The Thermal Thruster is a secondary weapon for the Pyro. It is a team-colored, metallic jetpack with two rocket thrusters, one on each side (with the right thruster bearing the Pyro’s emblem), and an enclosed yellow light on the top. When switching to the weapon, the backpack’s thrusters fold outwards, exposing two handles which the Pyro holds in each hand. Switching away causes the thrusters and handles to fold inwards into the backpack. Unlike other weapons, switching to or away from the Thermal Thruster locks the user in the animation and does not allow switching from or away until it is finished.
