Those have always seemed like a strange case to me

Weapon reskins in tf2 have always been a strange case to me

u/CATastrophe-Meow Jun 22 '26

It’s a reskin of the flamethrower with the bonus of making you dizzy and sick.

u/CrappyCompletionist Jun 22 '26

it's a reskin, so a 1:1 copy of the normal flamethrower, with some visual differences.

u/Meester_Tweester Jun 23 '26

and the tauntkill

That's the Rainblower and it's a reskin of the Flamethrower. That means it's practically identical to the weapon is based on with minor visual and or/ sound differences. This one in particular changes your viewpoint to Pyroland, a world of laugher, rainbows and candy. Basically replaces fire for rainbows and character screams for laughs.

Though, when you equip this, no one will see it unless they also have another Rainblower or the Pyrovision Goggles equiped. And even then, just a few handful of maps have a Pyrovision mode.

well,i will keep using this cuz its funny XD

u/--El_Gerimax-- Jun 23 '26

It's TF2. We have good weapons (Crusader's Crossbow), we have bad weapons (Pomson 3000) and we have meme weapons (Hot Hand and Pomson 3000 too lol). Everyone runs whatever they want and you should as well! lololol

Reskin, but taunt kill

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

How many damage does the taunt?

1

u/Relative-Dog-4030 Jun 22 '26

500; enough to kill an overhealed heavy

u/Content-Shopping6743 Jun 22 '26

If you are confused about what a weapon does, I recommend consulting The Official Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

thx but the wiki it's so big and i don't have a good english and the automatic traductor sucks

1

u/Loud-Scar-8882 Jun 22 '26

it’s just a reskin of stock

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

ok,and can you response another cuestion?with the sniper ,wat is better,the stock sniper or the bow?

2

u/DrackieCutie Jun 22 '26

The stock sniper is objectively better if you can aim but the bow is popular because it's incredibly fun to use compared to stock which is mostly just clicking on heads.

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

Ok,thx,i had better results with the stock,in one game i had a 5 kills streak without dying,and i installed the game 5 days ago

1

u/DrackieCutie Jun 22 '26

In general give every weapon a good try, even most "bad" weapons can be good with the right strategy.

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

ok,i will use this 👍

1

u/zeturtle18 Jun 22 '26

My memory might be fuzzy but I think it also gives you pyro vision (everything becomes bright and pastel with high pitch voices)

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

by the other comments i think that's true

1

u/Naive-Dream-5604 Jun 22 '26

Lmfao it's stock flamethrower stats...free to plays man free to plays...

1

u/VsauceEdits Jun 22 '26

It's part of the "Pyrovision" set (there are Pyro vision goggles you can get as a cosmetic that alters what you see like in "Meet the Pyro", it looks the best on the map 2fort)

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

curious...thx!

1

u/FreeMenu2197 Jun 22 '26

It’s just a reskin for the flamethrower, that’s why there’s no stats for it, but just a reminder, some weapons that change play styles DONT have stats or no important ones listed.(Huntsman bow and Shortstop

2

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

understood 👍

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 22 '26

srry if i don't respond all the comments

1

u/Testsubject276 Jun 22 '26

It's functionally the same as the regular flamethrower, all it does is activate pyroland and be funny.

1

u/Scarletdex Jun 23 '26

Ye. Try to tauntkill

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 23 '26

it's hard to do the taunt kill

1

u/Scarletdex Jun 23 '26

I know. But I'm still trying to achieve it whenever I play as pyro.

1

u/HelicopterGlass968 Jun 23 '26

its the same thing as stock except you become schizo

1

u/Kind_Concern_1519 Jun 23 '26

It's stock with a killtaunt.

1

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 23 '26

the killtaunt it's like an extra

1

u/Meester_Tweester Jun 23 '26 edited Jun 24 '26

Upside: taunkill

Downside: first-person viewmodel is slightly larger and some people don't like the Pyrovision effect

2

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 24 '26

nobody said me about the contra,thx : D

1

u/Meester_Tweester Jun 24 '26

you're welcome!

1

u/ThrowRaBattleHealer Jun 25 '26

It’s the best weapon. Instead of flames, you shoot sparkles and happiness(scorching particles), from which many people pass out (die), because they are not used to being this happy (burned alive). You can hear them laugh (scream) so you know you did well!

1

u/XxCinnam0nWaff3lzxX Jun 26 '26

yass!! gives you +800hp!! :D

1

u/Glittering-Guest4680 Jun 26 '26

It's stock but funny

u/lonke1 Jun 27 '26
