| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Pyro''' is a mumbling pyromaniac of indeterminate origin who has a fervent fondness for all things fire related. As shown in [[Meet The Pyro]], the Pyro appears to be insane and delusional, living in a utopian fantasy world known as [[Pyroland]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pyro specializes in fighting enemies at close range using a homemade [[Flame Thrower]]. Enemies set on [[fire]] suffer from afterburn and take additional damage over time, allowing the Pyro to excel at hit-and-run tactics. 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although categorized as an offensive class, the Pyro brings a few sources of utility to the battlefield. The Pyro’s [[compression blast]], for example, can deflect enemy [[projectiles]], extinguish burning teammates, and forcibly reposition any enemy, even one under the effects of an [[ÜberCharge]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because enemies hit by fire are visibly ignited, the Pyro is the best class for [[Spy-checking]], as even a small puff of flame can nullify the [[Spy]]’s Cloak and disguise. Additionally, the Pyro can use the [[Homewrecker]], [[Maul]], or [[Neon Annihilator]] to protect an [[Engineer]]’s buildings from an enemy Spy's Sapper or use the [[Scorch Shot]] or [[Detonator]] to [[Jumping#Detonator jump|jump]] to normally unreachable places.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pyro wears an asbestos-lined suit that provides protection from the [[Fire|afterburn]] of other Pyros, though it does not add any resistance to the direct damage taken from the flamethrower. The three incendiary grenades on the Pyro's character model are purely cosmetic and cannot be used.
| |

| − | The Pyro is [[Voice actors|voiced]] by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0060794/ Dennis Bateman].

| − | | description = Only two things are known for sure about the mysterious Pyro: it sets things on fire and it doesn't speak. In fact, only the part about setting things on fire is undisputed. Some believe its occasional rasping wheeze may be an attempt to communicate through a mouth obstructed by a filter and attached to lungs ravaged by constant exposure to its asbestos-lined suit. Either way, it's a fearsome, inscrutable, on-fire Frankenstein of a man. If he even is a man.<ref>[[:File:Pyro card front.jpg|Pyro Trading Card]]</ref>

| − | * 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.

| − | 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.

The Pyro then leans over as foreboding music plays, causing the rainbow to become engulfed in flames. When seen outside of Pyroland, the rainbow does not appear, and the Pyro simply breathes a steady arc of fire before releasing his inferno.

| |

| − | ==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's [[Voice actors|voice actor]], [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0060794/ Dennis Bateman], also voices the [[Spy]] class.
| |
| − | * The Pyro has the same voice for the English, German, Spanish, French, and Russian versions of ''Team Fortress 2''.
| |
| − | * Three [[Napalm Grenade]]s, 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 [[Non-player characters#BLU team (original)|first BLU team]] Pyro resembled {{w|Abraham Lincoln}}.
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − | * The Pyro's mask is in ''[[Super Monday Night Combat]]'' as a skin that can be bought from the shop available in the game. The Pyro also got a hat called the ''[[Triclops]]'' in this cross-promotion. This was made available in the '''{{Patch name|5|10|2012}}'''. The items can still be obtained today.
