Which Pyro flare gun is the best?

[Slumdog]

I've used the Scorch Shot for a while thinking it was the best one but I'm curious to see if I've been underestimating the others or simply overrating the Scorch Shot

[Slater]

Depends whether or not you can aim consistently...

flare gun is good if you can aim, detonator is meh, scorch shot is good for killing with afterburn and building mmph

[Starnana]

The Shotgun

Shotgun or detonator. My opinion tho.

[Uscari]

The Flaregun and Scorch Shot are tied at the top for best flaregun. They both have different uses and fill different roles quite effectively.

Detonator is only slightly worse than the other two and still remains a viable sidegrade for flanking loadouts.

Manmelter is noticeably worse than the other flareguns due to it's emphasis on a niche supportive function pyro is already capable of doing with his primary while not compensating for his glaring weaknesses.

Detonator is my favorite

[Heatmaker]

Flare Gun is a decent sidegrade to stock. Best for damage out of the three

Detonator is a decent mobility weapon that allows you to still have some long range defence, unlike the Thermal Thruster which sacrafices all long range damage for great mobility. Best for mobility out of the three

Scorch Shot is a weird weapon. Best for a defensive pyro out of the three

But we all know stock shotgun is the best

Scorch shot for causal, Shoty and flare for comp

[OLDMAN🎅]

Scorch Shot is good to win you can't take time to aim

Scorch usually means that there will always be someone on fire

[Veliona Mercury]

I personally use scorch shot just because i am lazy to change to something else.

Scorch Shot because it fits the Pyro perfectly. Annoying as hell but not that powerful.
