maybe the harpoon could be a projectile that pulls people in

"Pulling people in to you" is an often hated mechanic in FPS games (Roadhog and Overwatch being the main culprits).

So perhaps some mechanic related to launching the harpoon and it counting as a melee attack. Perhaps range and arc similar to an uncharged huntsman. Perhaps the harpoon could be recharged by dealing damage.

Perhaps this versatility could come at the cost of severely nerfed afterburn, or instead nerfed airblast.

I was thinking something similar, but using airblast as the way to launch the Harpoon

Hey Additive51, your idea is really creative. For fun I added stats, to it. Sadly, I am unable to upload images to the discussion. Do you know a way I can post my balance and stat Ideas?

That'd be redundant, as I said firing the Harpoon *REPLACES* airblast

What if instead of airblasting and pushing enemies away you could shoot a harpoon on an enemy dealing for example 25 damage and pulling them to your effective range

Hey additive, I have a question. Are you on the offshore discord server? If so what's your username?

No, I'm not. I didn't even know there was one.

+ Attack shoots tar instead of fire that lingers on enemies
→ (Tar will damage over time, slow enemies, can be shot while submerged in water, takes 2 seconds to be extinguished by liquids, cannot be removed by a pyro's compression blast, but lasts 66% less time then afterburn)

+ Alt-fire: Harpoon Shot
→ Fires a single, short-range harpoon that pulls enemies toward pyro
→ (on a 8 second cool down and costs 30 ammo)

- Range reduced by 30%

- Damage reduced by 25% compared to fire

- No compression blast
