For all the havoc and damage a Pyro can wreak, there are plenty of things that will end him before he even gets started. The biggest weaknesses of the Pyro are EMP Grenades, Sentry Guns, and long range battles. An EMP Grenade will instantly kill a Pyro with full (or almost full) ammunition. The many cells he carries in his flamethrower make him a prime target. In order to survive EMP grenades, you should empty your flamethrower to about half-ammo (100 cells). Start this when you spawn and usually by the time you make it to the enemy base, you should have about 100 cells left. The 100 cells remaining are plenty of ammo. Emptying your flamethrower ammunition should allow you to survive at least one EMP. It tends to leave you with barely any health, but the important fact is that you're alive. | For all the havoc and damage a Pyro can wreak, there are plenty of things that will end him before he even gets started.

| − | Sentry Guns present another problem for the | + | Sentry Guns present another problem for the Pyro. They are often in high places at a range the pyro cannot effectively attack. Your best bet with sentry guns is to find a way around them, figure out how to get into close range in order to circle strafe it to death with your flamethrower, or lob grenades at it (assuming your grenades can reach it). |
The final big weakness is related to the sentry gun problem. By his very nature, the Pyro is a close-quarters combatant. The IC is a terrible weapon for long-range damage (it is best used for harassment and setting up combos) and the shotgun is out of the question for long range combat. The best solution for this problem is to choose your battles wisely and learn how to navigate through enemy fire to close the gap quickly. The Pyro's has a big speed advantage over most defensive classes. Use it wisely. | The final big weakness is related to the sentry gun problem.
