Soldiers can still use a Shotgun if a Pyro Air blasts their rockets. It is important, however, to note that Snipers are vulnerable once exposed to a Pyro, but beware of their Jarate if they coat you and hit you with the Bushwacka you will instantly die (as it is a critical hit), so try to reflect it, and the Compression Blast can allow Pyros to negate damage dealt by Demomen, as they use purely projectile weapons. This means that although they will run over the Scout and Spy (the Scout can be tricky, however, as they try to stay away from you, and will try to pick you off with his Pistol if you meet him at close range, you are likely to win due to his low health), the Soldier, Demoman and Sniper will quickly take the Pyro out because of their long-range weapons, if you are on low ammo and cannot Air blast their projectiles (rockets and grenades/stickies respectively). The three incendiary grenades on the their character model are purely cosmetic and cannot be used.Īlthough the Pyro can kill anything easily within range and has a fixed amount of health, at long range they're as good as dead. The Pyro wears an asbestos-lined suit that provides protection from the afterburn of other Pyros and all flame-related weaponry (except for the Dragon's Fury and Gas Passer which can light even Pyros on fire), although it does not provide any resistance to direct damage from flame throwers, flare guns or explosions. They can also use the Detonator or Scorch Shot to Flare jump, and the Thermal Thruster jetpack to fly to places that, to them, are normally unreachable. Additionally, the Pyro can use the Homewrecker, the Neon Annihilator, and the Maul to protect an Engineer’s buildings from an enemy Spy's Sapper. The Pyro’s compression blast, for example, can deflect enemy projectiles, extinguish burning teammates, and forcibly reposition any enemy, including one under the effects of an invincibility-granting ÜberCharge.īecause enemies hit by fire are visibly ignited, the Pyro is the best class for Spy-checking, as even a small puff of flames can nullify the effectiveness of the Spy’s Cloak and disguise. Due to the Flamethrower’s short range, the Pyro is weaker at longer ranges and relies heavily on ambushing and taking alternate routes to catch opponents off-guard.Īlthough categorized as an offensive class, they also bring some utility to the battlefield. Enemies set on fire suffer from afterburn and take additional damage over time, allowing them to excel at hit-and-run tactics. The Pyro specializes in fighting enemies at close range using a homemade Flame Thrower. As shown in Meet the Pyro, they appear to be insane and delusional, living in a utopian fantasy world known as Pyroland. The Pyro is a mumbling pyromaniac of indeterminate origin who has a burning passion for all things fire related.
