New TF2 Pyro Weapon Unveiled in Sniper Vignette

Related Topics – Team Fortress 2, , screenshots

Update: The official details on the new weapons have arrived, revealing the device pictured below to be the Flare Gun, which can ignite an enemy at long range.

Original Story: 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 free Pyro update will be available on Thursday, with full details hitting tomorrow.

My Guess:

It is either a FLAREGUN or a BLUNDERBUSS

both would make sense.

Flaregun - Single Shot, Arc, lights enemies on fire
Blunderbuss - Short Range, high Damage, upgraded shotgun.

It is really odd that we have not heard specific info.

They are releasing this in 2 days (hopefully), so the general details should be pretty set in stone.

I recon it has to be a flaregun, it's too close to the real thing:
