People are arguing about stats here? It's a misc item ffs, they don't have stats

Visually not that much in the end
KarmaChicken 27 Apr, 2012 @ 9:15pm 
@KarkasMolenKlok it's a misc slot item.
Katastrophe 21 Apr, 2012 @ 5:08pm 
@Engiejack Sandvich.
adosOS 21 Apr, 2012 @ 3:02pm 
but then what would happen?
pyro + engie are like
Medic + Heavy

i havent yet seen a heavy weapon that self heals
so an engie weapon that exposes spys?

but yeah i would love to see this in game as misc. love your work.
Katastrophe 21 Apr, 2012 @ 1:39pm 
This could make an interesting antispy secondary weapon. Maybe a burst fire, VERY close range mini flame thrower intended to quickly ignite players who get a little to close to the engi (ahem DAMN SPIES).
Karkasmolen 21 Apr, 2012 @ 11:56am 
Really...I would think a blowtorch would be a Pyro toy? I dunno that's just me.

Gorgeous looking model presented well...but I'd like to see the character actually holding it, or a youtube of him using it or something. If you don't know how to make that happen then obviously never mind, but if you can that'd help its success quite a bit I think.

dont follow the links they are probs ugandan scammers after ur steam
NassimO  [author] 11 Apr, 2012 @ 8:29am 
Please, stop spamming these links guys, thanks.
Too Early For Flapjacks? 9 Apr, 2012 @ 4:11pm 
so it looks like a small blow torch that weilds that replases the Wrench if welded in melee like the Wrench would do what less then a Wrench and set them on Fire
Xanthos 9 Apr, 2012 @ 1:27pm 
Thus defeating the purpose of the pyro.
76561198052498126 9 Apr, 2012 @ 7:45am 
lOL I THOUGHT IT WAS A PYRO WEAPON
TechnoDirt 9 Apr, 2012 @ 5:05am 
Guys, ffs, it isn't a bloody weapon
Serious Pikachu 9 Apr, 2012 @ 3:32am 
Guys. It's a misc. If you actually would look at the engie holding it. It's just on his side. Which means it isn't a weapon. It doesn't give any effect. It doesn't fire enemies. It ISN'T a weapon.

Just let you guys know.

draco_schaeffer 8 Apr, 2012 @ 5:18pm 
its a replacement for the wrench
Chabbs 8 Apr, 2012 @ 8:09am 
wtf is this
Deep_Thought 7 Apr, 2012 @ 7:23pm 
Its a misc item, not a weapon
Freely_4 7 Apr, 2012 @ 4:20pm 
i like lone Ks idea alot
Lone Ech. 7 Apr, 2012 @ 3:06pm 
Should act as a blowtorch tool.
The Melting Argument should be able to have a 25% chance of lighting someone on fire, but has a 10% damage decrease.
Destroys sappers faster than a regular wrench, but uses 5% more metal than a regular wrench. (Hey, you can make mistakes with a blowtorch!)
zadamanim 7 Apr, 2012 @ 1:27pm 
Seems like it has a lot of polygons compared to the rest of the engie. Making it look worse might make it look better.
76561198060587643 7 Apr, 2012 @ 11:39am 
Is this a flamethrower or a wleding gun?
『 Malv 』 7 Apr, 2012 @ 11:38am 
Trash Pandah 7 Apr, 2012 @ 11:29am 
this ruins the point of the pyros

harnackam 7 Apr, 2012 @ 3:55am 
It could be like a blowtorch, but it doesn't look like one. Modify the nozzle, tank, dial, and put a swich, or something visual to make it shoot the fire. You could use a lever sort of like the one on the shotgun, that the engineer pulls to start it. You can have it be an achievment having something to do with the pyro. Perhaps it could fix your buildings quickly(or like 25%slower than the wrench), and have remove sappers instantly, it should damage enemies more than the normal wrench.

Finally, what the Wrangler sounded like it should've been.
yaKZu 6 Apr, 2012 @ 10:22pm 
apparently people dont know how to read and cant tell that -------------->
says "item slot: misc"
Snartles 6 Apr, 2012 @ 1:32pm 
Ah. I didn't see it. XD
Eink 6 Apr, 2012 @ 12:57pm 
if this was for engie it would just increase the # of engies who just sit in corners and just keep wrenching there sentrys so it should just be for pyro and if it was for pyro if they put it in the game it should be a sencondary wep
ksd 6 Apr, 2012 @ 10:52am 
what ever this may be(misc or weapon) great job! fits the enie perfectly
Pan 6 Apr, 2012 @ 7:40am 
Actually, this would be a really good secondary to repair your sentry faster with less metal.
Not Poodiepie 6 Apr, 2012 @ 4:48am 
@Your Intelligence
Its a Misc -Points to item slot- SEE

mothax 5 Apr, 2012 @ 10:03pm

KarmaChicken 5 Apr, 2012 @ 7:42pm 
walrus, if you look beside the comments andd scroll up, you will see that it says item slot: misc.
INDYKU 5 Apr, 2012 @ 3:25pm 
If you look at the 2nd picture, its obviosly a MISC item, as he has his shot gun out, if it was a wepon hed have a wep discription. :| Btw, I like it~! :D
