Pyro Unlocks/Achievements Detailed

Shacknews has the full scoop on the upcoming Pyro achievements/unlocks. Pyro will be getting three new weapons; Flare Gun, Backburner and Axtinguisher. As with medic achievements, you’ll unlock them as you complete 12/24/35 achievements.

Check out the weapon details below:

Flare Gun:

This’ll be the first unlock (after you complete 12 achievements) and is able to light people on fire from a great distance. However, it’ll require steady aim.

The first Pyro unlockable is The Flare Gun, which replaces the shotgun. It allows the Pyro to ignite an enemy at long range, but does require careful aim on their part. It’s particularly useful for causing havoc on Snipers and Engineers who want to keep their distance. Read more

Ummm yeah, you can learn bunch of different fighting techniques in X-Blades…

When Ayumi isn’t using her effective combat spells, she faces up to the enemy hordes with naked blades and explosive projectiles. Since the unique Gunblades are a combination of sword and pistol, the heroine can change her combat style lightning-fast. Surrounded by countless opponents, Ayumi uses both blades with deadly accuracy in hand-to-hand combat. She’s well versed in various combat techniques - and she makes full use of them to cut her way through the ranks of the monsters. The player is rewarded with special finishing moves for carrying out particularly successful combos.
