 | “Ok guys, bad news: we lost that last one.” This article documents experimental content for Team Fortress 2. It may contain speculation, broken links or errors. |
The Afterburner is an experimental primary weapon for the Pyro that was being play-tested by Valve. The existence of this weapon was first discovered in the form of a materials directory string found in the texture_preload_list.txt file that had been added to the game as part of the October 28, 2015 Patch;
models/workshop/weapons/c_models/c_pilot_flamer/c_pilot_flamer
Almost two years later exactly (off by 8 days), the backpack icons and textures for the Afterburner were accidentally leaked in the Jungle Inferno Update. Based on the patch diff for the update, it appears that when Valve had added the new tf\models\workshop directory and migrated some weapons and cosmetics over to the new directory from their original directories (tf\models\player\items, tf\models\weapons\c_models), they accidentally migrated some staging build (in-dev) Workshop content they were testing at the time (if not for the past two years) and pushed it in the update.
