— The Pyro on his excellence

The Degreaser is a primary for the Pyro class. It is comprised of a gas pump, car muffler, fire extinguisher, and stove top burner.
This weapon functions similarly to the Flamethrower in that it is able to use the Compression blast. The afterburn damage it deals, however, is reduced by 25%. On the other hand, there is a 65% speed boost in weapon switching. The Degreaser is therefore most suitable for fire and Axtinguisher combo attacks.

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: 2 damage every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds (45 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.
Function times
- Attack Interval: 0.04
- Ammo Consumption Interval: 0.08
All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.
