The Detonator is currently a secondary weapon for the Pyro in Team Fortress 2 Beta. Currently, it is remodeled after the Flare Gun. The Alt-fire detonates flare in flight, and the detonation does a small explosion that catches players on fire. The explosion can also be used to boost yourself. It has a 20% explosion damage vulnerability.
Damage
Afterburn:
- Base: 3 damage every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds (60 damage total)
- Mini-Crit: 4 damage every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds (80 damage total)
Distance from the target does not affect the Detonator's damage. All damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
Note that detonated flares won't receive the Crit bonus for hitting a burning enemy.
Function times
All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Update history
(Beta) February 11, 2011
- 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.
