The Engineer

The Pocket Pyro is a community-created cosmetic item for the Engineer. It is a small doll fashioned in the likeness of the team's Pyro, complete with matches in place of napalm grenades. When equipped, it fits snugly into the ammo pouch on the Engineer's belt.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

The Pocket Pyro was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Pocket Protector."

Trivia

  • The Pocket Pyro was submitted with a second style that was never integrated into the game. This style gave the Pocket Pyro googly eyes much like the Sight for Sore Eyes.
  • Referring to the Pocket Pyro as a "firebug" in the description was an intentional nod towards Gang Garrison 2.
  • Frederick Charles "Freddy" Krueger is a fictional disfigured, serial killer that is the primary antagonist of the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series.
  • A pocket pyro is when a pyro plays defensively around an Engineer's buildings to ward off spies or explosive-based classes, such as Soldiers, seeing as Pyros can kill them off easier than an Engineer can due to his weaker weapon selection. This tactic is often paired with Spychecking.
