Talk:Pyro

Gender

In the class suggestion area of the TF2 main menu (right upper corner) pyro is being referred to as "her".

Why don't you give her a shot?

I consider this to be quite a confirmation enough to say that pyro is a woman. I've been on a many month break from TF2, but I know about the speculation and weird evidence for and against pyro being a woman. I'll be editing the article accordingly. --Maska 16:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

It says he too. This is old. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 16:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

I actually think Pyro is a duck. -- En Ex 16:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, ok. A nice move from Valve. -- Maska 17:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Valve trolling us. :3 -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 17:39, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

guy, says so in the game files globalactors { "demo" "male" "engineer" "male" "heavy" "male" "heavy_hwm" "male" "medic" "male" "pyro" "male" "scout" "male" "sniper" "male" "soldier" "male" "spy" "male" } source: scripts/global_actors.txt. If anything, it's just a little joke calling some men (like the pyro) ladiesSam-1-14 19:56, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

That may just be referring to the fact that the voice actor is male. Truly, I believe there is no definitive answer and Valve will never provide one. Just leave the page ambiguous and let the conspiracy theories fly. It's fun! --Firestorm   20:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Just make him a guy and move on Valve.God! CANPoo 02:43, 21 July 2010 (UTC)CANPoo

My theory is that he's Gromit, from Wallace and Gromit.-CdeMonkey

Airblast's basic tips

I know the basic tips section is off-limit, but I think it'd be appropriate adding the new airblast related tips. After all it's a vanilla feature.--Kid Of The Century 10:26, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

It's not "vanilla", as it was added after the Pyro Update. Danton 06:03, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

It depends more on what you mean by "vanilla": to me (and reasonably) they're all the features you have right off the bat. Compression Blast, upgradable dispensers/teleporters, cloak recharging through metal and building hauling are all abilities you have at your disposition the very moment you start the game for the first time, and therefore they should be in the basic tip section. I concur it should be noted they're available on the PC version of the game only (even if to me it seems the Wiki is almost entirely PC-oriented).--Kid Of The Century 13:23, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

 Support The definition of "vanilla" in regards to software is "as delivered" - including "[upgraded] with official patches" (Just putting this here generally to avoid confusion). Dictionary aside, I don't see why a few airblast tips can't be under "Basic Strategy". -RJackson 13:37, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Pyro

You may want to put this 'suspicous' woman with a bag that looks like the pyro's locker bag, even with the flower, on the sacrifice comic from L4D.http://www.l4d.com/comic/comic.php?page=26 CANPoo 02:24, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Pyro's trivia

"The Pyro is the only class in the game that possesses weapons in each slot that can individually guarantee Critical hits under certain circumstances; the Backburner Crits enemies from behind, the Flare Gun Crits ignited targets at long range, and the Axtinguisher Crits ignited targets."

This is debatable. The spy has the ambassador and the knife, and the sapper isn't a weapon per se. Should this be changed? - Mistah Phoenix 18:33, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

He/She

Can we just shorten this to "it"? We don't even know if its a blasted human or not!--Vaught 12:47, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Say "the Pyro" instead of he, she or it. -- Pilk _(talk) 12:50, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Hrm. Sounds good to me. I'll give the page a good poking at with this. --Vaught 12:52, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
