So. Valve decided to grace our gas-masked, rubber-suited friend with some new weapon upgrades, unlockables, and a whole lot of new achievements. To add to all this excitement, we’re also seeing two new levels added, and a new video in the “Meet The [class]” videos!
HOW SIMPLY AMAZINGLY FUN :D
A small overview of what’s going on:
Weapon upgrades: The pyro’s flamethrower, when the alternate fire button is pressed, now shoots compressed air! A new and strategic tool, it can be used for various things: killing enemy Soldiers with their own rockets, pushing Medics away from their targets, defending points…possibilities are almost limitless. Now you don’t have to scramble towards the point while a scout is capturing it, wondering in vain if you’re going to get there in time; push him off with a satisfying blast of compressed air! Impress your friends at parties! Get ladies! Whatever!
In addition to this upgrade to the flamethrower, there are also new unlockables.
FLARE GUN:
A replacement of the shotgun, this unlockable is basically a long-range flamethrower, capable of setting enemies on fire from any range. The only problem is that it takes a bit of practice and some good aiming to actually hit anyone not standing still; however, engineers and snipers are now much easier to kill, both being somewhat stationary. It could also be a good Heavy-igniter; why waste your time running up to him and getting yourself drilled by ten thousand bullets when you could sit back at the point and light him up like a cheap barbecue on the fourth of July?
THE BACKBURNER:
An upgrade to the flamethrower, this unlockable takes away compressed air but with a fun new feature: if you ignite an enemy from the back, it’s 100% critical hit. Not only that, but the Pyro is granted 50 extra health.
THE AXTINGUISHER:
With a totally revamped and awesome look, your fire-axe has a new and awesome ability: 100% critical hit if your enemy is on fire. Surely this will usher in a new age of ignite-and-hack strategy.
There are 35 new Pyro achievements, all of which you can read here.
The two new levels are Fastlane, and Turbine.

that’s all
go back to playing tf2 plx
Yeah but you don’t get any of this cause you’re on Xbox, haha.
I’m waiting for them to release all of what they have in a big package for the Xbox. I’m terribly pumped for the Medic stuff, the Pyro stuff not so much because there’s already too many Pyros for such a niche class.
