Sprężone powietrze, to alternatywna funkcja wszystkich miotaczy ognia Pyro z wyjątkiem Flogistonatora. Jest to podmuch wydobywający się z broni, który przy użyciu zużywa dwadzieścia jednostek amunicji (pięćdziesiąt jednostek przy użyciu Dupalacza) by odepchnąć wrogów na małą odległość. Można również tego użyć, by odbić większość pocisków i natychmiastowo ugasić płonących członków drużyny.

Odbijanie
Pociski znajdujące się w obszarze działania powietrza są przekierowywane zgodnie z pozycją celownika. Odbite pociski nie są po prostu "odbite", jak w lustrze; Pyro może nimi celować, nadając im zupełnie nowy tor lotu. Odbijane pociski są z miejsca zatrzymywane i wystrzeliwane ponownie z obecnej pozycji Pyro, wycelowane dokładnie w obiekt na jego celowniku, co może czasem dawać zaskakujące rezultaty, na przykład gdy rakieta odbija się pod niespodziewanym kątem, zupełnie innym, niż ustawienie postaci by wskazywało. Dzięki dobremu wyczuciu czasu i pozycji Pyro może odbijać pociski gdzie chce, niezależnie od ich pierwotnej trajektorii. Granaty i bomby samoprzylepne, które znajdują się już na jakiejś powierzchni, potoczą się w kierunku wyznaczonym przez celownik.
Wymienione pociski mogą zostać odbite:
- Rakiety (wszystkiego typy, włączając rakiety poziomu 3 działka strażniczego, pociski energetyczne Wyżymaczki Krów 5000, i oczy MONOCULUSA)
- Granaty
- Bomby samoprzylepne
- Piłki Piaskuna i ozdoby Pakującego Zabójcy
- Flary
- Sikwondo i Wściekłe Mleko
- Strzały Łowcy i bełty Kuszy Krzyżowca
Grenades and baseballs are not naturally given any additional vertical velocity when they are reflected. Aiming these deflected projectiles is more difficult, but their trajectory can be controlled by the Pyro's angle and position. They must be reflected upward in order to arc as they do when fired normally.
Deflected projectiles are considered to have been fired by the Pyro deflecting them for the purposes of friendly fire and kill awards. For example, a RED grenade will turn BLU when deflected and hurt any RED team players in the approximated area when it explodes. It can also hurt the Pyro who deflected it, similar to a Soldier damaging himself with his own rockets. The only exception to these rules is the stickybomb. Although they can be pushed away, they do not change ownership. The only change to a deflected stickybomb is that if the Demoman who fired the stickybomb detonates it while within its blast radius, the Pyro will be credited for the kill. Deflected Mad Milk and Jarate will soak enemy players and extinguish allies, and will have all the attributes of normal Jarate and Mad Milk, for example, the Pyro will be given kill assists if a teammate kills an enemy under the effects of reflected Jarate. On-hit effects are applied to the Pyro that reflected it. For example, it is possible to gain the +15 health bonus from the Black Box's rocket if the deflected rocket successfully hits a target. Likewise, the Crusader's Crossbow's bolts will heal teammates if reflected and the Pyro will be credited with the healing caused.
Non-critical deflected projectiles will always turn into mini-crits, while critical projectiles retain their critical status. One unique exception to this are Cow Mangler 5000 energy blasts, which are always critical when deflected. Additionally, a deflected baseball will only stun as it would for the Scout who launched it. If the Pyro is crit boosted, for example under the effects of the Kritzkrieg's ÜberCharge, reflected projectiles will turn into critical projectiles. Again, neither of these effects apply to stickybombs.

Strategy
The reflective abilities of an air blast can be used both offensively or defensively:
Defense
- Reflecting projectiles prevents them from harming your allies even if the projectile is not relocated. This is particularly effective against grenades and rockets.
- A compression blast can be used to blow away stickybombs, making an enemy Demoman's job more difficult. This is especially useful when defending the Engineer's Sentry Gun as stickybombs can be difficult to destroy by a single Engineer with his Shotgun or Pistol.
- The compression blast can also be used to repel enemies trying to attack friendly Engineer buildings at close range. This combines well with the strong knock back of the Sentry Gun against airborne targets.
- In Control Point, King of the Hill, and Payload matches, it can be used to remove attacking players from the point in order to stave them off until your allies can get there for reinforcement.
- The compression blast can be used to increase the space between the Pyro and the enemy, allowing escape when at low heath.
- Though not as effective as using flame, a compression blast will also affect cloaked Spies, which can be marginally useful as a Spy checking method if one is using the compression blast anyways.
Offense
- In combat situations, use the surroundings to your advantage and try to blast your enemies off ledges and towards other hazards on the map.
- This is particularly effective on the map Sawmill. Enemies can be air blasted into one of the two saw blades moving back and forth in the room at the center of the map.
- The Medi Gun and Kritzkrieg's ÜberCharges do not prevent the knock back of a compression blast. The Pyro can take advantage of this and separate the Medic from his patient by knocking him or the patient away: This will mean that only the Medic is Übercharged and on his own.
- Invulnerable enemies can also be killed outright by compression blasting them into environmental hazards.
- The knock back from a compression blast can be used to cancel the Scout's double jump.
- The Demoman's charge can be rendered useless with the compression blast. However, one must still beware the extended melee reach that is shared by many of the Demoman's melee weapons.
- Using the compression blast, one can juggle an enemy in the air in a predictable route, rendering them nearly helpless in the air for you or your teammates to attack, or to simply advance past them.
- The Reserve Shooter deals mini-crits against airborne opponents, which pairs effectively with compression blast juggling.
- Snipers cannot fire the Huntsman while airborne; the compression blast allows you to render them unable to attack by keeping them in the air if they do not have their SMG equipped.
- The compression blast can be used to force enemies into friendly Sentry Gun range for easy kills.
- The compression blast can be used to push an enemy into a corner, creating a good chance to finish them with your other weapons.
- This is particularly effective against a burning opponent when using the Axtinguisher or Postal Pummeler. This action is commonly referred to as "Puff n' Sting."
- In Control Point, King of the Hill, and Payload matches, the compression blast can be used to remove defending opponents blocking the capture, particularly useful when outnumbered or overpowered and the point or check point has almost been captured.
- It is possible to reflect Level 3 Sentry Gun rockets back at the gun to destroy it, or utilize them to kill a nearby Engineer who is repairing it.
- Blasting an enemy downwards to the floor, makes the enemy stick to the ground for a moment, leaving them vulnerable to close range attacks.

April 14, 2011 Patch (Hatless Update)
- Removed airblast restriction from Backburner (at a 150% cost).
Bugs
- Holding down the secondary fire button to continuously use a compression blast will cause the recoil animation to play only once before remaining static.
- Scoring a headshot on an enemy with a reflected arrow will have the kill icon of a normal headshot (as opposed to that of an arrow headshot).
- Enemies compression blasted into the ground are considered to be airborne for a short period of time. They cannot move, and take mini-crits from the Reserve Shooter.
- Even though the Pyro is credited for any kills given by a reflected Stickybomb that the Demoman detonates (including on the Demoman himself), this has no effect on the domination counter if the Demoman is not yet dominating the Pyro. However, if the Demoman is dominating the Pyro, a kill from the reflected Stickybomb's will reset the counter.
Unused content
- As of the September 30, 2010 Mann-Conomy Update, the Pyro (through editing the items_game.txt file) has the ability to charge an air blast. Charging increases the knock back dealt to enemies. It has no effect on projectiles.
Trivia
- The size of the compression blast is 280 Hammer units.
- The compression blast is the only source of knockback that is not countered by the Mantreads or the Quick-Fix. This is likely due to it not dealing damage.
- If a baseball is deflected back and stuns the Scout that hit it, it will show the enemy Scout assisting himself if he is killed by the Pyro.
- Despite the fact that syringes are projectiles, they cannot be deflected.
- If a teammate kills an enemy who has recently been hit with a compression blast, the Pyro receives a kill assist.
- Killing someone with a deflection produces a unique kill icon depending on the projectile. There are a few inconsistencies for kill icons from deflected projectiles:
- Sentry Gun rockets can be deflected, but the kill icon used is the reflected rocket kill icon instead of their own.
- Alternative rocket, grenade, and stickybomb launchers all use the kill icons from the Stock weapons they replace.
- The Cow Mangler 5000 does not have a deflected kill icon and uses the environmental hazard/suicide skull and crossbones icon.
- Deflected Crusader's Crossbow bolts use the Huntsman arrow kill icon.
- Deflected flaming arrows, flaming arrow headshots, and Sandman baseballs possess unique kill icons in the game files, but are all currently unused.
- Strange variants of flamethrowers will not gain a kill count if an enemy is killed with a reflected projectile.
