Hey all.
I love my pyro so im gunna do some pyro stuff.
Item
#1 "Distress caller"
flair gun replacement
Here are some quick silhouettes .
The idea with these is to go with more of a shotgun / rifle / launcher look.
The cylinders on 2 & 5 are meant to be extra flairs.
Item# 2
- slightly singed headband
Here is a quick concept
I've been wanting a headband for the pyro for some time now.
Item # 3
(coming soon)

Unfortunately, all those seem like shotgun replacements more than flare gun replacements.
Headband looks good.
I would go with design 5, the others look pretty blocky. Other than that, keep it up!
I know that you're not supposed to include what they do, but just to give you an idea of what it would look like:
New flamethrower:
No compression blast
Can't light arrows
-25% ammo
+50% damage
+10% range of flamethrower
what I see when I look at this is...
- help to your team
+100% spam
valve can just ignore anything stat based
this is an asthetics competition. your making models not ideas.
Oh God no. Not in TF2. As much as it may be interesting, change it or remove the metal plate.
Which was good because I prefer not to.
Only went with the metal plate to add a bit more visually to it.
Im going to try out adding a badge or token to it.
Though the scorch marks all over the headband give it enough character. Doesn't really need anything else.
And a flare shotgun should be distinctly different from the shotgun.
That's probably as visual as a headband can get.
here is an a concept for the Distress Call.
Infectedfury, have you ever heard of Dragon's Breath? Your designs look very shotgun-ish, but you want a flare gun replacement, so I thought I'd show you something that might inspire you:

RE: the headband, have you considered modeling it after Ryu's from Street Fighter? He already has a Hadouken taunt.
BTW 2 and 5 are my favorites.
Keep up the good work/get back to work.
lol
you do realize that this is gonna pretty much render the spy useless.......right?
i love how everyone is trying to upgrade the pyro, soldier, sniper. But nobody cares about the spy class. The spy class has been rendered pretty much useless nowadays. There's been more than a dozen anti-spy weapons added to TF2. You have the Jarate which disables a spy's cloak, the flamethrower, flare gun, the tribal man's shiv which has the slow bleed effect, not to mention that the spy makes a big sound whenever he uncloaks.The Southern Hospitality which also has a slow bleed effect.
but sure, make the flamethrower even more spammable so that the spy becomes even less effective a class.
