Arguably the most difficult class to master, the Demoman's weapons are a challenge to use, but in the hands of a skilled player, this class can single-handedly annihilate the other team. The Demoman's primary tool is the [[Weapon:Grenade_Launcher|grenade launcher]]. This weapon can hold up to 6 [[Ammo:Rocket|grenades]] (a.k.a. blue pipes), which behave differently from the game's [[Grenade:Frag|regular grenades]]. Rather than relying on simple fuse detonation, the Demoman's grenades arm nearly as soon as they are launched, and explode on contact with another player or one of the [[Class:Engineer|Engineer's]] [[Category:Buildables|buildable objects]], or after a few seconds. The Demoman can also choose to fire [[Weapon:Pipe_Launcher|pipebombs]] (a.k.a. green pipes, yellow pipes, and grellow pipes) from this weapon which do not detonate on impact, but rather are triggered either by the Demoman's "special skill" (or two minutes after being deployed). A maximum of 8 pipe bombs can be deployed at a time. They also detonate if the player is killed, or if they are within the blast radius of an Engineer's [[Grenade:EMP|EMP grenade]].

TODO on this page

  • Change the template from Page_Class => Class; Info box => Info box small
  • You need to add the abilities, weapons and grenades parameters
    And also the extra parameters for the info box (health, armour, power, speed)
    See Class:Scout or Class:Pyro for example of pages that are already done


Arguably the most difficult class to master, the Demoman's weapons are a challenge to use, but in the hands of a skilled player, this class can single-handedly annihilate the other team. The Demoman's primary tool is the grenade launcher. This weapon can hold up to 6 grenades (a.k.a. blue pipes), which behave differently from the game's regular grenades. Rather than relying on simple fuse detonation, the Demoman's grenades arm nearly as soon as they are launched, and explode on contact with another player or one of the Engineer's, or after a few seconds. The Demoman can also choose to fire pipebombs (a.k.a. green pipes, yellow pipes, and grellow pipes) from this weapon which do not detonate on impact, but rather are triggered either by the Demoman's "special skill" (or two minutes after being deployed). A maximum of 8 pipe bombs can be deployed at a time. They also detonate if the player is killed, or if they are within the blast radius of an Engineer's EMP grenade.

Similar to the Soldier class, the Demoman can perform a special type of jump with his pipebombs. By placing a pipebomb on the ground, then jumping over it while detonating it, the Demoman can perform a jump greater in height than a Soldier's rocket jump. The downside is that any more than two pipebombs will severely damage the Demoman.

The ability of a Demoman to deliver a large volume of explosive death nearly anywhere makes this class very valuable on defense, as well as clear enemy fortifications, or temporarily deny an area to aid the offense. In fact, certain maps require a Demoman to use his detpack (a large, extremely powerful, timed bomb that instantly kills anyone in the area) to open (and sometimes close) alternate entryways, or destroy key map objectives. The detpack can also be set to explode at timed intervals between 5 and 60 seconds. It is also selectable as a slot weapon which is set to detonate at 5 seconds, presumably for the purposes of rapid deployment.

The main weakness of this class is its inability to deal with long-range threats. Additionally, there is a degree of unpredictability with the grenade launcher, as the grenades sometimes bounce unpredictably, and the launcher's relatively slow reload time can leave the Demoman inadequately armed.

Another important component of the Demoman's arsenal is the MIRV grenade. These potent grenades explode twice, the first explosion sends out 4 submunitions, which explode again to devastate a wide radius. Armed with 2 MIRV grenades, up to 4 normal grenades, the single shotgun, and the crowbar, this class is fairly fast and wears better than average armor, making it capable on defense or in an offensive support role.

Changes from Team Fortress Classic

The Demoman's detpack now uses physics when being dropped/placed, but locks into position when it stops. You can roll it down hills or off of edges using this.

Special Command

Detonates any deployed pipes that were laid using the Pipe Launcher, regardless of which weapon is currently equipped. This command does not work if the player has just fired a fresh pipe (which glows red).

The demoman can clear or destroy special obstacles using his Detpacks, see the weapon page for details. The demoman can pipe jump, check out the Pipe Launcher page for details.

Special Abilities

The Demoman has no special abilities.

Weapons

Grenades

Ammunition

All classes are technically capable of carrying all of the different types of Ammunition. The various types of ammo in Fortress Forever are listed here along with the amount the class spawns with, the maximum the class can carry, and whether or not a class can discard that type of ammo. (For example, a Soldier can not discard Rockets since his RPG uses them.)

Some classes spawn with 0 of a specific type of ammo, and some classes can not pick up a specific type of ammo at all (represented by a 0 in the "Maximum" column).


Ammunition
Ammunition At Spawn Maximum Discard
Frag 2 4 No
MIRV 2 2 No
Shells 30 75 No
Nails 0 20 Yes
Cells 0 50 Yes
Rockets 20 50 No
Detpacks 1 1 No
