	While active, [[afterburn]] damage dealt to enemies by the [[Flame Thrower]] or the [[Flare Gun]] will heal the user by three health per tick (six health per second), along with increasing the Harvester's charge meter, which will stack if multiple enemies are on fire. The Harvester's healing cannot overheal the user, and if the charge meter is full, its healing is disabled entirely until an enemy is attacked with it. The weapon also tracks the remaining afterburn on dead enemies (including extinguished corpses, such as those in [[water]]), gaining the same health and charge as when they were alive. As a penalty, all enemies who are suffering afterburn get extinguished upon the Pyro's death.

	The '''Harvester''' is a melee weapon for the [[Pyro]]. It is a scythe with a crooked wood handle and a damaged, curved blade bolted on. While equipped, it will appear on the Pyro's back regardless of which weapon the user is wielding.
