Talk:Backburner
Firstly I'd like like to make it clear that the Backburner was in fact affected by the (now) 10% damage nerf to the flamethrower. The BB does 15% more than the current damage of flamethrower, not the pre-update damage; if it did that, it would be doing closer to 25% more than the current FT damage, which it isn't according to the numbers here. So compared to the old Backburner, it's actually doing only about 3.5% more (115% of 90%), not 15%.
Secondly, is there a way we can express this on the page? Right now it's kind of misleading by not mentioning the nerf, implying that the Backburner actually got a straight 15% damage buff. Jimbo Jambo 06:37, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
HIDDEN
Yes? No? Should HIDDEN stats be added to the weapon info boxes? --Firestorm 18:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'd say yes, especially when they're not obvious like this — Wind 18:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'd say no, because the box should mirror what is shown in game, however, it should be noted somewhere. -- Nineaxis

- Well that's fair, but it's still a weapon attribute, so maybe it should be written below the box? — Wind 18:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps a deep-red font to distinguish it --Firestorm 18:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Isn't there the hidden-attributes property for that? Makes it appear as black. Definitely very discreet. -- Vi3trice (talk) 18:42, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Holy Jesus on a moped, there is. Now i've just gotta edit the template so it's at the bottom instead of in the middle --Firestorm 18:45, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Also, should I add the "HIDDEN:" in front of it again? --Firestorm 18:46, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- lol, that's embarrassing. And no, you shouldn't add it; if it were to be added, it should be added to the template, not the backburner page. — Wind 18:50, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- There, look good? I don't know why it's in the middle as opposed to the bottom though, it would look better there. --Firestorm 18:53, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Fix'd — Wind 18:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Probably because the hidden attribute could be either positive or negative, so it sits between them rather than being under the negatives. -- Vi3trice (talk) 18:59, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm adding the hidden attribute again to the backburner; as far as I (and my items_game.txt) know, it still doesn't randomly crit - Mistah Phoenix 00:42, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Trivia
Didn't they add a firing sound for it slightly after the release of the Pyro Update? I do remember that when it was released, the Backburner used the same sound as the Flame-thrower. -- Vi3trice (talk) 19:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- That's mentioned in "Related Patches" --Firestorm 19:09, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Help
I think the backburner looks really cool, but I also think it's a crappy weapon,anybody know how I would go about making the standard FT or the Degreaser look like the backburner?? --Chaplin 00:33, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
