The Degreaser is a community-made primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a flamethrower comprised of 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. However, afterburn damage caused by this weapon is reduced by 25%. Like the other Pyro primary weapons, the Degreaser has the compression blast ability, using 20 ammo per blast.

| Attack interval | 0.04 s | |
| Ammo consumption interval | 0.08 s | |
| Afterburn duration | 10 s | |
| Airblast cooldown | 0.75 s | |
| Values are approximate and determined by community testing. | ||
Flame damage is proportional to particle lifetime instead of distance from target. Unlike most weapons, Critical hits are also affected by the scaling. Additionally, there is a very slight damage variance (±0.08 / particle) due to differences in particle angles.

Update history
September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)
- The Degreaser was added to the game.
- [Undocumented] Fixed native kill icon not displaying when killing enemy players with the Degreaser.
- [Undocumented] Fixed players claiming Health by switching to the Powerjack as the enemy dies from burn damage from the Flamethrower.
- Fixed burning deaths to always use the death notice icon for the weapon that started the burn.
- Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on tournament servers when the server is restricting the player's weapons using the item_whitelist.
- [Undocumented] Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on Medieval maps for items that are not allowed in medieval mode.
- [Undocumented] The weapon was added in the crafting blueprint for the Sharpened Volcano Fragment.
March 10, 2011 Patch (Shogun Pack)
- Updated model with optimizations and new LODs.
- [Undocumented] The weapon was removed from the crafting blueprint for the Sharpened Volcano Fragment.
Bugs
- Because of the faster draw time, the taunt glitch (quickly switching weapon upon taunting, causing the taunt animation to play for the newly selected weapon) is still possible.
- Sometimes the weapon may appear to produce flames in client view even when primary fire is not held.
- The Degreaser's trigger is too big for the Pyro's hand to reach. Despite this, whenever the Pyro squeezes under the trigger, it will move accordingly.
Trivia
- Template:Ws 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.
- The term "degreaser" also refers to the practice of removing grease from objects such as motors and other mechanisms in order to make them operate more efficiently. This may be a reference to the faster weapon switch time.
