So, gamer pyro, we're gonna teach you the basics of the pyro!

First, his stats!

The pyro has 175 hp, and will be overhealed to 260 hp.

The pyro is one of the faster classes, so let me go through his speed.

Primary Weapons



This is in my opinion, a pretty good flamethrower, it has alot of airblasts, and a decent DPS.
The stock flamethrower is really good with airblasting alot.


This is the combo flamethrower, it uses 5 more fuel to airblast, making you only airblast 8 times, instead of the stock's 10. Let me go through the stats.

+30% faster switch rate
+60% faster switch to flamethrower rate
-66% burning damage, after setting someone aflame.
-25% to enemies which are on fire.




The backburner is one of those weapons which are bad when used badly, but very effective when used effectively.

Critical damage to players who turn back to your flames.
No random critical hits.
+200% more airblast spend. ( it makes it to go to 50, instead of 20. )


This is a reskin of the stock, but it has a taunt kill! ( and it sends you to pyroland. )



The devil's own W+M1 weapon.

Any added damage will add to a bar meter named ' Mmph ', which when activated with taunting with the phlog, will cause you to crit for a few seconds.


This is the newest pyro's toy, this is a single fire flamethrower.

300% damage to burning enemies.
Bonus damage against a burning target requires the fireball's center to make contact with the target's hitbox
+50% repressurization rate on hit.
-50% reprussurization rate on Alt-Fire.
No random critical hits.

Secondary Weapons







This is the stock secondary for the pyro, it fires 6 pellets, each doing from 1-15 damage, depending on range.



The flaregun does 30 damage per shot, and is single fire.

This weapon will reload automatically when not active.
Guarantees Critical damage on burning targets.
Can be fired into water to damage enemies (no afterburn will be applied).


The more ' mobile ' flare gun, which you can use to get to places a normal pyro wouldn't.

Alt-fire: detonates flare in flight, creating a small explosion which ignites nearby players, but does less damage than a normal hit. The knockback can be used to flare jump.
Flares detonate on impact, with a greatly reduced explosion radius.
On detonation flare destroys enemy sticky bombs.
This weapon will reload automatically when not active.
Guarantees Mini-Crit damage on burning targets, regardless of distance.
Can be fired into water to damage enemies (no afterburn will be applied).
50% explosion self-damage vulnerability on user.
25% damage penalty




It used to be a good combo weapon, but it got nerfed to the ground. I didn't use it alot tbh.

20% faster weapon switch-to speed.
15% faster weapon switch-from speed.
Mini-crits targets that are blast jumping, knocked back, launched by a Thermal Thruster stomp, or using the grapple hook.

Mini-crits only take affect within 5 seconds of deploying this weapon.
Has 34% smaller clip size.




This is the ' I can't aim flares, so I use this as a weapon to annoy everyone. ', I really used it alot, for some reason.

This weapon will reload automatically when not active.
Flare knocks back target on hit and ignites enemy in a small radius.
Guarantees Mini-Crit damage and increased knockback on burning targets.
Flare can be used to destroy stickybombs.
Flare falls to the ground after directly hitting an enemy, lying there for a little while, potentially igniting those who touch it.
-35% damage penalty.
-35% self damage force penalty.





This weapon is decent if you want to still extinquish people while using the phlog.

No extra damage on burning targets.
Alt-fire: extinguishes teammates. Doing so gives 1 guaranteed crit per teammate extinguished (can hold up to 35).
This weapon will reload automatically when not active.
Extinguishing teammates will heal you +20 HP
Does not require ammo.
+50% projectile speed.
Does not get random Critical hits.





This is one of the toys pyro had in the newest update, but it's a jetpack.

This is a can of gasoline, yeah, it has a pretty good upgrade on MvM too.

Enemies covered in gas ignite into afterburn if they take damage (even enemy Pyros!).
Gas meter builds with damage done and/or time.
Spawning and resupply do not affect the Gas meter.

This weapon is the most effective in medieval.

The Third Degree is basically, a straight upgrade. It has no DOWNSIDES whatsover.

Using the Third Degree, you can damage medics who heal the target you just hit, or backwards!




' ZA HANDO!? '

Gain a speed boost when you hit an enemy player.
-20% damage penalty.
Broadcasts every successful hit on an enemy player over the death-notice area.
Kills are labelled as "SLAP-KILL" in the death-notice area.





This is the Pyro Shark weapon, really popular in their community. Oh, and you can destroy sappers with it like the homewrecker or maul.

100% critical hit vs wet players.
Able to remove Electro Sappers (in two hits).
-20% damage penalty vs. players.
No random critical hits.



we're done with weapons, now.

Pyro can airblast with his flamethrower, by clicking the right button on your mouse, with (almost) any flamethrower!


The airblast sends enemies flying away from you, even when they're ubered. ( exception, quick-fix. )
Extinquishes friendly teammates of fire,
Reflects projectiles,

If you want me to go more in depth, go check out my airblastguide!

In this segment, we're gonna go over strategies the pyro's use to play Team Fortress 2!




Pybro's are the friends of engineers, they will be mostly equipping the stock flamethrower, scorch shot, and homewrecker. Pybro's can destroy enemy spies sapper, helping their engineer if they're not there, or dead. Pybro's can reflect projectiles of enemy soldiers/demomans, by airblasting them away.






Pyro sharks wander in any area with water, with their neon anhinilator, this is a good strategy, because if a player is wet, the neon anhinilator will crit, dealing 156 damage. There are mostly 1-3 of them in one area.



This is the ' New pyro ', with the stock, or with the phlog, is a forced w+m1.

So guys, you made it to the end, congratulations, now you're (probably) a tf2 pyro main!


It took me a decent time to make this guide, so I hope you like it! ^.^
