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.
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 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
@@ziqrsxor, on payload offense (last points especially). if red is on the cart preventing you from pushing it, jump in and airblast em away. this is incredibly useful on frontier last, when the cart just needs to be pushed a few more meters: use the flank route under the point, jetpack up, airblast enemies away, maybe down the cliff, and cap. ive won several games by doing tbis
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.
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.
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
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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 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.
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 :)
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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)
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
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.
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 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?
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.
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
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.
I like to do whats called a "bait jump". If you see your heavy and the enemy heavy are fighting eachother. Make sure that the enemy heavy sees you jump, jump straight up though far enough to where you wouldnt get obliterated. Then, the enemy heavy has 3 options. 1: Continue shooting at the friendly heavy, you can get near and kill him. 2. The heavy will shoot at you, and the friendly heavy can kill it. 3. Run away, the heavy then is out of the game and makes capping or pushing that makes it easier.
two things worth mentioning: 1. a jetpack stomp + an axtinguisher crit is usually enough to instantly kill an enemy pyro. this gives the jetpack even more surprising utility as a combo weapon, especially with the dragon's fury (which itself is a surprisingly effective combo tool if used correctly, it even has a hidden stat where enemy pyros stay on fire for long enough to hit an axtinguisher crit) 2. you can use the console command snd_restart to get rid of the annoying flying sound when you do the stomp exploit. sometimes it doesnt work the first time and you need to run it again.
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 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
2:00 Eh I think detonator is arguably better because it is more versatile and quick making jumps. The thermal thruster in contrast has a recharge and it takes a while to activate and switch off of. The detonator is faster and also requires a bit of skill to use. It allows the pyro to gap close very efficiently and it’s very fun in my opinion. Also it’s a gun. And guns shoot people.
finally, someone who GETS it. Ive been using this baby since the item came out, and man its so good. Honestly I think its one of pyros best items. You have no idea how many pubs ive stomped because of how AGRESSIVE you can be. You take one point, instantly just jump to the next point, burn any defenses they might have started, probably die, then your team comes in and starts wiping them at the next point. Rinse and Repeat. Your honestly a better medic picker than spy and sniper with the boot and burn combo. I love the thermal 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.
