The Powerjack is an unlockable, community-made weapon added in the Polycount Update. It is a primary weapon available to the Pyro. Like the Pyro's other Polycount Pack items, the Degreaser is 1950's gas station-themed. It is comprised of a gas pump, car muffler, fire extinguisher, and stove top burner.

Damage

See also: Damage

• Base damage is based upon range (or, by extension, particle lifetime), and is rounded at the end of all calculations (after Critical multipliers, et cetera).
  • From 0 to 200 units: 6.2 per particle (139.5 per second).
  • From 200 to 384 units: linear decrease from 6.2 to 3.72 per particle (83.7 per second, 60% of max) (384 is maximum range)
    • There is very slight variability (±0.08 per particle) because some particles are at an angle, slightly varying their travel time.
• Afterburn damage: 3 damage every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds (60 damage total)
  • Mini-Crit afterburn damage: 4 damage every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds (80 damage total)
• Mini-Crit: 1.35× base damage, then round to nearest whole
• Critical hit: 3× base damage, then round to nearest whole
  • DPS at <200 units: 427.5

Note: Damage-Per-Second values assume all particles find victims.

Base damage changes over particle lifetime, instead of distance from player (all other weapons affected by distance measure from player to player). Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
