Stage 1 is the first of the 10 Stages and marks the beginning of the future Pyro main’s adventure in Team Fortress 2! The Pyro player has tried out a couple of other classes and heard that Pyro is a good class for new players, so they switch to Pyro and they think they’re ready to dominate in TF2! Unfortunately, Stage 1 Pyro players are usually just cannon fodder, and they haven’t figured out how to use their flamethrower properly. They don't have much success playing Pyro as they're new to the class, but they're still enjoying using the Pyro's Flamethrower and airblasting enemies around! After a few hours of playing on different maps in TF2, the amateur Pyro player is ready to move on to Stage 2!

Stage 2 represents the Pyro player’s struggle to actually reach the enemies before getting picked off. They try to achieve this by playing ultra-aggressive, not caring about their life or health in any way, and being blissfully unaware of enemies and allies around them! The future Pyro main either doesn’t know what airblast does yet, or used it by accident and thought it was a glitch! Whatever the case, the Pyro is still desperately trying to get in range of the enemies, but it seems like the entire enemy team is out to get them. They run in and go down to a sentry, a sniper, a heavy, a scout, a spy, a soldier, a demoman, and an engineer! However, the Pyro player eventually manages to reach the enemies and light them on fire, and they might even take a few of them out! This small victory inspires them to keep playing TF2, since they’re still enjoying their Pyro experience and slowly improving each time they respawn!

At some point, the Stage 3 Pyro will start experimenting with a range of different weapons and loadouts. They don’t really see the point of the Degreaser, rarely using the airblast and never pulling off combos, at least not deliberately. They love the Backburner and think it’s a straight upgrade to the stock Flamethrower since they don’t use airblasts anyway. They saw an enemy Pyro decimate their team with the Phlogistinator yesterday and saw other players complaining about how broken it is. They tried it out and think its an upgrade, but they almost never live long enough to build up the crit meter or use the crits effectively. If they actually manage to use their crits, it tends to go horribly wrong!

They tried out a couple of the shotguns but gravitated towards the Scorch Shot instead since it’s fun, easy to use, and makes them feel a lot more useful. They also tried out the Thermal Thruster but can’t quite get it to ‘work properly’, and they tend to jetpack way too aggressively into entire groups of enemies. In the end, the beginner Pyro player usually ends up using the Flamethrower and the Scorch Shot since they’re easy and fun to use. The Pyro player has also picked up a few mismatched Pyro cosmetics and looks hilarious, but they haven’t got a ‘favourite loadout’ just yet!
