Team Fortress 2 Tips and Tricks for Beginners

With a few tips and tricks, players can move up ranks faster than their competitors. Some of the Team Fortress 2 tips and tricks for beginners are given below. There are different character classes, each having different abilities. Tips and tricks to master one class are different from other classes.

Team Fortress Class Tips

Scout

Scout is the fastest class in the game but has lower total health than other classes in the game. Players have to use this combination of speed and health to their advantage.

1. Being a scout, you always need to have an escape plan in the back of your mind. Scouts can be easily killed as they have a low health total. In case a player is surrounded by enemies, they need to outrun them in order to survive.

2. The game has the highest base capture/push multiplier for Scouts. Objectives will count as two people on a single objective for scouts.

3. If a player is good with control, they can do some real damage with the default scattergun that a Scout has. Scouts can do a lot of damage with a single shot if a player manages control well.

Soldier

Soldiers have a high health level but they are slow. Being ambulant and responsive can make all the difference if a player chooses to play with a soldier.

1. Soldiers can rocket jump and travel larger distances, which is faster than just walking around. Soldiers can rocket jump on enemy medics and kill them, which badly impacts the enemy team.

2. Soldiers have the ability to fly in on unsuspecting enemies. There is a play-style commonly known as “roamer” associated with a soldier’s ability to fly. The soldiers can jump in on enemies that are alone or on medics and kill them.

3. Players need to predict the speed of rockets, that soldier’s fire and the movement speeds of their enemies. This allows the players to hit targets accurately and render the enemy useless.

Pyro

Pyros work best in close-quarter combat with weapons like a flamethrower, a shotgun, or a fire ax.

1. Players can learn to get the best out of the entire range of weapons if they choose to be a more aggressive pyro. Each weapon has its advantage over the other, and players can choose any weapon that matches their style.

2. Pyros can look for enemy spies in their team and neutralize the threats. Pyros can help engineers by equipping them with weapons that can remove sappers from buildings.

Demoman

Combine demolition and a man; you get Demoman. Demoman is a class expert in explosives and has shields that protect certain kinds of damages.

1. Players can use a Demoman’s shield to become a demoknight during a fight.

2. If players can master to hit enemy targets directly with a pipe from a grenade launcher, it can increase the enemies’ damaging impact.

3. A Demoman can set traps all around the map using his sticky launcher. These sticky launchers help in defending objectives.

4. Players can launch a Demoman in the air using its sticky launcher and get to another place in a short time.

Medic

The medic is a support class that heals teammates on the battlefield. Without a medic, a team can fall apart.

1. A medic uses a medigun to heal, and there are multiple mediguns to choose from. Players have to find out which one is the most useful, depending on the team’s situation.

2. Players need to prioritize which teammates they should heal first. Critically injured players and players that are about to die should be healed first.

3. In the advanced settings, there is an option to continually heal teammates instead of holding down on the right click.

Sniper

If you are looking to kill targets instantly without moving around during combat, the sniper class is for you.

1. A sniper can kill 9 of the five classes in the game. It takes some time to acquire sniping skills, and players can practice against bots to hone their marksmanship.

2. If a player’s sniping abilities are not up to par, they can always use a sniper’s replacement weapon, a bow, and an arrow.

Spy

Spy is a unique class that can infiltrate the enemy team without being heard or seen. If eliminating enemies quietly and swiftly is your style, the spy is the class you should choose.

1. There are multiple cloaking watches a spy can choose from. Each cloaking watch has its attributes that can come in handy depending on a player’s situation.

2. To make an impact, a spy needs to get behind the enemy to make an impact. A player should learn all the routes on the map.

3. It is best to kill an enemy medic first, sneakily. It becomes easier to take down the enemy team once they lose their health supply.

4. It is important to keep speed in mind when choosing a disguise from the disguise kit. A spy would have different speeds in different character classes.

Conclusion

Team Fortress 2 tips and tricks for beginners can make players learn the game and enjoy it. All the character classes are fun to play with; offering a different experience and playstyle players can familiarize themselves with.
