The Detonator is a secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a Flare Gun with a modified elongated barrel taped in place, an extra curved sight and spiral paint designs on the chamber.
This weapon fires unique firework "flare" projectiles which, upon contact with an enemy, will deal slight damage as well as set them alight. Should a flare strike an enemy already on fire, mini-crit damage will be inflicted and the target's afterburn duration will be reset.
The weapon's main trait, however, is its eponymous detonate ability. Whilst a flare is in flight, pressing secondary fire will cause it to explode, creating a small blast radius which damages and ignites nearby enemy players. The knockback from the explosion can also be used to flare jump in a manner similar to rocket or sticky jumping. However, Pyros wielding the Detonator will suffer an additional 25% damage taken from their own explosive weapons, reducing the usage of the technique.
Taunting with the Detonator equipped allows the Pyro perform a deadly Hadouken.
The Detonator was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta.

Update history
February 11, 2011 Patch (Beta)
- The Detonator, a new Flare Gun, has been added. Its stats are:
- Alt-fire detonates flare in flight
- Creates a small explosion that catches players on fire
- 20% explosion damage vulnerability
- Alt-fire detonates flare in flight
- Detonation particle effect increased to better match the radius
- [Undocumented] Added a new sound effect for projectile.
- Hooked up new Detonator sounds
- Flares now detonate on impact with the world, but with a greatly reduced radius (manually detonated radius unchanged)
- Replaced +20% increased blast damage with +20% increased self blast damage
- [Undocumented] The Detonator will now deal mini-crits instead of crits, on burning targets
June 23, 2011 Patch (Uber Update)
- The Detonator was added to the main game.
- Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for all of the new weapons in the Uber Update
Bugs
- In some instances, most notably where the player switches to a different weapon after firing a flare, the flare will deliver a critical hit to a burning enemy. This can also apply to reflected flares, but can be negated where the reflecting Pyro themselves switch to the Detonator as the flare travels; in that instance, the flare will only deliver mini-crit damage.
- When detonating a flare in a large group of enemies, the weapon may only apply afterburn to one enemy.
- Despite having a unique firework model that is seen when reloading, the weapon fires the Flare Gun's projectile model.
- The Pyro's fingers clip slightly into the barrel of the weapon.
- The afterburn of a flare projectile can harm a Scout under the effect of Bonk! Atomic Punch.
- If a Pyro were to reflect a flare and hit a target who then dies from the afterburn, the kill icon will be that of the Detonator and not the reflected flare icon.
- From a first-person view, the flare seems to fire from behind the Detonator, much like the Huntsman.
- When an enemy is hit with a detonated flare, the blood particles will come from where the flare was detonated, instead of the player.
- The Detonator uses the Flare Gun's critical hit sounds when launched.
Trivia
- When first released in the Beta, performing a flare jump would not count as an explosive jump, meaning that a Soldier with the Direct Hit would not deliver mini-crit damage against a flare jumping Pyro.
- Prior to the Detonator's release, a mod called "RMF Ability Pack" had a similar modification to the Flare Gun that allowed the projectile to explode into confetti.[1]
- Prior to the Detonator's release, the Advanced Weaponiser mod had a weapon called the Gentle Manne's Olde Firecannone that allowed the user to detonate the projectile at will. The item was removed from the mod when the Detonator was added to the main game.
