Degreaser vs Stock Flamethrower - TF2
4,063What’s the final answer to the Degreaser vs Stock Flamethrower debate in TF2? Check out this detailed TF2 video for Pyro tips, advice about which primary weapon to use, and different ways to use Pyro’s two main flamethrowers!
In Team Fortress 2 (TF2), many Pyro players assume that the Degreaser is good, or that the stock Flamethrower is bad, or that both are great, or that the stock Flamethrower is superior. However, this comprehensive Team Fortress 2 (TF2) video guide aims to break down the aspects and features of the Degreaser and the stock Flamethrower, and compare the two weapons to see which one is superior once and for all!
Team Fortress 2 (TF2) players often think that Pyro’s stock Flamethrower is stronger than the Degreaser due to the Degreaser’s afterburn damage penalty and increased airblast ammo cost. However, I argue in this Pyro video guide that the negative aspects of the Degreaser can be mitigated by practising and gaining experience with the weapon and the Pyro class. Although there are some situations that Pyro’s stock Flamethrower performs well in, the Degreaser is the ideal choice for most Pyro players in Team Fortress 2 (TF2).
This Team Fortress 2 (TF2) video also goes into some depth about the concept of ‘health sources’ and their availability for attackers and defenders. Attackers will usually have to push past sources of health to reach and attack the defending team. In comparison, the defenders are usually much closer to sources of health such as dispensers, Medics, and their spawn resupply cabinets. This means that afterburn from Pyro’s flamethrowers is far more effective and deadly when used on attackers by a defending Pyro, instead of the other way around.
Team Fortress 2 (TF2) players and Pyro mains should try to understand this concept as it applies to lots of in-game strategies such as Pyro’s afterburn, the importance of chip damage, projectile spam, and even Ubercharge usages. For example, Medics on the attacking team will usually need to use their Ubercharge first and earlier than the defending team’s Medic. This concept shows how the defending team has a noticeable advantage in space and access to sources of health in Team Fortress 2 (TF2). Pyro mains can use this knowledge to further their understanding of afterburn and how they can use it to appropriately harass enemies and secure kills through fire damage over time.
The Degreaser versus the Stock Flamethrower; which is better? In this Team Fortress 2 video guide, we’re going to find out what Pyro’s best primary flamethrower is once and for all! We’ll look at the stats of Pyro's Degreaser, some clips comparing the two flamethrowers, and discover which of Pyro’s two main flamethrowers is the best option for you!
