The Pyro's stock Loadout

The Pyro is a very aggressive class and of course, it's stock loadout is going in the same way.

The primary is the up close and painful Flame Thrower. It deals absolutely terrifying damage up close, and also has a airblast feature, which can reflect ALL explosives, extinguish burning teammates, and blow enemy players into the air.

His secondary is the trusty old Shotgun, a reliable and all around useful weapon.
It fires 10 pellets per shot and can deal good damage up close, but suffers from a sharp range fall off.
But still, it can be used when out of ammo, under water, or just when you opponents are out of range.

His melee is a fire ax, which deals a nice 65 damage per hit and 195 on a critical hit, just like other melees.

The tactics I usually use with stock Pyro is to ambush players and just burn them to death. Of course, things might not go your way, and that's when i rely on the trusty shoty to finish off an enemy if he gets out of range. Also, if i can get an enemy into a corner, i just airblast him and them butcher him with the ax. My next post will be my alternate loadout for the Pyro.
