I always use the regular flamethrower. The versatility of the air-blast is amazing. It can be offensive, defensive, or even supportive!

^ Assist kill. 2v1...

And I've won against shotgun pyro's when I have flare gun. Not difficult.

I always forget to mention that killing spies to a pyro is like Americans and killin' Nazi's. We love it and hate to stop. And when we fail to kill a Nazi we yell at them and tell them they have a small penis.

lolz, yes I love killing me some Nazis! I mean spies! Okay, well time to get off of work. sleepy time!

Your air-blast is the most powerful tool in your arsenal, followed by the flare gun and the axtinguisher. You can seperate ubercharges with it, decimate the other team when they push with a kritz'd soldier, etc. Try to learn where ammo boxes and crates spawn so you can keep your flamethrower topped off. 25 ammo a blast adds up very quickly.
The axtinguisher is a one hit kill against every class but heavy and soldier. Learn to use it and then abuse it.
The flare gun is a good tool to catch runners and cause damage spikes. Don't underestimate the mini crits it does against targets on fire.

Also, watch Bloodsire's Meet the Proro if you're looking for inspiration... It's a really good video.

Yeap yeap, especially on TTP's servers. But there are some out there that you can do exactly what that guy was doing and get tons of points.

Well, I find it hard to be blown up on ttp servers as pyro. Prolly because I am in respawn limbo for 30 years


If you want to get good with the grenade launcher, equip the charge & targe so that your only option is your launcher. Basically it's self forced practice with the added bonus of damage resistance.
