The Pyro on just about anything

The Pyro is a mumbling pyromaniac of indeterminate origin who has a fervent fondness for fire and all things fire related. Wielding a homemade Flamethrower, the Pyro can ignite opponents, whittling their health away over time with the ensuing afterburn damage. The Pyro also wears an asbestos-lined suit that protects the wearer against any afterburn effect.

Due to the short range of the Flamethrower, the Pyro relies heavily on ambush tactics to catch opponents off-guard. One of the primary and vital roles of the Pyro is Spy checking; a puff of flame will ignite (and therefore expose) both a cloaked and a disguised Spy. Though categorized as an offensive class, the Pyro can also be a useful asset in defense, protecting friendly Sentry Guns from Spies, removing Electro Sappers from an Engineer's Buildings using the Homewrecker or the Maul and can also send an entire attacking team retreating for health.

In addition, the Pyro can use the compression blast ability to reflect enemy projectiles, extinguish burning teammates, separate a Medic from its target, disorient enemies by pushing them into the air, and even rocket jump by reflecting a rocket toward the Pyro's own feet. The Pyro can also ignite a friendly Sniper's Huntsman arrow, thus igniting whoever the arrow hits.

It is even possible for the Pyro to use a Detonator jump to get to places normally unreachable.

The Pyro is voiced by Dennis Bateman.

Bio

Basic strategy

Main articles: Pyro tips, Pyro strategy
Pyroava.jpg
  • Ambush enemies to catch them in the short range of your Flamethrower. Use corners to your advantage.
  • Don't approach enemies head-on; they will notice you and use your short range to their advantage.
  • Approaching enemies from the back is usually a much safer and stronger route to attack. This is an especially effective method when employed with the Backburner.
  • Your Flamethrower chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen weapons to refill your supply.
  • You can often set enemies on fire and retreat, leaving them to die from the afterburn.

Weapons

Main article: Weapons

Note: Weapon damage is approximate and listed at base value. See individual weapon pages for additional figures.

The Flamethrower, Backburner, Degreaser, Flare Gun, and Detonator deal no damage when fired underwater, instead they produce harmless bubbles. However, they will deal base damage if you are above the water and your enemy is also slightly above the water. There is no afterburn however, making these weapons less effective.

  • If a burning player enters a spawn area and changes to Pyro, they will spawn as that class but ignited.
    • The burn will last as long as it would had should they had been ignited originally.
    • Although the Pyro will be burning, they will not take damage from afterburn, but will still shout "Fire!" after burning for a while.
    • During the burn, the Pyro is susceptible to Axtinguishing, like any other class, and can also be extinguished by teammates.
  • The Pyro's mouthpiece sometimes will clip through its collar.
