The Demoman is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. His expertise is demolitions and explosive weapons. While his weapons are often not the most accurate, they are efficient at killing and highly destructive. He has average armor which can help absorb a several hits, but his survivability is not as high as some of the heavier classes.

His two explosive weapons, the Grenade and Pipebomb Launcher, serve different roles; the Grenade Launcher is useful for fights with enemies in close quarters, while the Pipe bomb is a great weapon for setting traps on important objects.

The Demoman is also capable of setting Detpacks that can open (and sometimes close) alternative paths on a map.

Basic Strategy

  • Learn to pipebomb jump.
  • Reload regularly.
  • Clear rooms with your grenades.
  • The Grenade Launcher is great for taking out Sentry Guns. Try to bounce the grenades against a wall, to avoid taking damage from the Sentry Gun.

Abilities:

  • Place explosive charges called detpacks that can be placed down with a timer such as 5, 20 or 50 seconds.
  • Clear obstacles/blast open entrances.
