The Fire retardant suit is a scrapped unlockable primary item for the Spy in the closed beta. It is represented in the player's backpack by a bundle of the Spy's suit wrapped in a dark team-colored band with the Pyro's class icon.

The Fire retardant suit protects the Spy by reducing fire damage by 90%. An alternate 'Beta 2' version of the suit grants the wearer complete immunity to the afterburn effect. With the Fire retardant suit worn, the Spy gains increased protection against the Pyro's flames, but loses the ranged attack capabilities of the Revolver, Ambassador, Big Kill or L'Etranger.

Since the item is still in an unreleased stage, these attributes may be changed or the weapon may be scrapped entirely.

Damage

None. Makes the user take 90% less damage from fire or makes the user immune to afterburn effects.

Function times

  • Attack Interval: Unknown, assumed none.
  • Activation of the suit came into play when player was disguised. When hit by Pyro flames, the suit was to block 90% of the flames. The effect wore off when and if the player either died or undisguised.

All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Demonstration

Trivia

  • Within the game's resource files, there exists an unused attribute that makes the Spy fireproof while disguised, possibly hinting at the suit's inclusion in a later update.
