High Octane – Detonation for fun and profit
While the Pyro’s Detonator isn’t all it was cracked up to be in the Team Fortress 2 Beta, it certainly opens up some new routes for the world’s most lovable buffoon.
Sure, it’s no rocket jump, but well-placed shots provide access to avenues that normally require double jumps or “help” from an enemy player. And thanks to the increased explosive damage of the Attendant Set, the Pyro can gain additional air… at the cost of his own health.
What do you make of the Pyro’s secondary loadout options?
This guy really likes jumping. As soon as I get the hat, I’ll try it out. I just hate the 10% vulnerability to bullets, you’ll get more damaged by almost every class.
Nice. I hadn’t thought of trying jumping with the detonator.
I still have to work on the timing. When it goes far enough I can’t tell if it’s next to the enemy or not.
