Ugh, this guy is just another Muselk. I'm gonna un-ring the bell.
Pin of shame
Edit: I just finished the video. I am sorry
The sky is made of sky
@@Sonherby yours is a reply of shame I guess

One thing I really wish that they added to the Thermal Thruster was the ability to use the second charge in midair after the first thrust. It would be really neat to make extremely long horizontal leaps in exchange for giving up the ability to jump out after jumping in.
That is a mvm upgrade
Meaning it would unlikely to be added as a part of the weapon
You kinda can
You can do thatin mvm, kinda useless tho.
Maybe an alt fire that consumes both charges but gives you a super jump?
Damn, can you imagine how far you can go if you sync this with a reflected rocket/grenade? I’m betting as far as a stickyjumping Demo. I’d approve of this.
Small add: Thermal thruster lets you launch yourself backwards and forwards on the direction you're facing, try to launch yourself and press S, it launches you backwards instead of forwards.
I use that tech to juke, it works well enough.
I though that was only a side-effect of 10x mode
I always thought the thermal roster can be pretty useful if someone put in the time to learn how to use it effectively but since I don’t really play pyro it wasn’t gonna be me, so it cool seeing what it can do
you can use it on payload defense, with the Backburner and any melee you want, jetpack to the enemy team while they are pushing the cart and boom, no more
Mmm thermal *roster*
@@CursedSFMS honey, fire up the *THERMAL ROASTER*
thermal rooster🥰
Honestly one of my favourite things about the Thermal Thruster is that - unlike a lot of videogame jetpacks I've used - it's actually a weapon, and it has some kind of offensive capability, rather than just being a secondary ability attached to the jump button.
it's not really a jetpack
it's a thruster
@@fistferno4294 Eh, close enough.
@@wrenbeck3370 a jetpack makes you fly, while a thruster thrusts/bposts you
@@fistferno4294 Actually, the Thermal Thruster is more of a jump-pack. A thruster is just a general-purpose technical term for a rocket engine.
It reminds me of that thing in Half Life 1 that you only get in the training section and Xen
I feel like making the thermal thruster passively switch to one of your other weapons as soon as you launch into the air would massively improve the janky feeling of the weapon. It feels like it was designed with that in mind too.
Yeah it should remove the long unequip animation once you've used it and while in the air, would make for a pretty good change
I have a feeling that feature is on purpose. To not make it too powerful.
With some practice it could be use to get into places & it could be a really good item once you get a hang of it like I used it to make a getaway with intel or just coming like a meteor into enemy teams
Literally my first reaction to seeing the super boop was: "Oh my god I want to do that."
I believe holding S while the second part of the jump is initiating will cause it to send you backwards. Super annoying quirk if you don’t know about it, funny juke option if you do.
The ending is beautiful.
It simply put tears on my face.
same but for (presumably) different reasons
@@cheddartaco I don't think those are tears..
*American music plays
The Super Boop
Is it bad that I know the artist who did that?
I call market gardening as pyro "pytroll", and I'm very proud of that name because it sounds like petrol and we all know how much pyro loves that stuff :)
thats perfect
mmmmmm petrol
@@mooseteeth1146 thank you 😊
@@aldeenithegreat 😋
@@aldeenithegreat delicious
Damn you! That "super boop" and the cabinet glitch were my ideas, grrr.. For real tho, the video is really good. It is nice to see that someone else had found these two quirks useful too.
Such underrated content tbh. Your effort to this vids needs to be recognized, the editing and overall quality is 10/10! Pls yt do something
I've loved the thermal thruster ever since this one game I had. I was defending last of upward and decided to go pyro for a laugh. With the thruster I was flying around that pit all the time. The cool down time didn't even matter because of the resapwn lockers. Airblasting people into the pit flaming down medics, it was great.
Finally, a video showing newer players on how to use one of my most favorite items for Pyro in the game.
Also here's a tip that isn't just useful at times but also incredibly stylish. You can actually use airblast on a rocket from a gullible soldier (as shown in one of the clips of this video) or use loose grenade on the floor to do a pyro rocket jump and then while you're flying in the sky switch to your jetpack to go even further. You'll make some major distance depending on the map while doing this and it's a lot of fun to do once you get the hang of this technique. You could potentially make some really clutch plays or escapes as well by doing this.. just keep in mind where you are trying to do this (and keep track of how much health you have) because there is no way in hell you'll be flying in cp_junction.
4:31 I never knew there was health and ammo there
7:19 bruh he really censored the word "british"
The censorship of the word stopped his full account demonetization, also no cursing
Police? Yeah that one, he said the b word, no the other one, yeah as many armed units as possible.
7:49 That was probably the best death I have ever had as spy.
I like how you chuckled at “Eat ass” you know it’s funny when you laugh at your own joke
The stomping seems like an afterthought for the mantreads. They do so much more than let you stomp people.
Like reduced knockback and increased air control? C'mon you barely even notice that.
They're meme-tier it's why people only ever equip them with the rocket jumper.
afterthought? that used to be all they did!
@@m136dalie you *clearly* have never used them if you think you barely notice that 💀
People don't use them simply because Soldier has better things to use his secondary slot for, they're only used on trolldier because a mobility-centered loadout benefits more from the better mobility than any other Soldier loadout
Was expecting a shitpost, got an actual helpful video. True gamer.
This video perfectly summed up how I think when I use the thruster. Amazing video as always!
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues.
Yes
I forgot the thermal thruster existed and thought it was the fire axe
I love the Jetpack Joyride theme at the start it fitted so well
As a Nijisanji enjoyer i didnt expect to learn that Sonny is Sketchek from this video
Good video though 👍
Graduation time
the "Super boop" has been discussed before by a plat highlander(?) pyro, I remember seeing a clip on upward of him landing on a heavy med combo and "super booping" them off the classic upward 2nd cliff.
when i saw him land on an invisible wall high above the train i litteritly went "what the hell?" trying to understand why a dev whould make the hitbox for an object go that much higher
I love using the jetpack with the back burner and my mailbox named "You got mail"
16:03 that meme had me howl laughing, it's rare for the internet to make me laugh anymore.
Subbed
The thruster really helped me a lot in using Pyro (as I'm not really good at using flares and combos)
The thruster allowed me to have an ambush type and very offensive playstyle that works pretty much 75% of the time, sometimes even being able to annihilate half the enemy team which gives as the chance to push whatsoever
pyro is one of my most played classes, I've been playing for years and I've been trying to do the thermal thruster bonus contracts and I haven't even gotten 1 of the required 10 of ether bonuses
update: I finished one of the bonuses because I got a small amount of help
now I just need to do the other contract bonus
The editing is so good and funny! You're WAY underrated
That Jetpack Joyride intro just gave me nostalgia I didn't even know I had.
good vid nevertheless
off-topic: your apparitions aspect + unusual robo-modest hat combo is legendary, it's sick as hell, and reminds me of Wonder Of U from jojo
the jetpack joyride music in the intro sent me all the way back, its probably been close to a decade since i last heard that lol. very fitting
11:58 , I've been using the thermal thruster for over a year consistently, its strange to realize this isn't that well known about. Overall great video and nice to see some love on the jetpack :)
0:21
that's me
Mmmmm, the Backburner, Thermal, and Backscratcher
i really like your sense of humor. it doesnt feel like youre trying too hard, and it doesn't break the rhythm of the video too much
12:22 coincidentally i beat you to showing this in a video by a few days, the "super boop" is a good name though :)
Thank you for telling me what to look out for the next month
1:45 JELEEL YEASH
The Thermal Thruster's best upside is obviously being able to Rancho Piano up in the skybox.
Jetpack Joyride?
Fly me to the moon?
You have some great music taste, man
2:00 you do know holding right-click with the detonator then firing gives much more mobility. Plus the fact pyro can use much more frequently and not give up a damaging secondary makes the detonator far better and for me much more fun to use. The faster switch speeds help kill off the enemy about to get away.
But yes I do admit the thermal thruster is much better at these big "dive" bombs and rushes and making it easier to get out.
I do hold right click I just scuffed that one jump up
@@TheWhatShow probabganda
I always felt like weapons like Thermal Thruster, or even any other bad weapon isnt always as bad as everyone says, and theirs a possibility of an actual use. Something like what Fish Stick on a Stick does in his Bad Weapon Academy (even tho he didnt do it with Back Scatter)
The reason why I don't use the Thermal Thruster before you convinced me with this video, is that it's so loud. Holstering, deploying, using it, you name it. It's so much louder than Dead Ringer and you have to be deaf to not hear it. Meanwhile, rocket jumping that offers much more mobility is really quiet and requires you to see the Soldier doing to know that he's performing that.
great video, the kh music actually killed me emotionally tho lmao
The words “eat ass” on fire while happy wheels music is playing broke me
Great music choice for the video!
Wow, the editing in this video is incredible.
I love using the thermal thruster with the sharpened volcano fragment. I don't know why but it just works. It crits so often and stack that on top of that the afterburn and the surprise factor with the stomp. It's so stupid yet it works.
The tf2 tips and tricks caught my attention. Then you added kh2 music. Now am subscribed
Best paired with the dragons fury (especially if sentries exist).
*Jetpack Joyride Intensifies*
as I like to put it after watching someone's video on detonator, the detonator is good for consistency/quickness whilst still getting nuts range, but thermal thrust is further and less damage on a longer cd and deploy time. Basically rocket jumping, but choosing between stock and gunboats vs stock and parachute, although more practical due to damage and control of the thruster.
Let's goo! Thank you for making this video pal! ⭐
I wanted to use this weapon for so long but didn't know exactly how to without dying horribly lol
Btw, nice background music 🎶
I'm glad other people see the potential in this thing! I'm a pyro main as well, and since I started using the thruster a few months back, it's one of my favorite weapons. One little thing I'll add is that the thruster has a hidden downside where you take much more knockback at all times, even when you don't have it out. Most of the time, this is just a detriment since it allows people to shoot you out of the air, but it can actually be useful, sort of like the old shortstop. You can surf damage much farther than you could otherwise, so if a heavy starts shooting you, I've found you can just crouch jump and basically fly away from them (plus reflected rockets can send you across the map)
I've heard these things a million times yet right now I'm enjoying this video, you're pretty kool
Righteous bison nice to see it still being in loadouts
11:12 "i just jumped into the entirety of scotland" adding that to the quote book.
Using the bathroom with the thermostat ruster will incinerate enemies!
"It's time to kick gum and chew *ass*, and I'm all out of *ass*." TheWhat Show
4:20
You are underrated. I learned alot of new stuff now.
after I got it from a random drop I absolutely fell in love with it glad to see a video on it
finally, a video on the stock fireaxe!
Loving the goat soup and the music selection
Holy crap Lois it's the Pyromaniac from hit game Team Defense Fort 2!
i feel like the 2 jungle inferno secondaries would both be better off in a 4th weapon slot rather than being secondaries, and pyro would love to have either of them alongside the flare guns and shotguns.
Censoring Br*tish was way funnier than it had any right to be
Thank you for this video. I have been running Thermal Thruster and Back Scratcher for a while now, and it's great to see a video on this ~*secret subclass*~ that nobody wants to talk about.
Love the use of the Halloween 2018 clip.
the validation i have been looking for!
The fact that the thermal thruster requires actual skill makes it easily worse than most secondaries imo. Same with the Dragon's Fury, if you're just as effective with another weapon without having to do half the effort, what's the point?
the F U N
I mean if you wanna look at it like that, yea you'll be more immediately effective with something else but off picks have value. Either they have more potential with higher skill or can be unexpected choices that can catch the enemy off guard. At the very least variety can be fun and you could find something you actually just prefer.
i don't know about the thermal thruster, but i'm more effective with the dragons fury, after using it for maybe two or three days. sometimes things have a higher skill floor because they have a higher reward. i would argue the bazaar bargain is in a similar scenario with the stock sniper rifle. if you can't hit headshots, it's an objectively worse rifle. but if you can, it is a direct upgrade. the df is certainly not as clear an upgrade in my opinion, but i still believe it's at least a little better than stock or the degreaser.
@@coreypark3244 There's no point in using the Dragon's Fury when flare punching is faster, easier, more effective, and you still keep your normal flamethrower.
@@evdestroy5304 Maybe we just have wanna have fun and try new things over then doing the same old thing over and over again?
I absolutely love using the trusters. It’s my go to secondary. The movement it gives is is why I love it. Being able to be used to get in and out of situations is such a big appeal for me
Clearly the best secondary for support pyro is the scorchshot.
Just resist the urge and use it only for the sticky destroying stat
a reason why not many pyros use it is that it conflicts with any backpack cosmetics, so they just stick with the other secondaries
I would say to fix it, make take-off and landing more devastating. Make it a big grand action. When you take off, shake the screen that knocks enemies around and still extinguishes teammates and debuffs and all of that. When you Land, shake the screen, and knock enemies around, and clear all the debuffs off you. Make everyone know that you took flight.
"...Only to get stunned down and tragically die..."
The back burner pyro behind the enemy team
I love using this with the Dragon's Fury. It's good enough to stand on its own as a primary weapon, and the added mobility of the jump pack helps with getting picks. For melees I either go with the powerjack or the backscratcher when there aren't medics
ahh, i love hearing lazy afternoons out in the wild like that
I agree with everything in the vid but I must say it's hilarious that half of the clips are flying in, getting one sick kill, then dying a horrible death
this kids going places.
"We will watch your career with great interest"
it wasn't about fire axe, im cryning.
It's always fun to fly to the other side of the map and burn the clueless Snipers to death with the Trusther
Great video man
i would pay good money to watch fsoas and thewhat yell at each other over the thermal thruster for over an hour
I love Thermal Thruster, but sometimes I wish it would work when I click it, sometimes you need to click it twice to activate it
14:33 Can't believe you just exposed Sketchek's identity, reported! xD
That ending lol
The thermal thruster was my first unlock and I love the thing
I just wish that the back burner had an actually usable back hitbox so you could consistently get crits when behind an enemy, would use the thruster a lot more if the back burner was consistent.
I used it even though I thought it was bad, but now this video came out I am going to use these strategies to see how well I do!!
Thruster needs warpaint compatability tbh.
I also kinda like the increased knock back you take w/ it equipped, sometimes helps with escapes, buuuut is mostly just funnee
The biggest downside to the thruster isn't even a stat. It's the sound. It's so loud that flanking can be hard without being noticed.
I use the thruster with my "minon pyroshark" loadout so i can fly out of the sewers on 2fort
I just use it to bully snipers with the degreaser(only use it for the switch speed, not for offense) and Sharpened volcano fragment on Hightower,thunder mountain, bad water, and double cross
I forgot to mention pushing people off of upward is fun
getting behind the engie nest on a map like tfort with this is very fun, most snipers have tunnel vision and the dragon's fury takes down sentries real good like so i say its basically super jump/ jet packs from ttt which are banned in combat on some servers they have them since jumping high up is a "op" strat
3:08 I'VE WATCHED MUSLELK DON'T PULL THAT ON ME

FINALLY A VIDEO ABOUT THE FIRE AXE I wanted to see if I should delete it for more backpack space or not
And here I thought he was going to talk about the "axe".
Also don't use the uuh, the uuh Scorch shot.
