Want to master Pyro's reflects? This video is a comprehensive Pyro Reflect and Airblast Guide for Team Fortress 2 players just like you.
Pyro's reflects are fun, effective, and devastating in Team Fortress 2 and this video is the ultimate Pyro reflect and airblast guide that you need to become a menace to projectile classes. Uncover the secrets behind consistently reflecting projectiles and dominating TF2 (Team Fortress 2). In this guide, we delve into the fundamentals of reflects, breaking down the complexities of Pyro, and offering actionable tips for players at every skill level.
Reflecting projectiles may seem hard at first, but breaking it down to the basics is crucial. Learn the ropes by reflecting projectiles aimed at you and redirecting them toward your target. As the chaos of Team Fortress 2 unfolds, new players often struggle with the overwhelming demands on their attention. As we'll explore, the key lies in developing a strong sense of gamesense.
In a fast-paced game like Team Fortress 2, developing gamesense is key. Many novice Pyros struggle with reflects because they prioritise other aspects of gameplay, such as movement, survival, and damage dealing. This guide emphasises the importance of gamesense and provides practical advice on building it over time.
Becoming an expert at Pyro's reflects and airblasts requires time, consistency, and a deliberate practice approach. While experience improves your skills naturally, practising reflecting as a Pyro on defence can accelerate learning. This video shares some tips about how to hone your airblast and reflect skills, understanding projectile weapons, and adapting your playstyle based on the situation.
I also talk about some advanced Pyro techniques to elevate your reflect game and improve at Team Fortress 2 (TF2). Understand each projectile weapon, surprise enemies for predictability, and bait opponents into firing projectiles. We'll explore how to use range strategically, predict at close quarters, and adjust your playstyle based on the skill level of your opponents.
Gain insights into handling challenging projectile weapons like the Huntsman, Direct Hit, Loch-n-Load, and more. Discover specific strategies to reflect Dragon's Fury fireballs, deal with sticky bombs, and defeat Soldiers and Demomen in Team Fortress 2 (TF2) as a Pyro using reflects and airblasts. Uncover the nuances of countering unique weapons and turning them to your advantage.
Move beyond the basics and learn stylish techniques like reflect airshots and reflect rocket jumps. Discover how to predict and aim your reflects, especially against rocket-jumping Soldiers. Reflect jumping is a powerful tool that can surprise enemies, close the distance, and add flair to your Pyro gameplay.
Transform Pyro from a mere WM1 bot into a dynamic, skillful class with an extensive toolbox of tricks and tactics. This guide offers a comprehensive journey from the basics to advanced techniques, providing players with the knowledge and skills needed to dominate the battlefield. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced Pyro player, this guide promises to enhance your reflect abilities and make Team Fortress 2 even more thrilling.

Ultimate Pyro Reflect and Airblast Guide - TF2 Pyro Tutorial - Ігри
Pyro mains yapping 20 mins about spamming m2 and calling it a skill based mechanic
Average soldier main:
@@orlandodanielgonzalezalcar3360 medic and sniper main ✌️
If you're spammming you're doing it wrong
@@2pizza847Sniper mains playing glorified aim trainer and calling it "skilled gameplay"
Soldier mains explaining how their class is the one that needs the most skill because Rocket jumping is hard, just ignore the whole thing about shooting at the ground
we all lost hopes as a pyro main, when we steadily became worse and worse without our best pyro main guide. The king, the legend, he is back!
no
@@benismannwhy are you like this
@@FFlanders_Jamonski ?
@@benismann 💀
I miss Voodoo Mane...
fun fact, due to the way reflects are coded, a reflected direct hit rocket does not inherit the splash radius penalty built into the weapon, so a reflected DH rocket has the same splash radius as stock, making aiming your reflect near the feet a viable strategy.
What about damage and speed? Does that also reverts to a stock rocket?
@@NareasPLNo, it retains it's normal speed + dmg stats.
It has something to do with how reflecting with airblast interacts with rockets in the code, returning all rockets from the DH to their stock explosion radius.
It's a bunch of complicated source-spaghetti, thats all I know.
Kinda a unrelated but, i love pfp
It's a weapon ownership issue. Rockets don't have any data on how big their splash should be, it just looks it up from the weapon that fired it. When reflecting it, it gets set to your flamethrower. Similar issues affect pipe self-damage (turns very high because the flamethrower has a very high damage stat, despite not being used for its flame damage calculations), and cow mangler fire damage takes the degreaser's penalty
@@OmegaRC59does it also apply to the loch n load?
as a Medic, I can't imagine being so fortunate as to have a Pybro to keep demomen off me. I'd be immeasurably grateful.
protecting my medics is one of my top priorities whenever i'm playing pyro. medics are the glue of the team, as long they're alive the team is alive, the circle of life
You keep us alive we return the favor
Reflecting is not about sight.
It's about syncronizing the enemy's reaction to your reaction.
You need to feel the Soldier's brain pressing the trigger.
You also need to feel him NOT pressing the trigger to try to confuse you.
4:04 is super true.
Direct Hit is by far the easiest one to reflect and hit.
Because with the other rockets, you have to take distance into consideration, DH is mostly just about reaction time.
It aint that deep (or is it)
Playing ULTRAKILL has made me look at airblast in a whole new light
+AIRBLAST
you need to go to this on game banana pyro punches instead of using his flame thrower to air blast Kylul's Pyro Animation Pack + ULTRAPYRO Airblast
Me when the +PARRY and the +KILL:
Yeah
Another really good tip that I don’t think you mentioned is that when fighting demomen, try getting them into a pattern. What I like to do is that I dodge the first pipe, then they usually fire the second one immediately after and you can use instinct to reflect the second pipe. I’ve recently started using this and it works so well against all types of demomen. Still without the part I mentioned, I did learn some good stuff from you 😊! Thank you! ❤
*Pan Noises*
He kind of mentions this at 17:56, only instead of dodging the first shot it's facetanking it.
I do know the benefits of the degreaser, but I just prefer stock tbh. I love the classic look of the stock flamethrower over the degreaser, despite not relying on after burn the 3 extra tick damage still a nice benefit to have, and honestly I’m just too used to stock switch speed where it’s easier for me to hit flare punches with stock compared to the degreaser lol.
But regardless of that your well formatted guide had given me some much needed insight that will help me out, so I’m quite thankful for this remake. Glad to see ya finally uploading again!
I definitely understand the part of the looks, I love the Backburner, it looks so sick, and I like to fool soldiers into thinking that I can't reflect shawt, plus flanking is a pretty funny business.
Reflecting has this super nice feeling attatched to it, idk how to even describe it really
It's been 37 years....
Seriously tho, as a pyro main, this guide is really good for newbies. Pretty much so all of this myself but you managed to put it in a really clear way.
Welcome back dude :). Thanks to your videos, I've been slowly but surely getting better at Pyro. I appreciate all that you've done ♥
This came at such a good time! I've been watching your previous guide again and again recently to add some mental notes for myself to prepare for a project that I want to do next year, and this is even better! Great video with good presentation, keep it up!
I feel like the important thing about learning reflect jumps is that good sollies will decide not to shoot directly at you but to the side of you so that it's harder to reflect into them.
So you reflect jump into their face and force them into that fight.
I've been on the edge of consistent airblast-level pyro for a hot minute now. Thank you for this updated guide, this is extremely helpful!
Welcome back, by the way :)
Absurdly high quality video. Great tips, and wonderful animation, blew me away.
Just got back into tf2 so good timing!
Also the quality is really good and I think you've done a great job so far!
I never thought there was going to be another one of these but I love it
Great video and editing!
I may have not gained any knowledge, but your tips and intro cinematic were fantastic nonetheless.
Good stuff, keep it up.
A lot of work went into this video. Awesome!
Man, this was just what I needed. Thanks!
Also the SFMs, muah, great
very good vid, im glad to see a new airblast guide with better editing and visual.
The GOAT is back! I missed your Pyro guides, man. Good to have a new one and it's about my favorite Pyro mechanic as well!
YEEEES!! im so glad you're back!! im a huge fan of pyro and their playstyle and your videos have helped me plenty to play them better, so thank you very much!
Great sfm work bro! You’re a pleasure and a breath of fresh air in the pyro tf2 sphere. You’re gonna probably reach 50k before the end of 2024.
I've talked about this with my other pyro main friends but playing pyro vs soldier is like a fighting game, the way you have to consider spacing, neutral game, pushing advantage, and reading your opponent really makes it play out SO differently from almost any other FPS game fight
The king is back with a great tutorial as always!
As an aspiring pyro main, it's good to see you return again
great video!
also loved the little animated segment
Amazing video, thank you so much for this quide
it's definitely the best guide for anyone who whants to improve as a pyro. Good work, keep it up!
that animation is so adorable
Helped a lot! I have improved at air blasting and I have got some threats in game, this is why I am subscribed!
Right as I got into TF2 and decided to main Pyro! Your timing is impeccable
The king is back! Couldn't thank you enough for how useful your videos have been to me as a new Pyro main for almost a year now. I would just not be where I am at right now without your videos. Maybe this will motivate me to finish some of my Pyro videos that have been stuck in editing hell these past few months! 😆
brother
A fellow spy
that SFM section at the beginning of the video is so fucking GOOD, everything from the jokes to the cues were just right, outstanding video!
OMG I CANT BEALIVE YOU UPLOADED, THANK YOU!!
Thanks for all the pyro vids! I’ve been going through a bunch of your videos and really enjoy them, helped me try out classes other than medic since I last played in like 2012.
Also shout outs to the Ace Attorney OST in the videos, love that series.
cool sfm bits . good guide. i just dont play pyro, but i might start to do that more
I haven't played TF2 in years now, but the fun of airblasting projectiles lives on in my username. It's honestly such a satisfying and skillful mechanic.
Those are some great tips and clips you have there! Some of those reflects were borderline NASTY. Awesome video!
That intro animation was hilarious, well done!
I am so glad that I knew and know a little more about reflects than this video provides
i don't like fighting the airstrike because i can barely see it. but other than that, great guide! you touched on all the relevant reflectable weapons that can be tricky to reflect and how to properly counter them (let's not talk about the loose cannon). i also love that you included the dragon's fury, that's *my* favourite projectile to reflect because people just don't expect it
keep it up!
I loved the SFM bit, really well made
lovely editing
Well well well... Look who's back! Great video man!
Good animations and good tutorial, nice job
The goat is back, I never thought I would see the day
these videos come in so clutch
The Gibus Pyro was the funniest thing I've seen today.
Also, your animation skills are pretty good!
I hvae not seen good pyro main guides, but thank god this guy came in
i love ur videos, ur like my favorite pyro player, keep uploading
Glad you’re back
I love the animation in the beginning. I don't know if it's sfm or gmod but it look amazing! Also great and very useful video
sfm
this vid is legendary thx yu so much
The king himself is back with a pyro guide!
You really helped me at improving at pyro, like a lot. Without you and other pyro mains I would still probably be WM1ing into the enemy team
I just started searching "How to play pyro" and u made that video right in the same day i needed it, thank you so much
heyyyyyy, I was wondering when you were coming back!! :DDDD
I love the new production quality
I STILL can't believe this guy uses Need For Madness music in his videos. Classic.
holy shit dude i love your voice and content welcome back
HES BACK! I was starting to get a little worried there.
Thank you for this
I love that your back
It's a good day when Pirateer uploads.
I love how people say that Pyro takes no skill, while completely ignoring Airblast.
Man the funnest thing as Soldier is fighting a really good Pyro and consistently beating them, gonna definitely keep these tricks in mind when I fight Pyros :D
Hey, like the vid. Glad to do the animation commission for the weapons!
i loved the animated segments
The legend came back!
You’ve inspired me to start playing tf2 again after months, thanks.
Worth the wait.
the video quality is actually crazy bro what happened?????? this video is so good
"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKETS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"
I got back into TF2 like three days ago as of writing this, and this video actually helps me to understand why i'm struggling. There's just so much happening, but i'm trying to play it safe. I'm gonna have to learn how to actually go in and engage. The three main classes i'm interested in are Pyro, Demo, and Engie. Pyro largely due to the airblast, so i' hoping this video helps.
Learning how to consistently reflect arrows and repair claws gave me immense pride as a kid to finally learn something hard as shit on a game
Great vid
excellent timing with UDL coming up
my man finna back on youtube!
Welcome back ❤
The king returned!!!
Hey! I played with you on pl_badwater! Love your vids
Great video
I've been maining pyro for maybe 5-6 years at this point and I swear airblast just becomes your spidey sense at some point
The return of the king 👑
Yet another Pirateer classic
"This pyro missed that reflect, looks like someone didnt watch a pirateer video"
Good tip video. Take this sub.
He's back!
best pyro guides on youtube
Nice job
A good method I want to share when it comes to reflecting rockets, is to wait until you see the orange/yellow blaze trail the rocket makes. As Sir Andrew Prescott said on the battle of bunker hill: “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes”. But in terms of tf2 it’s “Don’t air blast until you see the orange of their rockets”
Finally, I can be a decent Pyro main
Update: it’s been like 8 minutes and I killed a soldier with his own crocket
First Theory-Y and now you? This week is shaping up to be a good week.
Nice to see what you've been working on for so long! Awesome production quality!
plus.
Pls give tips for playing Pyro on higher ping (150 ping ish).
It's very hard
I personally find it tough to play pyro above around 130 ping
Tips: predict reflects, don't react (you'll miss because of the ping), play more at medium range, use shotgun secondary so you have a hitscan weapon (less affected by ping)
Return of the king
He is back :)
Finally, hes back
Wow, that's sime quality content. Sucha a shame i didn't find you untill now
just when i redownloaded tf2 to learn pyro again my man uploads at the perfect time
