The Detpack is a weapon in the classic Team Fortress games and is only used by the Demoman. It is an explosive device with a unique ammo type that creates an enormous explosion when it detonates. Unlike other weapons, the Detpack must be set by the player, leaving the Demoman vulnerable for a few seconds. The Detpack can be set to a five-second detonation charge or a minute-long charge before it detonates.
Certain maps, such as Well and Warpath, have parts of the level that can be blown up by a Detpack. These give the user's team an alternate route.

Update history
January 16, 2003 Patch (Classic)
- Fixed bug where defensive Demoman could lay pipebombs/detpack in spawn room (on maps like Dustbowl) and kill offensive team when teams cycle to the next area.
Trivia
- The Quake Team Fortress Detpack model is a modified Backpack.
- The Detpack probably appeared in Team Fortress 2 at early stages. Beeping sounds can be found in the game files. These were recycled and used for the pre-explosion Payload beep. This sound was also used in the Left 4 Dead series, as a sound for the Pipe Bomb.
