Pyrotechnics

Kill 3 enemies in a single übercharge.


Ah, the counterpart to the Autoclave medic achievement. However, unlike Autoclave, you must actually kill the enemies to get the achievement. The best way to do this normally is to get a medic attached to you when you are a pyro and rush the opposing positions. As soon as you start taking fire, have the medic activate the über and then go on a killing rampage. As long as your rush isn't stopped by air blasts or a pesky level 3 sentry, you should be able to get the achievement without an issue. This is a good achievement to attempt in tandem with Arsonist.

To farm this achievement, join up with so friends that are farming the medic achievements. Have one of them start healing you until he gets übercharged, and then slaughter them while invincible. You should get this achievement, and the medic should get Autoclave and Bedside Manner, if he doesn't have them already. Just make sure your other friends are willing to be burned in a pyre of destruction, otherwise you may end up with some hurt feelings. And that's never any fun.

Tip: You can kill the enemies with anything, so igniting them and then using the axetinguisher is a great way to rack those kills up.

Arsonist

Destroy 50 Engineer buildings.


This one is almost a perfect fit for offensive pyros. If you happen to be with a great medic, let him über you and then make a push into an enemy base. Anything short of a level 3 sentry won't push you back enough to keep you from rushing forward. Just in case, though, having your medic go first during the über is a great way to lure the sentry fire while allowing you to move forward. If you don't feel like base rushing, look for teleporter exits and destroy them.

To farm this, just have an engineer continually build dispensers, teleporter entrances, and teleporter exits in front of you. Torch them, but be careful not to kill the engineer, otherwise you'll have to wait while he respawns to continue getting the achievement. After a little bit, you should get it. You can keep track of how many buildings you've destroyed on the current map by looking on the scoreboard.

Tip: The buildings don't have to be finished in order for them to count. If you catch an engineer in the middle of building, roast him and his stuff.

Dead Heat

Kill an enemy in the same second that he kills you.


This one you will most likely get by accident through normal play. If you are torching someone and they manage to kill you right before they die, but they die from the flames anyways, you'll get the achievement. Because of this, it's a great achievement to try and get with the weaker classes like scout, sniper, engineer, or spy. Like the achievement says, you must kill them within a second of them killing you, so you have exactly one second before the achievement can't be gotten.

To farm this, have a friend be an enemy pyro. Stand right up next to each other, and at the exact same time use your flamethrowers. You will, with any luck, get a double KO easily. Then you'll get the achievement. You can also try this with any other class, like soldier, by torching them until they are almost dead and then having them kill you at the last instant. Immediately after, they should die from the flames. Voila, achievement obtained!

Tip: This can only be done with weapons that cause ignition, so flamethrower, backburner, and flare gun only.

Pilot Light

Ignite a rocket-jumping Soldier while he's in midair.


There's two ways to do this through normal play. The first way is to keep watch on the battlements of 2fort. Make sure you have your flare gun equipped. As soon as you seen a soldier rocket jump, set him on fire with a nice shot from your flare gun. As you only have to set him on fire, it still counts. The other method is to loiter around your base, waiting for an unsuspecting soldier to rocket jump close enough to you that you can set him on fire. You may want to do this on the battlements to surprise soldiers that are rocket jumping onto them.

To farm this, get an enemy soldier to rocket jump in front of you. Near the end of his fall, set him on fire. You should obtain Pilot Light, and all is well with the world. If a medic is on the other team, they can also try and go for Medical Intervention. It's extremely easy to farm if you get a soldier willing to rocket jump in front of you.

Tip: You can ignite them at any point during the rocket jump. This includes both going up and coming back down.

Freezer Burn

Provide enemies with freezecam shots of each of your taunts.


This one is very similar to the Autopsy Report achievement of the medic update. However, unlike the medic update, you don't need to take a screenshot and you don't need to be standing over their body. To do this, just make sure you keep an eye on the kills in the top right. As soon as you notice your name up there as getting a kill, press G. If you do it fast enough, it'll catch you in the taunt with the freezecam. Do it once per taunt (flaming hadouken, air guitar, victory pose) and you'll get the achievement.

To farm this achievement, get three friends willing to die for you. Kill them each in turn with each weapon you need to taunt with, and taunt as soon as they die. After the third person falls, you'll get the achievement. You need to do this with the axe, flamethrower, and shotgun each.

Tip: If someone burns to death far away from you, the freezecam still zooms in on you. So when you see an enemy die to your flames in the top right, make sure to taunt.
