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

Basic Strategy

• Your Incendiary Cannon is your most useful weapon. Try to hit enemies directly to deal more damage.

• Your Flamethrower is not nearly as effective as your other weapons. Use it only as a last resort or as humiliation.

• 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.

• Although, unlike in Team Fortress 2, the individual flame particles do not inflict much damage. Burn the enemy with other flame weapons after you have set them ablaze with the Flamethrower.

• Try to play both offense and defense depending on the situation.

• Make effective use of your Napalm Grenades.

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

• Use your Single-Barrel Shotgun at range or if you already ignited the enemy with your flame weaponry.
