 This weapon's use is extremely similar to the Flare Gun's, but what distinguishes it from the latter is its self-damage bonus. Experienced Pyros may choose this weapon over the Flare Gun so they can "flare jump", which gives Pyro mobility.

 ==== The Shotgun ====
-The stock shotgun is a very commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. It allows the user to quickly dispatch of revealed Spies and Scouts that may be attacking the combo, as well as providing a surprising amount of damage to bombing Soldiers and Demomen. It's downsides are considered to be negligible, being that it can only be used as a close range weapon and does not provide any long range damage, but due to the Pyro's defensive role, this is not always needed. yes

 ==== The Powerjack ====
-One of the most commonly used melee weapons used in competitive Pyro play, The Powerjack grants the Pyro 15% movement speed while active, allowing him to quickly traverse the map, which can lend itself well to flanking enemies and moving to the action after a respawn. In addition to this, killing an enemy with The Powerjack will return  25HP to the Pyro, even over healing him if he happens to be over 150HP when scoring the kill. This can make the Pryo very resilient in sticky situations, but due to the Pyro's defensive nature, this will only be used in a pinch. The 20% damage vulnerability while active may make melee fights with Spies and Scouts difficult, but an experienced Pyro will rarely put himself in this situation, and will only attack with The Powerjack to secure a kill on an injured opponent if his Flare Gun or Shotgun are not enough to finish the job.
