The Pyro is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He possesses fairly high health and medium armor. He moves at a medium speed, and his weapons are designed to incite confusion and deal damage over time.

Basic Strategy

• Your Incendiary Cannon is your incendiary Rocket Launcher. Its heat can travel through walls. If you can't deal direct hits, use splash damage in a similar fashion to a Soldier's Rocket Launcher. Note that the blast radius is much larger than the Rocket Launcher and sets enemies on fire.

• Your Flamethrower Your standard Flamethrower. It is to be used at close-mid range.

• By hitting your enemies with your different flame weapons, you can multiply the afterburn damage. A common strategy is to bombard the enemy team from long range with the Incendiary Cannon, and to then burn them again with the Flamethrower and Napalm Grenades.

• The Flamethrower's flame particles do not inflict much damage; burn the enemy with other flame weapons after you have set them ablaze in order to inflict maximum damage.

• Try to play both offensively and defensively depending upon the situation.

• Napalm Grenades are a great area denial tool. They are also great at disrupting enemies vision and aim.

• Use all of your fire-based weapons to cause confusion among members of the other team.

• Use your Single-Barrel Shotgun as a last resort or at really long range. It should seldom be used, if at all.
