Pyroland publicity blurb

Pyroland, as it is officially named, is how the Pyro sees the world through its eyes. It was first seen in Meet the Pyro.

In Media

As seen in Meet the Pyro, Pyroland is a stark contrast to the dark, desert locations in Team Fortress 2, such as Badlands. Instead of run-down desert towns, Pyroland appears as an even more cartoonish, bright and pastel-colored land with big flowery meadows, a very light blue sky with giant, pudgy kittens, puppies, and hamsters floating around, giant lollipops and candy sprouting out of the ground, and a little town full of candy shops and party decorations. The song "Do You Believe In Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful plays in the background.

Through the Pyro's insane mind, the BLU team are seen as little winged babies, or Cherubs, having their normal heads on chubby diapered bodies. They gleefully coo and giggle at Pyro's seemingly innocent antics, when in reality they are being brutally hunted and killed — for example, in Pyroland, the Pyro blows bubbles at the Scout-baby, making him laugh and swat at the bubbles, while the real Scout is actually being hit in the face with a Scorch Shot flare. In both Pyroland and reality, the Pyro keeps an air of carefree, happy-go-lucky cheerfulness. It is also discovered in Ring of Fired that fire is mostly the source of the bright colors and scenery for Pyroland; without it, the Pyro views Pyroland in a more grey, muffled, dull, and bland perspective, with people appearing as cartoonish creatures speaking in a garbled language.

In Game

By equipping the Pyrovision Goggles, Rainblower, Lollichop, Infernal Orchestrina, Burning Bongos, Balloonicorn, or Reindoonicorn, multiple features are active.

Maps changes

The player is allowed to see certain maps through Pyro's eyes:

Note that changes in 5Gorge, Barnblitz, Foundry, Mann Manor, and Mannhattan only add strings of holiday lights, where the others in the list are totally re-colored.

By editing the "mtp.cfg" configuration file, the player can add support for Pyroland to any map, or can disable the visual changes on currently supported official maps.

Other changes

  • Multiple birthday mode and holiday mode features are active:
    • Health and ammo pickups appear as cakes or wrapped as presents, respectively.
    • Gibs turn into gears, toys and other silly items such as a unicycle.
    • Cables are adorned with lights as well as the ropes for grappling hooks.
    • Blood effects become balloons, streamers, and confetti.
  • Lights will be turned on/glow brighter (e.g. outside lights on the left side of the RED spawn in Sawmill).
  • Signs in objective-based games read "MMM MMMPH", except those in Doomsday.
  • Most company logos are erased with white paint, but some change to fit the theme. For example, "Cornwell" on Dustbowl is changed to the word "Candy".
  • Resupply lockers are purple with yellow handles and have pictures of a cuddly dog on the left side (for bullets) and a cuddly cat on the right side (for health).
  • The Soldier's, Pyro's, and Demoman's grenades (and items that replace them) appear as baby bottles.
  • Enemies' and allies' voices become high-pitched (does not apply to the player's own voice).
  • Enemies and allies on fire will be surrounded by sparkles, but not the player in third person.
  • Certain smoke effects will become bubbles, such as the rockets from the Soldier's Rocket Launcher and the flares from the Pyro's Flare Gun.
  • Instead of death or injury sounds, players will laugh when hurt or killed.
  • Items such as the Rainblower or Lollichop and other Pyro-based Pyromania items are visible to the player.
    • Outside of Pyrovision, the Rainblower and Lollichop will be viewed as the stock Flamethrower and Fire Axe, respectively. However, all Pyrovision items are visible in deathcams, whether or not the player is in Pyroland.
  • All flames effects, either from the Pyro's primary weapons or the Thermal Thruster appear multicolored, changing colors as they travel. The Dragon's Fury fires a large ball of lollipops and rainbow swirls.
  • In the killfeed, Domination messages read "[Player1] is BEST FRIENDS with [Player2]", while Revenge notices read, "[Player1] BROKE UP with [Player2]". Additionally, certain cosmetic items will appear to assist or be assisted by a player for unassisted kills, using the item's custom name, if it has one. If the player has more than one of these items equipped, one will be picked at random for the killfeed notice. These items include:
