The Flare Gun is one of the three new weapons added with the Pyro Update. The weapon becomes available after unlocking 10 Pyro Achievements, thus reaching the "Pyro Milestone 1".

The weapon fires flares who not only deal damage to an enemy when hit, but also ignite them. That allows the Pyro to deal with enemies from a distance, most notably against Snipers and Engineers.
