With pyro, it has to be a multitude of the weapons. The flamethrower by itself will usually not result in a kill. Throwing a few napalm grenades, hit them with a rocket and then flame them will be a pretty quick death. I have seen my son take down a full health HW one on one, by doing the above. Bakuryu can give you some pointers also. He has it down pretty well. If your looking for just flamethrower kills, it probably won't happen, unless you use other parts of your arsenal before pulling the flamethrower out. they do irritate though and that is a pain for the opposing team on its own. |

I've found that to play pyro you need a decent ping... you can't get your flames on them with a high ping. It's always a good idea to hit with rocket, then flame...
But, EE is right... the best way is to watch BigCaulk... he'll show you how to pwn people as a pyro!

Hey Gibs, good points. I usually throw down a napalm and hide behind a corner, wait for some grunts, and come out with my flamethrower. Every time i see a HW i prime a nade. It's almost impossible to take them down with only the thrower, tho i have done it before. The good hw's that play need a nade or two. Also remember to circle strafe, and strafe side to side. Crouch and shoot into their face-most don't know where it's coming from then. Use the rockets when you're far enough away to not be hurt by the damage, remember, they have a HUGE blast area. Last tip? take a look at how far your flames reach- i never noticed it until i started playing, but they go way far out. It takes a long time to run out of ammo, so as soon as you see an enemy, start flaming!

HELL YES it is! i've done it SO many times! Snipers are WAY easy to kill with pyro! they just stand there trying to get a shot, all you have to do is strafe side to side and they're gone. It's not cheating nuk, the flamethrower is a lot more powerful than most people think

You can actually take down a sniper in less then that if they sitin a corner I love watching snipers fall to my flames as they try to shoot me. If you're a sniper, be smart and run away
As for HW's. I can take them down with just the flame thrower if their stupid enough to let me. But yes circle strafe and try to be where you think they aren't going to look. Funniest thing I ever did was set a pack camping Heavy on fire and then I leaped on to his head since he was crounching. I flamed him from the top and he died without ever knowing where I was. |

I saw that episode Pacifist. Instead of helping you out, I just watched and laughed. That was the pack between 2 and 3 right?
