 | “Sun Tzu's got nothing on us!” This article is a Community strategy stub. As such, it is not complete. You can help the Team Fortress Wiki Community Strategy Project by expanding it. Notes: Contribute Player Destruction strategy. Much of the content of Community Watergate strategy should be moved here, since it is generic to the game mode (e.g., Team Leader commentary). Statements specific to the Watergate map should be left there (e.g., rooftop bar, sewer, cellars, etc.). |
This article is about Community Player Destruction strategy.

- The respective buffs given by banners such as the Buff Banner, Battalion's Backup or the Concheror can help your team greatly.
- Your high health makes you a good choice for a team leader.
Pyro

Heavy

Coordinate with faster classes like Scout by killing a lot of enemies and having the Scout pick up the scoring pickups.
- If your team's Scout is dead, then your high health pool will allow you to save the scoring pickup long enough for your Scout to respawn. Once they respawn, you should drop the scoring pickup (Default key: L) and allow the Scout to take it.
Engineer
- The Engineer's ability to place Sentry Guns varies in power depending on the map you play on. Be careful where you place it as it can attract more attention to you, especially if you are the team leader.
- However, dropping your Player Destruction Pickups are not recommended, as it's safer to lead more players to your sentry for more Player Destruction Pickups.
Medic
- The Medic's relatively low health, lack of mobility options and poor weaponry make him a poor choice for team leader, as it allows the enemy team to know your location at all times increasing the risk of being attacked. Instead, give pickups (Default key: L) to a trusted player.

- Use the enemy team leader's outline to line up a shot before they come out of cover.

- Use dropped pickups as bait for the other team by lining up a charged shot and waiting for an enemy who tries to take it. Consider using the Machina with a fully charged shot to eliminate enemies hiding behind the team leader.
- Your low health, mobility, and subpar close range weapons make you a terrible team leader. Instead, give your points (Default key: L) to a trusted Player.
Spy
- Spy does not benefit from the team leader buff if he has the most souls, so you don't have to worry about having your location announced.
- Pick off enemies who are alone or low on health with your weapon of choice. Do not attack the team leader unless you are certain that you can take them out.
