The Pyro is a huge threat at close range. Keeping your distance can make the fight much easier.
Contents
General
- Keeping your distance will negate much of the Pyro's strength.
- Use Weapon Heckling to effectively deal with some Pyros.
Weapon Specific
A list of useful tidbits about the Pyro's tools, and how to counter them.
Flamethrower
Compression blast
- Pyros will often panic when confronted by a Soldier or Demoman. Fire your rockets or grenades immediately after the airblast for a guaranteed hit.
- Do not fire your rockets straight at the enemy Pyro. This makes it easier for him to both aim and reflect the rocket. Use splash damage.
Backburner
- The Backburner lacks the Compression Blast ability. Don't hesitate with your shots.
Degreaser
- The Degreaser is deadly with the Axtinguisher. Try to avoid areas where the Pyro can corner you with the airblast.
Shotgun
Flare Gun
Fire Axe
Axtinguisher
- If you are not on fire, the Axtinguisher is easy to overcome in a melee fight due to reduced damage against non-burning enemies.
- However, if you are on fire, stay away from Pyros with this weapon.
Homewrecker
- The Homewrecker does decreased damage to players, making it less effective as a melee weapon.
Powerjack
Back Scratcher
The Gas Jockey's Gear
- The Pyro has 10% bullet vulnerability using this set. Use the Pistol to harass him from range.
