A quick tip while using the phlog, you can detonator jump from a high surface and cancel the taunt on opponent's heads, giving you around two extra seconds of crits while being completely invulnerable. It doesn't always work, but when it does its a clean sweep.

Nah, the Degreaser is very very good with the Detonator. You can switch to and from the Detonator about 100% faster combined. It allows for even more time actually killing your enemies rather than dealing with the switch speed. edit: Use the Backscratcher with the Deto. The extra healing negates the self-damage over time.

@@wasdkug_tr True. I mean degreaser does have less damage but its kinda negligable. The only thing that actually harms it is the increased airblast cost.

probably because unlike the scorch shot short hop, you eat a lot of self-damage with det jumping good if you’re chasing a weak/unaware target, but if you hop into the enemy team accidentally, you probably just die. you can’t hop away easily either, especially if you swapped to a non-degreaser flamethrower so they will already hit you a few times before you swap back really hope scorch shot turns into an incendiary grenade with a cooldown that actually scorches the ground, instead of being similar to the detonator

Yes, that is my main gripe about the video as well. In reality, jumping into the enemy team with no more than 135 health as pyro is more often than not a suicide play. If you're playing flank pyro, the jetpack is quite better for the fall damage negate and the longer jump, and it's not like you're gonna be using the deto for its long ranged damage anyway.

I was hooked on the detonator for a year straight, I love it's movement. As far as loadouts go, I actually don't think the powerjack is the best pair for the detonator. Due to the quick and fluid movement you can get from the detonator, the axtinguisher is an amazing pick, and it's not too difficult to quickly get axtinguisher crits and remove the opponent from this plane of existence. The only comparable secondary in terms of the dopamine rush you can get is the flare gun for its insane crit damage and combo potential.

it's not really the increased self damage that makes the detonator more mobile, it's the fact that the scorch shot has a self knockback penalty. the increased self damage might have some effect, but in general the detonator isn't stronger, it's just that the scorch shot is weaker.

its worth mentioning that this is also IMO the most useful Pybro, as often need to leave the engineer's side to chase spies, airblast uber pushes back, etc. and need to get back to engie's nest quickly to reflect rockets or deal with spies. Its also really good for temporarily dealing with snipers, as detonator can be used to light snipers on fire from long ranges, making it really annoying for snipers to aim with aimpunch from afterburn.

One other melee I recommend for if you don't have a medic and want to do a lot of the funny jumping is the Back Scratcher. More HP from health kits means you can jump more often, and you actually have the mobility to get into range of your more powerful melee hit, and of course random crits are a thing

I always use the Mann Melter with Dragon's Fury. The near hitscan flares give you an easy and generous afterburn window for Dragon's "crits", the mass extinguish is great to cover your slow air blast, the crits help against pyros who can airblast your primary's projectile, you don't feel like a menace to society for using the Scorch Shot, and the infinite ammo paired with Dragon's Fury's rather generous ammo count allows a more versatile play style, where you can be more aggressive or hold positions better, and it helps with being a pybro so you don't accidentally yoink the Engie's ammo after shooting one flare.

Honestly, I'm curious how viable a pyro equivalent to the demo or soldier's jumper weapons would be. Like "The Jump Shot", or "The Fire Jumper". It'd be interesting to see and be very entertaining I imagine, a high risk, high skill playstyle which increases pyro's ability to flank, at the expense of their secondary, range options, and combos. Funny to think of a flying pyro shark, and make people feel like dragons.

I have been playing this game since the tough break update with almost 3000 hours and i just now figured out you can detonate the detonator flares…

I am sick of these types of videos. What is the point of showing gameplay clips where you are always pocketed by a med. Anything works if you get pocketed. Detonator jumping without a medic will almost always end you back in the respawn room. Big Joey in his Heavy guide is always pocketed 24/7 by a medic. What is the point? A regular solo player will get destroyed if he does the same.

I remember seeing one pyro with a detonator and immediately being in love with the thought of rocket jumping as a shitty wm1 phlogger. Haven't gotten the chance to yet as I've been taken up by the beautiful shitshow that is beggar's bazooka, but I'm 100% using it the next time I play pyro

Detonator works surprisingly well with the phlog, easier hitting some enemies and jumping with a crit phlog is deadly.

I remember in 2011, before the scorch shot existed, and I don't really remember me or others using the detonator very much back then either.

Backburner, Detonator, and Backscratcher create an amazing flank monster style it's so fun you should play with it.

The detonator is such a great alternate flare gun, your enemies will never know more fear than a pyro flying through the air at 246km/h and burning their asses to a crisp.

The detonator combos really well with the Phlog since you can light tons of people on fire from a distance, and rack up afterburn damage for the charge.

One more simple tip to increase the jump force of your detonator jumps is to simply walk toward the direction of your viewmodel. I word it that way because I am left handed and use left handed viewmodels, so I walk left, while the majority of players would need to walk right. Doing this allows you to walk toward the projectile you are firing since it fires slightly off center.

i think the best thing about the detonator is that you can detonate it instantly to the side so its just such a horizontal and effiecent movement tool even if it doesnt have the raw knockback of the rocket/stickybomb launchers

I'm absolutely laughing at the slow reaction time of the demo at 13:18. you could see the wheels in his brain spinning, trying to figure out if he should perhaps move out of your flamethrower flame lol. unfortunately, he died before he could finish thinking

the detonator is also almost mandatory for highlander pyro, mostly since it's the most consistent option for a secondary that shuts down snipers (since both the scorch shot and the darwin's danger shield are banned in every league). i have no idea how often det jumps are used in highlander, since my only real experience with it is in lobbies.

I believe the increase in dragon's fury pyros paired with the detonator is due to Zesty Jesus' recent-ish video on it, as well as the recent fixes on the weapon. And yes, it is very fun combo. A distinctfully different and balanced pyro playstyle is more than welcome.

I like using stock flamethrower and panic attack because you become a strange hybrid between pyro and scout, and panic attack can very quickly shoot things

Special mention for the Back Scratcher. The downside is pretty negligible since Medic’s will stay on the front line with the Heavies and Soldiers, instead of flanking with you. So getting both extra damage, and extra health from Med-Kits from the Back Scratcher is a contender, maybe even better than the Powerjacks extra speed.

As a flare gun enthusiast myself, I might have to give this a go, I always thought it was kinda bad and outclassed by my main flare gun, but I take that back, this video has opened up a whole new world of tomfoolery for me.
