| − | The '''Flare Gun''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#pyrosecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a single-shot, team-colored {{botignore|flare gun}} with a flared barrel.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The weapon fires low-damage flare [[projectiles]] that travel at approximately 2000 [[Hammer unit]]s per second. The flares have a shallow trajectory curve that causes them to drop vertical distance drastically at long range. Enemies hit by the flare will take minor damage and be set on [[fire]]. The damage dealt is not subject to damage falloff or ramp-up from distance. Additionally, flares will deliver a [[Critical hits|critical hit]] on targets who are already on fire. Unlike most other weapons that require reloading, the Flare Gun will be reloaded even if the player switches to a different weapon before the reload animation plays.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The flare disintegrates on contact with any surface, or with flares fired by the opposing team, with a hissing noise. While the weapon cannot be fired while the player is underwater, the flare can damage (but not ignite) submerged enemies if fired from land.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Taunt]]ing with the Flare Gun equipped will perform the [[Hadouken]] kill taunt.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Flare Gun is automatically given to any player who obtains 10 [[Pyro achievements]].

| |
