— Manmelter publicity blurb
|
” |
The Manmelter is a secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a grey, retrofuturistic 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 the other flare guns, the Manmelter's energy bolts do not inflict additional damage to ignited players. The Manmelter itself has unlimited ammo, and cannot fire random Critical hits. It requires reloading, but lacks a reload animation; instead, the Manmelter plays a distinct but quiet sound, similar to that of the Machina when it is fired without scoping, and produces a small spark slightly after it is ready to be fired again. When holding the primary-fire button (or firing as fast as possible), this sound and spark effect do not play.
Holding the alt-fire button (default key: MOUSE2) activates a vacuum-like function, pulling up dust from the ground and extinguishing teammates that are on fire. It extinguishes at roughly the same interval as continually airblasting with a flamethrower, although the player is required to press and hold alt-fire again to keep the vacuum going after they have extinguished a teammate. For each ally extinguished, the Manmelter grants the user 20 health (similarly to a compression blast) and 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 results in the Hadouken kill taunt. As the taunt kill shares the properties of the Manmelter, enemies hit by the Hadouken also disintegrate into cinders.
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.

Bugs
- When this weapon's projectile is reflected, it is reflected as a Flare Gun flare.
- The Critical hits counter does not show when the active weapon is not the Manmelter.
- Firing at least one time causes the weapon to not fully go back to its resting position.
- While holding down alt-fire after having saved up charges, trying to fire while still holding alt-fire instantly depletes the Manmelter of all its saved charges, and the Crits counter is reset to 0. The weapon does not actually fire anything while this happens.
- Occasionally the ash-suck particle effect may not appear.
- If a friendly Pyro is inflicted by afterburn from the Gas Passer, and the Pyro extinguishes the friendly Pyro, they receive points and health, but not a stored critical. This does not happen with other classes.
- Occasionally, when firing a Critical hit, the extinguish particles play despite not extinguishing anyone.
- Sometimes, the Critical hits counter will quickly decrease to 0 before resetting to its intended value.
- The Manmelter can cause self-damage to the player if positioned very close to a wall and shot at a specific angle.
- If the user dies because of this, the Detonator's kill icon is used. Standard gib rules apply, if the shot deals 10 more damage than health left, the Pyro will gib.
- If the user dies to self-damage whilst above 16 HP when the damage is taken, their body will will ragdoll momentarily and then swiftly disintegrate; as intended. If the user is at or below 16 HP when the self-damage is taken, then they will gib, rather than ragdoll.
