Valve announces new Pyro weapons

Yesterday I posted some info on the new Team Fortress 2 update, due out Thursday, and more importantly what changes the Pyro will get. Well, today Valve revealed the rest of the Pyro’s new arsenal. In addition to the Axtinguisher, the Pyro will be getting a Flare Gun, which allows him to toast enemies from a distance, and The Backburner, which is a flamethrower that does critical hits is striking an enemy from behind while giving the Pyro 50 health. In addition to these new weapons, the standard flamethrower is getting a new alt-fire. Now the Pyro can shoot out a burst of compressed air that will blow away players as well as incoming projectiles.

Personally I can’t wait for tomorrow. As soon as I get out of work, you can be sure that I’ll be trying to unlock these new guns. If any of you care to join me, my steam name is Yuenanimous. I look forward to fragging alongside you guys.
