I'm not even sure how you could accomplish that. Did you just switch to the flare gun immediately?

I did, in fact, spend a day specifically trying to do nothing but get achievements on a 24/7 2Fort map while not really playing legitimately. But generally someone is either dead from my fire, or else killing me in my face, with little in between.

Of continous non-stop fire?

In the ADHD world of TF2, that is an eternity my friend.

And it assumes that the HEAVY of all classes will not have to stop and grab some ammo.

It's called making friends with a dispenser while defending any payload map.

I didn't say it never happens, but you have to be playing against an EXTRAORDINARILY BAD TEAM to get it.

I guess you could fire for a minute during setup and piss everyone off

Brentai · « **Reply #246 on:** March 05, 2009, 09:38:52 AM »

Just stand next to a locker and hold down the fire button. You might annoy a few people but you'll probably avoid getting kicked before you get the thing.

Otherwise yeah stand next to a dispenser and fire continuously and at everybody who gets close. Engies will not yell at you for that.

That was one of those achievements I just crashed an empty server to get.

JDigital · « **Reply #248 on:** March 05, 2009, 09:46:56 AM »

Yeah, I think I got my achievement by firing by the locker in spawn.

Dispensers are really underestimated as a defensive unit. A pyro or heavy can stand adjacent and fire continuously, including a spy-killing dose into every ally and suspiciously empty doorway. At level 3 the dispenser also heals as well as a medic.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #249 on:** March 05, 2009, 10:09:55 AM »

That's because we engineers hate constantly replacing exploded dispensers.

I got that achievement by stuffing the guns of my fallen enemies into Sasha as I walked forward, the harbinger of death.

Lvl 3 dispensers actually heal a little slower than a medics normal heal rate, 20/sec vs 24/sec

why - why would you finish off players with the shotgun THE FLAMES ARE ALREADY SCORCHING THEM THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD

Even more than what Bal said about damage, when I am playing pyro, I'll often lite up 3 people at a time and I can't only hold one of those people to the flames for long enough to kill them outright. At that point, unless the other two weer really caught off guard or are slower classes, they are running, running clear of flamethrower range. This is when the shotgun becomes the best thing for the pyro to have, you already have the advantage of your initial fire damage plus any burn damage to come, so 40-80 damage per shot depending on how much spray hits them is really all you need to come out the champion.

Also, while shotgunning, you can dodge around and not take everything in the face very easily. This is not really the case when you are (w + m1)ing unless you can get a good circle strafe going on a slow class.

Really, the main victim of my post burn shotgunnery: Medics. Doctors have 105% movespeed from the base, so chasing after them with flame thrower if you didn't manage to backburnner them into the ground from the get go is often a losing proposistion. You can still get them like that, their only ranged weapon is fairly shitty, but you can kill them a lot faster with two good shotgun blasts after your initial roasting. Reserve the Axetinguisher for slowpokes like Soldiers and Heavies that you can't get to the back of to back burn due to being spotted or being blocked out by other bodies on his team

The dispenser will never betray you.

Plus you can't stand on Medics and jump around on the scenery to put sentries where nobody ever expects you to put sentries.

Most Spies don't stand still long enough for you to use them to build shit in rage-inducing locations, though.
