New TF2 Pyro Weapon Unveiled in Sniper Vignette

Though the official details aren't slated to arrive until tomorrow, the latest Team Fortress 2 character vignette contains a brief glimpse of Pyro's second unlockable weapon.
The device, which appears to be a blunderbuss, joins the Axtinguisher as one of the three unlockable weapons for the fire-happy Pyro class.

As with the recent Medic update, the weapons will be available to players once they earn a set number of class-specific achievements.

The info IS released. The "blunderbuss" they speak of is actually a long range flare gun.

The second is a backburner, in which you get crit when you flame someone in the back.

And the third as said is the Axtinguisher.

the abilityto deflect rocket or something.

[BrotherNick]

Oh, just to tell people, tf2 is free this weekend to play.

[Xi]

the flare gun being the same as the pyro rockets.

[GodsHand]

True, but far from being a classic like the orginal. They need to bring back the spy beinging able to feign (fake death), I know you can go transparent but that's not the same. I still miss the grenads, especially the EMP from the engineer throwing them with metal packs for big expolsion. or just priming the emp to do a suicide run, ala kamakazi stlye.

and it looks like the pyro might also be getting a tool to do weapon jumps via the new secondary fire on the flame-thrower.

[BrotherNick]

omg really? more ways to ambush. :D
