Team Fortress Classic Hints
How can I use my flamethrower effectively?
1 of 5: The flamethrower is the strongest weapon the pyro has. Even though the flame-grenade rocket launcher may seem like a better choice, the flamethrower really is the more versatile of the two. You want to know some reasons why? If so, read ahead.
2 of 5: To begin with, the rocket launcher variant that the pyro carries shoots very slow rockets. They do little damage to enemies and really do not engulf an entire area with flames. About all it is good for is for long distance fire exchange.
3 of 5: The flamethrower on the other hand is the better weapon. You can target multiple enemies at one time with it and the flames can spread from enemy to enemy.
4 of 5: The flames coming from a flamethrower can also shoot through the walls, making it ideal for injuring and confusing enemies from a remote area (i.e., shooting through the roof at snipers, as mentioned in the TFC Manual).
5 of 5: Use the flamethrower to more or less confuse enemies. They become blinded by the flames and thus cannot function until the flames subside.
