The Burning Bongos are a cosmetic item for the Pyro. They replace the Pyro's default napalm grenades with three small bongo drums, as seen in Meet the Pyro. This item can only be seen in-game by users who are in Pyroland.
When equipped, players see the world through Pyrovision; some maps are transformed into a Pyroland version, gibs and pickups are replaced with their counterparts from birthday mode, low-violence mode is activated, other players' voices become high-pitched, and all players laugh when injured or killed. Additionally, certain cosmetic items show up in the killfeed.
