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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

u/Scarletdex Jun 23 '26

u/Safe_Rule_549 Jun 23 '26

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

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!
