oh wow, another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pay to win taunt. Fantastic!
Combining this with the phlog is straight up unbalanced, and broken. I really hope this doesn't get added.

Paywalling methods once again. Lovely.

The animation is long enough to not worry about it being a paywalled taunt-kill, especially if it's actually an airblast which does zero damage. I did not consider using this with the Phlog or without ammo which is something the other comments brought to my attention. If it reverted to the puff of smoke when you're out of ammo/using the Phlog then it would be perfect! Either way I still want the airblast variant for the funny, and I'm still voting YES!

Pyro Firefighters confirmed (Please VALVE, we definitelly need this "taunt")

Option B! that or make them flairs

Dope taunt

But I kinda wish pyro would give a shrug at the end, after rattling the canister around since it is empty

itsnot that deep lil bro

This is so low effort man. Oh the pyro uses fire so let's make a 'taunt' where he pulls a fire extinguisher out of his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and uses it. Like come the ♥♥♥♥ on at least TRY, people.

Honestly if you're running phlog and somehow manage to reflect a rocket with this taunt you deserve it and it's funny

oops, gave the phlog a buff

i think A would be better. would like to see a version where its a similar premise but it just shoots an instakill fireball for a tauntkill

emote

Honestly if we wanna run with it being a taunt that can do something other than the puff of smoke as intended, instead of a full on airblast just make it have the same push-force as the shortstop's shove move

the idea of having a "taunt airblast" is actually so funny...love this

My personal opinion is that option B is used by default, but if the player has the Phlog or is out of ammo, it changes to A

I would've not cared for the airblast thing, since the start and end is lenghty enough to be better off just using normal airblast (and it's not a straight up taunt kill).
But then someone brought up the Phlog and flamethrowers out of ammo and... Yeah, I think I'll go with A.

Yeah, The Mannmelter is faster than this taunt (while using it with the phlog) but most would rather equip a movility option than the Mannmelter if they can avoid it AND extinguish teammates.

@SynciNG still a kid, right?

Like the one for Demoman that has a suggestion to detonate stickies, I wouldn't see a problem with the airblast variant of this taunt, as it's not really gate-keeping game mechanics behind a paytaunt.

However... this variant can add advantage if the user is utilizing the Phlog, as it can't airblast. It may also be advantageous to use it if you are out of ammo from your primary weapon. Which is unlike that Demo taunt that has to have the stickies already in place.

As long as the taunt properly consume the amount of ammo per airblast (which can depend on the weapon, such as the Backburner), and does not airblast when the Phlog is equipped or when the player is out of primary ammo, then that variant is fine by me. A cute detail flair would be using Option A for the Phlog only, as it lacks the ability to airblast, while Option B is for the rest of primaries.

It’d be cool if it does the airblast thing unless you have the Phlog, in which case it does the puff of smoke. Great concept!

I like the idea here, but I'm gonna say "no" to the airblast variant. Just keep the puff of smoke, it works much better that way, IMHO.

Fancy and very situational if the actual functionality is implemented alongside the taunt itself. Unfortunately, people who can't read between the lines would throw a witdown... cursed TF2 forums, smh worse than Reddit (even tho it's supposed to be the other way around ideally). Tell me... HOW!

this one's a winner hoping for airblast

its literally a taunt kill

Not a taunt, not an emote, not even a taunt kill. It’s trying to be everything and ends up doing nothing—like a puff with no flame. A jack of all fails, and somehow that makes it perfectly Pyro. No thanks.

The Airblast function should NOT be added, it would allow Phlog pyros to extinguish allies (ineffectively yes).

chat we need this for pyro mains

airblast makes way more sense

Can't it be just a normal taunt and not another gameplay-altering paid gimmick? Like, this is not even just a long taunt kill. This one is super short and, according to the concept, behaves like the airblast.

Idk, maybe Pyro tries to use the extinguisher, but flames come out of it instead, and they're shocked by it, and in Pyroland flames are replaced with rainbows.

The taunt performing an actual airblast would be neat.

@person man does raxxo own the concept of “character with fireman cosmetics uses a fire extinguisher”? Lol. I know they made a taunt for it YEARS ago, but apparently it's not on the workshop anymore, so I don't see any harm in a similar taunt existing. It's literally fine.

it's okay

what about option C where fire actually comes out and it's a tauntkill

ANOTHER taunt stolen 1:1 from Raxxo's work?
second time ive seen this happen recently

I remember zesty did comment about Pyro doing something like this with a different taunt lmao.

why does pyro not have ears??? were you guys even trying with this cosmetic???

this goes against literally everything jimmy carter stands for.

:)

Pyro would NEVER extinguish somebody smh damn Emp!! [shakes fist]

pyro would NEVER do something involving fire...

taunting the enemy?

this goes against literally everything pyro stands for.

Oooh, I'm a fan of this one. Multipurpose taunts are a win imo.

nice taunt

This is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ funny, I vote yes.

Incoming meta phlog taunt

Airblast idea could be funny but I would get sick of teammates using it to try to extinguish me as I burn to death. Though getting an environmental kill with it would be funny as hell.
This is fine as a taunt too. I'll say yes.

The phew at the end sold me, this is gold
