”

The Detonator is 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 creates a small explosion that catches players on fire. The explosion can also be used to boost yourself. It has a 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.
