The update to Pyro, along with a “Meet the Sniper” video is coming soon. From rockpapershotgun.com:

This includes the introduction of a new unlockable weapon for the Pyro, the Axtinguisher. (Best name ever?) Dishing out half-damage when used alone, if used to chop a player you’ve already set on fire (it’s funny how innocent this seems in the context of the game) it guarantees a critical hit.

You can read the whole article here. I’ve seen a ton of complaints about the Pyro being underpowered….I never understand that. Define underpowered – do you mean it’s hard to set the entire team on fire every single round? Wahh. Pyro’s one of the fastest classes, and smart ones know well to use the shotgun when the flames won’t reach. Anyway, looking forward to this Axtinguisher thing. Seems cool!
