If a gas passer is made to have killstreaks (via attribute 2025 "killstreak tier"), it stops working.
The pyro can hold it, but there is no charge meter and it cannot be charged anyway.
Solution
Allow the gas passer to function if it has the killstreak attribute.
This would allow usage of the gas passer to still give killstreak credits for kills, should the TF2 team add a basic gas passer killstreak kit to the game after being fixed.
Alternatives
Allow a killstreak primary weapon to gain credit for kills made using the gas passer.
This is, for example, how the wrangler works. (I observed via testing).

1b. Force all gas passer items to be a tier 1 killstreak (basic) via the 2025 attribute.
1c. Attempt to use it.
2a. Use a "glitched" killstreak kit on a gas passer.
2b. Attempt to use it.
