| “ | I fear no man. But that... thing... It scares me.
— The Heavy on the Pyro, Meet the Pyro
|
” |
The Pyro is a pyromaniac class of indeterminate origin with a muffled voice and a burning passion for all things fire-related. As shown in Meet the Pyro, the Pyro may be delusional, visualizing themself 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 Flame Thrower's short range, the Pyro is weaker at longer ranges and relies heavily on ambushing and taking alternate routes to catch opponents off-guard.
Due to the Flame Thrower's limited range and the slow firing speed of their flare guns, the Pyro is fairly weak at mid-to-long range. The Flame Thrower's compression blast, can reflect enemy projectiles, extinguish burning teammates, and forcibly reposition enemies, even those who are invulnerable to damage.
Because enemies hit by fire visibly burst into flames, the Pyro is the best class for catching Spies, as briefly bathing an area or suspicious teammates in fire can instantly nullify an enemy Spy's cloak and disguise. Additionally, they can use the Homewrecker, the Neon Annihilator, or the Maul to protect a friendly Engineer's buildings from an enemy Spy's Sapper if the Engineer himself is not present.
While the Pyro does not have many mobility options by default, the Thermal Thruster can be used to launch the Pyro into the air and onto places normally inaccessible to the Pyro. Additionally, the Detonator and the Scorch Shot can be used to make much smaller flare jumps. A skilled Pyro may even use an airblasted enemy projectile for mobility, delivering swift immolation to enemies who may have believed they were outside of the Pyro's range.
They wear an asbestos-lined suit that nullifies the afterburn of other Pyros and all flame-related weaponry (except for the Dragon's Fury and Gas Passer), although it does not provide any resistance to direct fire damage. The three incendiary grenades that they carry are purely cosmetic and cannot be used.
The Pyro is voiced by Dennis Bateman.

Basic strategy
- Ambush enemies to catch them in the short range of your Flame Thrower. Use corners to your advantage; however, be sure that the nozzle of the Flame Thrower 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 Flame Thrower chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen ammo to refill your supply.
- You can often set enemies on fire and retreat, leaving them to die from the afterburn.
Weapons
Note: Weapon damage is approximate and listed at base value. See individual weapon pages for additional figures.
All flamethrowers and flare guns deal no damage when fired underwater and instead produce harmless bubbles. The aforementioned weapons will only 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 blows a stream of bubbles as a rainbow forms above, complete with a sparkling Balloonicorn in the center of the rainbow. 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 an inferno. |

Main article: Gas Blast
The Pyro takes out a match and a match box, striking the match against the match box and reaching between their legs to place the match in front of the rear area, and letting loose a magnificent burst of flame while watching over their shoulder.

Bugs
- Sometimes, if the Pyro dies while using the Flame Thrower, flames are left behind. The flames do not damage players and go away after a few seconds.
- Occasionally, after using the Flame Thrower and quickly switching weapons, flame particles appear to shoot out of the Flame Thrower. These flames do not damage players and do not consume ammo.
- The swing animation (in third-person) for the Pyro used for all class melee weapons is delayed, causing the melee hit to register before the animation is actually over.
