The Degreaser is a community-created primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a flamethrower that comprises 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/Postal Pummeler, Flare Gun and Reserve Shooter. However, damage caused by this weapon is reduced by 10%, and afterburn damage is reduced by 25%. Like the Flamethrower and the Backburner, the Degreaser has the compression blast ability, using 20 ammo per blast.
The kill icon for the Degreaser was contributed by Template:Steam profile link.

Bugs
- When damage spread is enabled, the Degreaser can deal either 2 or 3 damage at any given tick. When damage spread is disabled, it always deals 2 damage per tick.
- Rarely, when the Flame Thrower is turned off during full crits, the flame effect can still be seen though the fix of the loophole, unlike a similar bug with the Minigun, the "flame" can only be seen by the player.
Trivia
- Degreasers 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.
