  • Ambush enemies to catch them in the short range of your Flamethrower. Use corners to your advantage; however, be sure that the nozzle of the Flamethrower isn't visible from around the corner.
  • 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, Phlogistinator, Rainblower, Flare Gun, Detonator, and Scorch Shot deal no damage when fired underwater, instead producing harmless bubbles. The aforementioned weapons will deal damage if fired from above water at an enemy that is only partially immersed in water; however, the water will immediately extinguish the ensuing afterburn.

Bugs

  • When a player is selecting a class in-game while on BLU team, the Pyro is holding a RED team Flamethrower instead of the BLU team Flamethrower.
  • If a burning player enters a spawn area and changes to Pyro, they will change classes but still be ignited for the remainder of the original duration. The Pyro will not take damage from the afterburn but will still shout, "Fire!". During this time, fire-based critical hits such those from the Axtinguisher will affect the Pyro.

Trivia

  • The Pyro has the same voice for the English, German, Spanish, French, and Russian versions of Team Fortress 2.
  • Three Napalm Grenades, weapons from Team Fortress Classic, appear strapped to the front of the Pyro's suit and were originally intended to be usable weapons in Team Fortress 2. However, all thrown grenades were eventually scrapped for balancing purposes.
  • The first BLU team Pyro resembled Template:W.
  • The Pyro is the mascot of "Pyro's Hamburgers", a brand of food sold in Left 4 Dead 2.
  • The Pyro is playable in Killing Floor as a promotional bonus character for those who have purchased both Killing Floor and Team Fortress 2.
  • The Pyro appears in Worms: Reloaded as part of a playable stage. Additionally, the Pyro's gas mask is a selectable hat for the player's worms.
  • The Pyro's gas mask is wearable by the Tank class of Monday Night Combat under the name "Jet Guns Are Better".
  • The Pyro, along with the Heavy and the Spy, is a playable character as one character called "Team Fortress" in the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Pyro drives the standard car whilst Heavy and Spy drive the boat and the plane respectively.
