Whats your pyro loadout?

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

airblast is so funny and really effective can't give it up... plus you can put out your teammates. Yet, there seems to be a lot of pyros that don't know this and stare at me while im burning.

Flamethrower
Shotty
Axestinguisher

Same, those pyros are just not team players...only reason i use the shotty more than the flare gun is cuz im not that good when they strafe with the flare gun.

Backburner
Flare Gun
Axetinguisher

Im usually in first place when i play so ya the back burner is not effective much in defense due to the air blast but im probably the most sneakiest pyros you would ever face... Im super sneaky sneaky and when your back is turned... the temperature raises to critical level booya

Unlocks flail.

Flamethrower
Shotgun
Axtinguisher(only exception)

Flamethrower
Shotgun
Axetinguisher

I know everyone says the above layout except with flare gun is the best, but I disagree. If you use flamethrower, flare gun, and axetinguisher, then ALL 3 of your weapons are useless in water. Not to mention my aim with the flare gun is horrid.

Flamethrower
Flare gun
Fire ax

Axpyro ftw.

Actually, I usually use the axtinguisher (puff n' sting is awesome) but one night I decided to try fire ax only and have actually started to get pretty good at it. There's not much more fun than staring down a soldier across 2fort's bridge, whipping out the fire ax, jumping/riding his rockets into his face and axing him to death.

And I'm kind of surprised to hear that those who profess to be good pyros use the shotgun over the flare gun. I guess it is kind of tricky to aim. It may make you undermatched against other pyros, but they usually just flame rush you and it's not something to worry about.

You can't really scrape a lone heavy off the bridge with the shotgun, though a few flare gun shots will do it. Besides, flare gun kills are just so much fun. I suggest hitting retreating foes and sadistically thinking of the hopeless feeling they get as they burn to death. Also your team will love you if you snipe the medic.

Flamethrower because the compression blast makes you so much more versatile to the team. Saving your medic's life, saving a sentry, pushing back minefields, awesomely reflecting crit rockets into soldier's faces, and even sometimes dumb luck arrow deflect kills. Uber breaking is useful too. Still want to try rocket jumping like I saw in a video using this though =D

 

[Passerby]

flamethrower (Becuase the air blast is the best way to take on solly's and for breaking up ubers)
shotty (For other pyros and people who run away on fire
and axetingusher (for those heavy's that dont seem to feel the burn)

 

[Toxxin]

Flamethrower - Airblast ftw
Shottie
Fire axe -
I seen to have better luck with normal axe than axetinguisher

 

[Deja]

Backburner (except on dustbowl level 3 while on defense)
Shotgun (unless I'm sniping with the flare from time to time...)
Axetinguisher

I play spy a lot. The backburner fits my play style very well as I'm always trying to sneak behind people and stab them... Same principles come in to play..

 

[ianmaund]

Flamethrower (had my first reflected arrow kill the other day!)
Flare gun (nothing quite as satisfying as the sizzling noise a hit makes. Also minicrits!)
Axtinguisher (unless on 2fort, then the fire ax)

I used to love the shotgun, but switched to the flare gun recently to help get more points towards pyromancer. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, and now I can't decide which one to keep once I'm done with the achievement!

Flamethrower, Flare gun, Fire axe(Axetinguisher if I feel like it, sometimes)

What this guy said

 

[iGreen]

it's flamethrower, flare gun and axtinguisher all the way.

granted, it's a close toss-up between the shotty and the flare gun, but at ranges and forced entrance points there's nothing more rewarding than hitting the sniper at range before he's even got you in his sights and seeing him run off to find the nearest medi-pack.
it's even better now you can extinguish other players.

 

[Phoenixxx Wright]

This one. The winner-loadout.

That.

Definitely:
Flamethrower
Shotty
Axetinguisher

Can't believe no one has mentioned the awesome taunt kill with the shotgun! I love coming up behind snipers and Haaaaaadduuuuuken!

You can do that same taunt kill with the Flare Gun.

 

[Darkshade]

Flamethrower compression FTW!
Flare gun
Axtinguisher

 

[Proboscis]

I mainly use the flamethrower (Because I'm a team player, extinguishing team-mates and saving them from various projectiles and ubers.) Shotgun or Flaregun (I switch between the two, but mainly use shotgun) and the Axtinguisher. I've nothing really to say about it apart from it being really useful.

 

[DRaGZ]

I can kill people up close with my flamethrower, it's for people that are trying to run away. Plus flarensniping medics annoy them.

Shotgun isn't for people up-close, it's for medium-range and taking out fleeing people.

There isn't anything the flare gun can do that the shotgun can't do, except set people on fire from far away, which is generally pretty negligible at a distance considering they have a lot more options to get away and heal. Not to mention, hitscan is far better than slow easily-dodged projectile.

Not to mention that once you're in the water, you pretty much can only use your Axe, which is not a good situation for you to be in.

I interchange the last two, BACKBURNERS ARE FOR NON TEAM PYROS!
