Primary Changes
Primary Changes (all of these changes apply to unlockables)
Airblasting now preserves the effects of some projectiles: (I.e Cow Mangler charged shot)
Airblast can now remove inflicted debuffs such as Mad Milk, Mared and Lemonade.
Increased ammo consumption interval from .08 seconds to .1 seconds.
Afterburn damage increased by 1
Airblast can no longer go through walls
Airblast now actually reflects projectiles rather than duplicating and changing team affiliation of them
Damage increased by 33%
Airblast bypasses Boss Weighdown
Airblast rage-on-hit effect reduced to +3%
Reasoning/Notes
Reasoning/Notes
Airblast is more or less Arsonist's defining mechanic across all weapons (except that one), so the goal here was to make it a bit more versatile as a supportive tool. Flamethrowers also consume ammo slightly slower and deal 1 more point of tick damage on afterburn, to make Arsonist a little more deadly.

The Interceptor for far too long has been more or less a straight upgrade to stock. Make it airblast worse, cool!

Making the Phlog a bit less completley useless when out of crits without also setting up the typical pyro combos that this thing would thrive with due to all damage filling the meter.
Prototype W-M1
(Formerly the Phlogistinator)
Build 'Overclock' by dealing damage
Taunt on full Overclock to gain
crits for several seconds.
-25% airblast cost
Aftershock does not build up Overclock.
Halved Aftershock damage
Airblast destroys projectiles instead of reflecting them, and does not push enemies
Aftershock replaces Afterburn, an effect that does not consider enemies to be burning but can stack with Afterburn.

(Shotguns)
Secondary Changes

Reasoning/Notes
For more info on new stats. Go to Multiclass, or Mechanic for the Bullet Stormer
The mentioned shotguns all suffer from an issue where they just encourage using the shotgun as a primary, rather than a secondary to fall back on. I'm still keeping stock as it is for newcomers, but these 3 Shotguns will all
Crankenstein
Texas Ten Shot (Formerly the Bullet Stormer)
Changes:
Removed from Arsonist
Reasoning/Notes
Reasoning/Notes
To give Arsonist another combo-shotgun that's a lot more beginner friendly, and to give him another way to clap back at Trollpers.
Reserve Shooter
Changes:
Now Multiclass: Added to Arsonist
Added 20% faster holster speed on top of deploy
Visual: Added scrapped teamcolor model
Secondary Changes
(Flare guns)
Secondary Changes (all of these changes apply to unlockables)
All Flare Guns can now actually deal damage to the following:
Explosive Pumpkins
Buildings
Flare Guns now use the same hitboxes as Explosive projectiles (Rockets and Grenades).
Deal double damage to burning Bosses (180 on a critical hit)
Reasoning/Notes
Reasoning/Notes
The Flare Gun is, despite how much I love it as a concept, kind of anemic and hard to get into for newcomers. One major issue they suffer from is making Arsonist, the guy who's already useless against buildings, more useless against buildings.
The two new stats should make the Flare Gun generally a lot more easier to get into for newcomers, as well as make it.. marginally better against buildings.
Reasoning/Notes
Reasoning/Notes
The Detonator is a weapon that is great. For exactly the wrong reason. Let's be real, has anyone ever used this thing for its detonation gimmick? It's always been used because of the fact that it has a blast jump that allows the Arsonist to basically do full on dive-bombs into the enemy team, or clear gaps that you are really not supposed to clear as an Arsonist.
This rework aims to make the Detonator, purpose-wise, a lot more faithful to what the original TF2 version was meant to do, which is to do a more precisely-timed input to get more damage.
Detonator
Compared to Flare Gun:
Detonated flares minicrit vs burning players
Undetonated flares do not set enemies on fire
Detonation crits are subject to splash damage falloff
15% slower projectile speed
Alt-Fire: Detonate flare to set all enemies nearby the flare on fire. Detonated flares do +50% damage
Self damage reduced by 50%
Original Stats

Stats are now compared to the flare gun
Melee Changes
Stock Melee Changes
Alt-Fire: Use the extinguisher properly, creating a cone that functions similarly to Airblast (which can push back enemies and remove all ally debuffs, but does not reflect projectiles). Can also effect yourself.
25% more ammo from packs.
Can no longer un-debuff teammates by just hitting them.
Unlisted: Extinguish re-pressurization rate is 100% slower compared to Airblast
Added paintability
Reasoning/Notes
Reasoning/Notes
Rewored to more properly extinguish your teammates instead of... smachking them upside the head with a fire extinguisher? Also allows you to cleanse your OWN debuffs and push people around, because why not
The 25% more ammo from packs has been added because, genuinely I have no idea how to make this thing more useful beyond this stat.
Reasoning/Notes
Reasoning/Notes
Something to increase the mobility of the weapon, and also ensure that comboing will at least kill a light class, whilst reducing the annoyance factor of missing.
