Team Fortress 2 Classes Overview
Offensive
The offensive classes serve as the team's primary attack force. Their roles involve high mobility, whether capturing Contro Points or securing Intelligence.
Scout
The Scout excels in aggressive fighting and flanking. His Double Jump and high mobility allow him to outmaneuver opponents and escape quickly, though his low health pool makes him vulnerable on the front line.
Health: 125
Speed: 133%
Primary: Scattergun
Secondary: Pistol
Melee: Bat
Special Ability: Double Jump
Soldier
The Soldier is a versatile class known for his ability to perform rocket jumps, which allow him to navigate the battlefield quickly and reach unexpected places. Despite his low ground movement speed, he compensates with his rocket jumping ability and a large health pool, making him suitable for offensive and defensive roles.
Health: 200
Speed: 80%
Primary: Rocket Launcher
Secondary: Shotgun
Melee: Shovel
Special Ability: Rocket Jump
Pyro
The Pyro uses a homemade Flame Thrower to fight enemies at close range, causing afterburn damage that allows for hit-and-run tactics. However, the Pyro is weaker at longer ranges and relies on ambushing and taking alternate routes to catch opponents off-guard.
Health: 175
Speed: 100%
Primary: Flame Thrower
Secondary: Shotgun
Melee: Fire Axe
Defensive
The defensive classes prevent enemy access and hold enemies back from crucial map points. Collectively, the defensive group possesses the highest firepower.
Demoman
The Demoman can deal large amounts of explosive damage, directly or through splash damage. However, his weapons' large splash radius can also work against him, causing self-damage if an enemy catches him at close range, making self-defense challenging.
Health: 175
Speed: 93%
Primary: Grenade Launcher
Secondary: Stickybomb Launcher
Melee: Bottle
Special Ability: Stickybomb Jump
Heavy
The Heavy is a defensive class in Team Fortress 2, known for his high health and devastating firepower with his Minigun. Still, his slow movement speed makes him vulnerable to Snipers and Spies, necessitating support from Medics and Engineers to remain effective.
Health: 300
Speed: 77%
Primary: Minigun
Secondary: Shotgun/Sandvich
Melee: Fists
Engineer
The Engineer specializes in constructing and maintaining buildings that support his team, making him ideal for defense. His gadgets include the Sentry Gun, Dispenser, and Teleporters, which help his team rather than engage in frontline combat.
Health: 125
Speed: 100%
Primary: Shotgun
Secondary: Pistol
Melee: Wrench
Support
Support classes are not capable of sustaining a fight independently. However, their unique abilities can significantly influence the game's outcome. These classes provide additional advantages to the offensive and defensive classes, helping to shift the battle in their team's favor.
Medic
The Medic bolsters his teammates near the front lines despite his questionable adherence to medical ethics. His Syringe Gun and Bonesaw are not ideal for direct combat, but he remains crucial for healing wounded teammates while trying to avoid enemy fire.
Health: 150
Speed: 107%
Primary: Syringe Gun
Secondary: Medigun
Melee: Bonesaw
Sniper
The Sniper's main role is to pick off key enemy targets from a distance using his Sniper Rifle, which guarantees Critical hits with headshots. Effective at long range but vulnerable up close, the Sniper often positions himself in high or hidden spots to pin down enemies at chokepoints.
Health: 125
Speed: 100%
Primary: Sniper Rifle
Secondary: SMG/Jarate
Melee: Kukri
Spy
The Spy uses unique cloaking watches to become invisible or fake his death, infiltrating enemy lines undetected. His Disguise Kit allows him to impersonate any class, momentarily fooling enemies and lulling them into a false sense of security. When the time is right, he can strike a killing blow, stabbing his unsuspecting "teammate" in the back with a single hit from his knife, provided they are not invulnerable.
Health: 125
Speed: 107%
Primary: Disguise Kit/Cloaking Watch/Sapper
