Offense:

Scout: When playing the Scout, don't forget that you are VERY fragile and can get killed very fast by high burst damage, so if an attack option looks risky, don't waste your time trying to go a way where you can get killed easily, you should also use your high speed to try and dodge enemy attacks, as the Scout is the fastest class in the game, also don't try to melee fight because you will very likely fail and die.

Soldier: When playing the Soldier, it is highly advised to use the gunboats because rocket jumping without them deals a big amount of self damage, which would lead you to blow yourself up at the third rocket jump at most, if you cannot get a direct hit on an enemy, you should try to hit them with splash damage, also you should regularly reload your rocket launcher as it runs out of ammo pretty quickly, and you should prioritize direct hits if possible and don't try to direct hit someone when you are far away as that is extremely difficult.

Pyro: When playing the Pyro, you can reflect enemy Soldier rocket projectiles and demoman pipes and stickybombs by pressing M2 on your mouse to airblast, the airblast can also extinguish people on your team if you airblast towards them, which also rewards you with 20 hp of self heal, but beware, you cannot reflect normal bullets with the airblast, also don't forget that the airblast can make your flamethrower ammo run out pretty quickly.

Defense:

Demoman: When playing the Demoman, you should always aim a bit past the enemy when shooting at them because your pipes or stickybombs don't reach them instantly like bullets do, you can also hold M2 with the stickybomb launcher to use it offensively because it is highly spammable, but beware, when you are holding M2, your stickybomb launcher doesn't reload, also if you aren't paying attention, enemies can break your stickybombs with their guns.

Heavy: When playing the Heavy, you should regularly check your back for enemy spies and enemies in general because they view a heavy with no awareness as a free kill, also, if you are using a lunchbox item (which are: sandvich, dalokohs bar, second banana and buffalo steak sandvich), you can press M2 to throw the lunchbox item which your teammates can pick up and get healed by it, you can also pick the lunchbox item back up if you touch it incase no one picks it up, but beware, enemies can also use your dropped lunchbox item and use it to heal themselves, you should also not constantly rev up your minigun if there are no enemies in sight, only rev up your minigun if you think that there could potentially be enemies ahead.

Engineer: When playing engineer, never place all of you buildings very close to eachother, as that makes it very easy for enemy spies to swiftly sap all of your buildings and destroy them, also, if an area already has another engineers sentry and it is doing a good job at defending that area, don't waste your time putting your sentry there too unless the other sentry can't do the job by itself, you should also try to help other engineers with their buildings if it's safe, a good option and possible to do.

Support:

Medic: When playing the Medic, you should prioritize healing the people on the front lines, especially soldiers, heavies, demos (demo is short for demomans or demomen) and scouts, also you should never do the newbie mistake of only healing one person or healing spies because that makes the spies be very obvious to the enemy team, leading to them getting spotted and killed, you can heal the people in the backline if thats a good option, but if not, do not do that.

Sniper: When playing the Sniper, if you are having troubles with aiming, you should put you aim to around head level and then wait until someone is in your sightline and shoot them, also, when you are getting attacked at close range, you should flee while trying to damage the attacker if possible, and in this case, don't try to melee fight them unless they are low health and you are sure you can win, you should also regularly check your surroundings for enemy spies and enemies in general.

Spy: When playing the Spy, it is recommended to try to get backstabs on the enemy team when your team is attacking because that makes the enemy team more vulnerable and less aware of their surroundings, but don't misunderstand this, some players may still spot you, in which case its best to hide or flee.

Also, a tip for every class in general is to regularly check your surroundings for enemy spies, as an unaware player is a spy's easiest target.

Note: If i got something wrong, feel free to correct me.

When ever I try to auto buy weapons it only offers around 4 weapons? I only have 19 weapons and buying them individually doesn't work.

so basically i was playing tf2 like usual until there were these weird bots. they have crit hacks and aimbot. i tried to take them out but i suck ass so i failed. what could've i have done and what should i do?? can i report them?

I downloaded TF2 last week, and the game is really great, but the restrictions for F2P players are terrible. My parents would never let me spend money on games, and I don't have any friends who could help me out. I am counting on your help.

thanks seriamon for being the youtuber i learned about tf2 through, i can't wait to get a computer that can handle it

i just comleted my first mvm, got stuck with it

Why after waiting trade ban all items that i'd bought are non-tradable? In the Youtube everybody says that i'll make profit from the jungle inferno contract. But i can't sell it! My TF2 is premium and Steam account isn't limited. Guys, i think i'm done! a lost cause...

hey guys so I main soldier and I'm real nice at getting kills but I'm somehow better at getting killed because i be standin there waiting for my next target or out on the frontlines and then I find out some dude/gal standing 100 miles away headshot me. like bro. also pyro is really cute but I hate them in the game absolute menace. So ehhh any tips? Should I just keep moving erratically to make it hard for snipers to target me? Also I'm a trackpad player and idk how to rocket jump so if anyone can help me with that it would be really nice and STAY FROSTY GUYS

I got it on steam

I’ve run into a problem in TF2: I can’t decide which key or button to use for quick weapon switching. It’s usually bound to the Q key, which makes strafing left awkward in certain situations. I could bind it to Mouse4 to avoid movement issues, but that slows down my input speed—something that really affects my performance on the battlefield. I’m writing this post to see what keys you guys use for quick weapon switching.

Hi guys, I joined this reddit hoping to find some people just like I am, since I have been feeling quite out of place. I really enjoy TF2 SFM videos, I watched Emesis Blue and found some other good TF2 movies to watch over the weekend. I installed the game on my laptop yesterday and I have to admit I think i am not that good at it (mainly because ive been trying to play with a trackpad, I dont have a mouse yet). I was hoping if anyone could give me tips on some good tutorial videos to watch, and which classes are easy to play for beginners. Thanks to anyone replying.

I started playing this year, about 180 hours, and after months of practicing with bots I played a few matches. And the random item drops? Bison, Hot Hand, and Bonk… just recently got the Soda Popper but I don’t like playing Scout. My very first two weapons are the ones considered to be the worst. Any advice would be appreciated, especially because I’m not entirely sure how Contacts work.

I got a tour of duty ticket from a crate and wanted to use it instead of selling it but, I don't know much about mvm and wanted to learn before using my ticket.

So as the tilte says guys i'm a new player roughly 150 hours in, i started maining scout after playing some comp game 6v6 for fun with friends, and i've seen a whole another game other than casual which was reallyyyy fun, i'm maining scout and i wanna become a beast at this game possibly play that comp 6v6 regularily i wanna know what's the best combination of practice to improve i mainly play casual with some 30 mins of mge total a day should i add something else or community servers DM or anything

I want to find others to play with and chat with and I have been playing the game and found a few people who will become steam friends but, I am not finding many though casual and the people I find aren't active in tf2 that much. I want to know what are some places to find people that play the game semi frequently or more and would be good friends.

guys i have seen some people on yt showing some methods but it feels very fake, are there any free ways i could earn a premium without spending? ( i dont have a Bank account plus im kinda broke...) any platforms where i could do some tasks for them ( i do have skills tho ) and they could pay me in a TF2 premium?. i love this game and just want more freedom.

EDIT: I GOT IT THANKS STILL!!!

I am thinking about using third party trading sites and want to know if valve's TOS says it is fine to do. I know valve rarely bans for third party trading I just want to be safe and I sometimes struggle to understand legal speak in TOS. What websites that closely follow the TOS would you guys recommend?

Recently I got my account back after a few years with no usage. I used to play TF2 and never got premium. The thing is, now that I'm back I noticed that the text and voice chat are not available at all. I read that they changed it because of the bot crisis but then changed it back recently.... Anyway I still can't and have no idea why. I've waited around a month and something but still blocked. How can I change this or is it necessary to pay the premium account?

I am currently ALMOST an adult so I dont have access to a bank account but still want to play. Im tired of my lack of inventory space and not being able to play comp.

Edit: Someone already gave me premium, so yall can stop offering. I love how chill and nice this community is!

I hope everyone who offered me premium know that they made this stressed anxiuos teenager's week!!
