Which Is Better? Detonator, Flare Gun Or Scorch Shot!

Flare gun can deal no damage to your self

[beee]

In a 6v6 or 9v9 environment scorch shot is the best by far, although people can have their preference. Before the jungle inferno update it was a choice between flare and shotgun but degreaser is now next to useless.
Scorch shot is a reliable way to screw with a sniper or force someone to back up. A scout or soldier playing on flank can't afford losing 60 health from a range they can't retaliate from, especially when scorch has a blast radius.

i use scorch shot for that

[detonator man]

I get this discussion is dead but with the new axtinguisher it works really well, plus your flamethrower will cover for you in the reload times

[Pharmaceuticø]

flare gun by far

[Nipotazzi]

I dont use the flare gun, detonator for flying whit the monster, scorch shot its awesome, it makes an amezing combo whit the degreaser but is stupid whit the plogh. I suggest to use the shotgun whit the stock flametrower.

if you'r using the shotgun on pyro you're better off just playing scout

except no? the shotgun is by far the best secondary for combat, since it has constant damage and is hitscan

Scorch shot is very effective if you want to deal grouped damage, Dosen't kill very often, but good for harrasing enemies, Its good to harras enemies from far away, also if you can't aim.

Flare gun is great if you can aim, i can't though lol

detonator idk but i hear its great for flare jumping, all though i think you'll almost never need to flare jump, it deals damage and isn't always benefical.

I would say use the scorch shot, but don't expect to get that many kills

thats what i meant when i said its good for harrasing enemies but not good for killing
(check the players hits and the kills)

[vycka]

pyros who use the scorch shot just cant aim flares so they use it as a crutch

Scorch Shot, the hitboxes in TF2 get worse every year. Scorch gives you an aoe/ long range fireball. I'll juggle people for days with my scorch shot, and spend 90% of the time not using any other weapon but that.
