Team Fortress Classic Hints

My weapons aren't injuring anyone!

  • 1 of 3: The pyro really is not a strong character, in my opinion.  He has some interesting weapons effects-wise but he does not usually make for a good choice of player.
  • 2 of 3: For long distance fights, use the fire-grenade launcher.  This will have a similar concussion as a rocket, yet it will enflame the victim.  Otherwise use the flamethrower.
  • 3 of 3: For the most part, the pyro's weapons are weak and only do their damage by engulfing the enemy in flames.  The flames however, tend to blind the enemy as he tries to move and attack.  The flames work very well in confusing enemy players.  Using the flamethrower effectively is essential to understanding how to play the pyro well.
