The Detonator is a secondary weapon for the Pyro in Team Fortress 2 Beta. Currently, it uses the Flare Gun model. The weapon's alt-fire detonates the flare in mid-flight, creating a small explosion which ignites enemy players. The knock back from the explosion can also be used to Flare jump in a manner similar to rocket or sticky jumping. Players wielding the Detonator have a 20% explosion vulnerability. It was released in the Team Fortress 2 beta on February 11, 2011.

Update history

(Beta) February 11, 2011 Patch

• The Detonator, a new Flare Gun, has been added. Its stats are:
  • Alt-fire detonates flare in flight
    • Does a small explosion that catches players on fire
  • 20% explosion damage vulnerability

Bugs

• 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 Flare Gun and not the reflected flare icon.
• From a first person view the flare seems to fire from behind the Flare Gun, just 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.

Trivia

• The Detonator was probably based off The Gentle Manne's Olde Firecannone, one of the weapons in the Advanced Weaponiser.
