The Waxy Wayfinder is a community-created cosmetic item for the Pyro. It is a partially melted, paintable, lit yellow candle on the Pyro's head with strips of wax dripping down the sides. The flame reacts to the directional momentum of the Pyro's movements. The Waxy Wayfinder is a source of illumination and gives off the "Genteel Smoke" particle effect.
The Waxy Wayfinder was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
