This one was made first, and thus should be the thread that lives

Boycott fempyro threads

post here

i agree
also its not faggy

rate my pyro

gay

So, are you making anything for Arms Race III, /tf2g/?

(Gay)

is this the mossy thread?

Real thread

Yea, of course.

stop shilling your thread that was made later holy fuck, go away

is this a jojo reference?

No, it's clearly demoman's arms from the TF2 anime.

fuck fem pyro

is this a jojo reference?

cuck me

TF2 anime

artstyle coming through

ded

What's the best Pyro loadout for pubs?

Degreaser
Reserve shooter/shotgun
Powerjack

Stock + Powerjack usually.

That's basically all you need. You can possibly switch the shotgun out for the reserve shooter if you'd like. However, personally, I don't use it because I'd rather have the extra shots than damage.

Soldier

grenade launcher
stickybomb launcher
bottle

backburner
detonator
powerjack
detonator jump into an unexpected place and instakill people by backstabbing them with fire. powerjack helps with mobility and by being the best melee choice for pyro.

reminder pyro is gordon freeman. he went back in time to the 60s to enlist in vietnam to stop the combine, but the timelock malfunctioned and sent him back further than expected. his HEV suit was damaged in the blast so he put on a nearby asbestos suit instead. the suit was filled with laughing gas which drove him mad and he accidentally enlisted in the gravel wars. the mercs were ironically enough sent to vietnam to fight over australium rice.

this is 100% canon and the new pyro / jungle update will also be a co-announcement for half life 3.

reminder that if you cant destroy a sentry with stickybombs and have to rely on pills that tumble around randomly you are a bad player and should get good asap

>he cant hit stationary targets with grenades

i have a good apsap does that count

>retarded fempyro
Hahaha no

What about the Phlog together with the Scorch?

>scorch
literally a worse detonator
>phlog
worse backburner, crutch for pyros who can't F L A N K

Defensively go for Stock, Scorch Shot and Homewrecker
For deep fragging use Degreaser, Stock/Flare and Axtinguisher

>Have steam bux

give soldier 20% sentry resistance
give pyro 20% fire resistance
give demoman 20% explosive resistance
give heavy 20% bullet resistance

Is this some kind of trenchgun?

If it's some kind of rifle, then shouldn't it be a sniper secondary?

give engineer a chance to recover metal on being hit with bullets

How do I play Pyro?

>a chance
>more rng bullshit
no

Because engineer needs more ways to be completely annoying

engineer does need a viable pistol sidegrade though
speaking of which why is the pistol, the most vanilla stock weapon, has so littel variations of it
why does the rocket launcher get like 15

Make engineer have a sentry that heals if you shoot it with anything that contains metal.

Sounds unnecessary. He already has a dispenser, as well as ammo on the ground. Why should be have some gimmick that gives him back metal?

Agreed. I personally use pistol because it's good to have a sidearm when you want to track down some stragglers.
Scout has various other pistols meant for damage and utility, but engie's secondaries aren't pistols. They are more like tools used for utility purposes. It's kinda odd.

I would personally love to see this added;

>sounds unneccesary
wow just like the entire class

Sorry you couldn't push last, pardner.

If there was no lag Pyro would be massively OP.

Why do people keep saying that it's OP?

How?

Another WIP of the remake of TFC's Shutdown2. Will add more detail to the geometry later, right now just working on making sure the main structures look nice. Also made the one door in the front into two, partially for aesthetic purposes, and also ease of access.

Still thinj you shoulsve went for like a "female in a dress so they didnt give you silicone valley tiddies" look but i think theyre fixing it right?

*stops your forward movement*
*meatshots you and minicrits you before you had a chance to airstrafe away*
pssshhh, notin' personal, know your gettin'g the knotte

Looking good dude, keep up the grwat work.

>get shot once
>lose maybe 110hp
>fly backwards to safety where pyro can't do shit
>with stock you stay in place so you get meatshot twice
That thing being OP is a reddit meme

>fly backwards
Oh yeah, forgot every character could magically fly away, stupid me.

Post real threats

Hey, last thread peoole were postong screen shots other people had taken of them and i was wondering if you could check if like randoms screen shorted you. I know you can go into your activity feed and see why your friends screen shot but is it possible to see of you appears in other people's feeds that aren't your friends.

Every time i've had the misfortune of being on the recieving end of this thing, I'm indoors and knocked into a corner.

Using this thing outdoors where enemies can be knocked back is an open invitation to everyone to fuck your face because you're a goddamn retard holy shit you had one job and that was to corner someone and you fucked it up

Yes. It shows up regardless if the person who took a screenshot of you is your friend or not.

>skial
Yeah that's right

...

>get airblasted by pyro who is under me and has no direct sightline
>movement still gets killed
riiiiiiiiiiight

>mfw
I had to personally congratulate that scout, he had the dedication for that kill

You're pushing last and this heavy slaps your medic's ass.
What do you do?

It manages to be pretty much a direct upgrade to the shotgun.

Free minicrits for limiting someone's movement and the only downside is 2 less shots?

Holy fucking christ what.

A meatshot minicrit with that thing has enormous knockback

Only situation where it's slightly better than stock.
Too bad it doesn't change the number of shots required to kill most classes, two meatshots + initial flaming + afterburn will kill soldiers and demo/pyro whether you are using one or the other.
It only changes whether you 1shot or 2shot a medic, but if a pyro is in airblast range of a medic, the medic should be fucking dead anyway

What's the most fun loadout right now?

And this would apply for anybody in the game taking a screenshot of you? It would show up in your feed?

Yes. It'll show up.

jarate + bushwhacka only sniper
rocket jumper + market gardner OR equalizer
ambassador + invisiwatch
eureka effect + stock shotgun ninjaneer
booties + tide tuner + axe

For me, it's Stock

scout: stock fan or shortstop with pistol respectively
soldier: rl/black box, shotgun, equalizer
pyro: degreaser, shotgun, any
demo: stock
heavy: not fun for me
engie: shotgun/widowmaker, pistol, gunslinger
medic: crossbow, vaccinator, ubersaw
sniper: stock
spy: not fun for me

>all those people in game and nobody screen shots you

Every one of these you post, I upvote

>shilling a cosmetic in the description of that cosmetic

>linking stuff you worked on on a page for a thing you worked on is bad

...

its the hat pyro is wearing

so he's shilling an item? that's even worse

where did you get this picture of me

i truly do not understand what you are getting at.

>This item has been certified as fully compatible with Team Fortress 2. Click here for details.

It is the last time. He forced me to do this one. Hated every second. I feel dirty. I told Vipes not to shill his hat in the picture, but he goes and does it anyway.

it's like going
"hey you watched my video? now go listen to this song i made that i'm forcing you to listen to"
