The Pyro is an offensive class. Using their Flame Thrower, they specialise in flanking enemies and lighting them on fire to deal damage after the encounter is over.
Bio
Location of origin: Unknown
Job: Pyrotechnics
Motto: "Mmph mmmph mph-mph mmph mmmmph!"
Only two things are known for sure about the mysterious Pyro: he sets things on fire and he doesn't speak. In fact, only the part about setting things on fire is undisputed. Some believe his occasional rasping wheeze may be an attempt to communicate through a mouth obstructed by a filter and attached to lungs ravaged by constant exposure to his asbestos-lined suit. Either way, he's a fearsome, inscrutable, on-fire Frankenstein of a man. If he even is a man.

Tips
As a Pyro…
- …your flamethrower does more damage the closer you are to the enemy.
- …ambush enemies to catch them in the short range of your flamethrower. Use corners to your advantage.
- …your flamethrower chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen weapons to refill your supply.
- …switch to your shotgun if enemies retreat beyond the short range of your flamethrower.
- …you can often set enemies on fire and retreat, leaving them to die from the burning.
- …you cannot be ignited by fire-based weapons. Use your shotgun or melee weapons against enemy Pyros in order to counter this.
- …the flamethrower's compression blast (MOUSE2) is a very useful tool. Use it to push enemies, even invulnerable Medics and their buddies, away or into environmental hazards.
- …your flamethrower can extinguish burning teammates with MOUSE2.
- …your flaregun can catch enemies on fire at long range. This works well against enemy Snipers.
