt-fire button will activate a vacuum-like function, pulling up dust from the ground and extinguishing teammates that are on fire. For each ally extinguished, the Manmelter stores a guaranteed critical hit for later use, similarly to the Frontier Justice and Diamondback. Up to 35 crits can be stored in this fashion, all lost upon death. Firing a crit from the Manmelter shoots a burst of fire from the gun.
Enemies killed by the Manmelter suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange cinders that quickly fade away.
Taunting with the Manmelter equipped will perform the Hadouken kill taunt.
This item was named the "Manmelter 3600 ZX" in promotional materials from the Official TF2 Blog and Weta Workshop.
The Manmelter was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
