[TF2] Weapon Stereotypes! Episode 4: The Pyro

Ever seen a person’s weapon and assumed something about how they play? Well, you’re not alone. In fact, most weapons in TF2 hold a certain stereotype. This series of videos aims to go over some of the most well-known weapon stereotypes in TF2.
Please keep in mind that I’m not saying that anyone who uses a certain weapon is a certain type of person. These videos are for fun. Sorry if I hurt your feelings or something.
This episode we’ll be talking about the pyro. The class nobody really knows what to do with, and also the one we’re still waiting on an update for.

[@lucinavonnolaran8728]

Honestly, the jetpack (Thermal Thruster) is actually pretty good for mobility purposes. You can get in and out of situations quickly (assuming that you have the thrust to spare), as well as surprise attack someone or a group of people by suddenly being directly where they are. In regards to the back burner, this can be quite handy, assuming that you get behind them in the first place, since that's a lot of death and mayhem wrapped up in a single blanket.

[@SwiftBlitz.]

someone abused the hell out of it and jumped behind enemy lines with the backburner

[@mariustan9275]

It is a flanking tool.

[@samuel010898]

You can also use it to cancel the phlog taunt by landing on people’s heads

[@BlazingRoman]

Literally the only reason I crafted the Volcano Fragment was because 1: I thought it looked cool 2: It cosmetically fits very well with the demon Pyro helloween cosmetics Was it worth it? I mean, it looks cool to be a demon with a hellish axe so yeah i thin it was worth it

[@timmythepinky9137]

Incredibly based

[@StonewallTitlow]

I love this weapon since it fits in perfectly with Pyro.

[@Taltharius]

Fun fact: The Neon Annihilator also deals crits to players soaked in Jarate and/or Mad Milk; it counts them as 'wet' for the duration of their effect.

[@maxlongpre4680]

It can also remove sappers from sentries but everyone is all about the homewrecker

[@Taltharius]

The Neon Annihilator takes 2 hits to remove a Sapper, while the Homewrecker only takes 1 hit to remove a Sapper. Personally though, I tend to find that the Neon Annihilator is a more flexible choice of a melee weapon. ...And it has a kickass bass guitar sound for its melee taunt. Hard to beat that. Edit: Another fun fact: Additionally, after touching a water source, a player is still considered 'wet' for another 5 seconds after they stop touching it, so merely touching water is extremely hazardous, if an enemy Neon Annihilator Pyro happens to be running around.

[@phamtanthinh3636]

And somehow not with the gas passer

[@Taltharius]

That's probably an intentional 'balance check'. Because really, if the Gas Passer allowed the Neon Annihilator to crit, that would probably cause an equivalent to the old Axtinguisher meta, all over again.

[@xionic1194]

I once stood in the same place with the neon annihilator and got a 17 killstreak because people kept backing into me.

[@elwinvanhuissteden7729]

@@mrskope 2... so same as an engineer's wrench. But it's the possibility to remove sappers that counts, and the neon annihilator is the only weapon that does this for the pyro without being utterly useless otherwise. Seriously, it's better for an engineer if a pybro has this too. I can't count the amount of times a spy I set on fire thought he was clever by jumping into the water. Instand regret is the result.

[@elwinvanhuissteden7729]

@@mrskope You're not missing out on much. Although being able to remove the sapper in 1 hit is a great feat for the homewrecker, and definatly makes it worth it on a map without water over the neon annihilator... On maps with water, the NA easily trumps the HW. I've had a strange NA and a strange HW for quite some time now... but the HW still has 0 kills, een though I have it equipped on at least half the maps. Meanwhile, the NA has around 300 kills. And yes, I've also removed sappers with it.

Hot hand: this guy is a fish scout playing as Pyro for fun, that or he still hates dead ringer spies with a burning passion even after the nerf Gas passer: there’s three types of G passer pyros, the new player who doesn’t realize is one of the worse unlocks, the guy who doesn’t realize that the gas doesn’t count as a liquid and tries to pull off the jarate bushwhaka combo only to die immediately, or the guy who loves MvM and saw a guy with an orange dapper topper pop off with it. Thermal thruster: this guy has the back-burner or phlog equipped 110% of the time and tries way to hard to flank the enemy if all the subtly of a tank. If they somehow do manage to get behind your team, either turn around and blast them, or pray to god that the back-burner won’t take the 10% chance of actually critting from behind. Dragon’s fury: I haven’t seen enough gameplay with this at all through KZbin, so I’m guessing this guy is a new player, or an MvM lover.

[@Mike-rl6bs]

Whenever I am Pyro, honestly, while I do use the Homewrecker, I rarely actually take of sappers with it. Both the Engineer and Pyro can remove sappers pretty effectively, but the Pyro is unquestionably better at fighting Spies than the Engineer. So, when there's a Spy to kill and a building to save, if the Engie is alive and able to save his building, I can and will ignore the sapper. After all, if one of the two of us doesn't kill that Spy, he can and will win the war over sapping the building.

Ok thats it Dragons Fury- This guy wants to be Soldier Either the Soldier class is full and they use the Dragons Fury to technically be a Rocket Launcher or he just wants to beat pyros at thier own game since the Dragons Fury does the same damage, even to Pyros, they mostly use this with Pyros Jungle Inferno Loadout, Gas Passer- People who uses it knows how its so good in MVM but in casual well? I guess they want to do damage to Pyros and see how they like Afterburn? Or they just use it like the mad milk and jarate and find that Spy, Thermal Thruster- Either They are a Pyro Trolldier or they are just using it to drop down and ambush people from the sky, Either that or they are just trying to get a taunt kill, Hot Hand- Ok these people are definitely meming, Smurfin and/or Pyro Trolldier, nearly nobody uses this seriously, or they use this for the Taunt Kill with the hot hand, when they have the Scorch Shot equipped and not literally any other Secondaries,

As a player of TF2, I shall do what sound Smith has not. Ima do the stereotype for the jet pack which is . . . Flyro. A guy that wants to be mobile as pyro, but doesn’t know how to flare jump, or they want to go places that flares can’t get you. Or they just wanna ram into someone with a jetpack for (as far as I know) no damage, but to annoy

Dragons Fury: You wanted to play pyro but want to avoid the whole brainless w+m1er stereotype so you use this to prove you're skilled. Thermal Thruster: You enjoy increased movement options and crazy flanking, but don't wanna deal with the detonator's self-damage. Also way too obsessed with fart jokes Gas Passer: Heard this weapon was broken in MVM and thought you could get the same result in casual. Hot Hand: Memelord. Will either name it something slap related or "Who's your daddy"

[@skelskeleton]

It really depends on how you use it. You cant m1 m2 (although you should rarely insta det anyways, you typically leave bombs out if they wont hurt). Basically use the faster firing speed to quickly make a no mann land and poke at them with grenades.

[@dashieldmasta177]

This. Scot Res is better than stock on several maps due to being able to set up traps only slightly slower at the upside of having nasty pockets of death tucked away in corners and being able to detonate a single carpet multiple times if placed correctly. It also is a good weapon for learning demos, as it incentivizes improving pipe aim due to no M1+M2. It really is a trapper's weapon that rewards thinking two steps ahead.

[@Haze33E]

Scottish Resistance is pretty dependent on having a good team. If you're getting rolled the increased detonation time can fuck you over hard. Enemies will keep coming faster then you can replace your traps. But if you have a good team you can shut down chokes pretty hard. There's two methods to using it either place multiple traps or create a blanket covering a large area. When you make a blanket enemies tend to spend too much time killing the stickies or going around them to pay attention to your team.

[@cooldakota9695]

Scottish Resistance Demomen plan out every fucking route you will ever take and know the map like the back of their hands. And they usually have a good rename for it. Mine is "Killer Queen" "Killer Queen has already touched that control point"

[@jerky119]

to be fair, the stock flamethrower is probably pyro's all-around best option. yes, the degreaser makes pyro pretty strong but since most pyro players are w+m1/m2 then that makes stock the best

I added my stereotype for new items. •dragon's fury: either it's a new player that juat got it, running to enemy team holding the m1 and die right away looking dumb or it's that one person that knows actually how to use it and aim good and shreds through enemy also bullies engineer building and especially demoknight. •gas passer: outside of contracts just don't, touch grass. •jetpack: new player that just dies every single time by that sniper on 2fort balcony or someone that use it to quickly get to battle front/get health pack or teleport behind the enemies. •hot hand 😳: I very rarely see anyone use it and that person just doing the funny, not taking the game seriously at all.

[@Alabenson]

Dragon's Fury: There are basically two stereotypes here. The first is the guy who just unlocked it and doesn't really understand how it works. He can't land his shots because if he could aim he wouldn't be playing Pryo, and he'll probably switch back to the pholg after a few deaths. The second is the guy who fully understands the mechanics of the weapon, and these guys can be terrifying. Thermal Thruster: This guy loves harassing snipers. You really only see this on 2Fort and occasionally Hightower, where they're going to be rocketing across the map to kill that one sniper camping their team's battlements. Gas Passer: This guy plays MVM and forgot to change his loadout. Hot Hand: This guy is memeing. That's it.
