Demoman

- Grenades deal heavy damage and explode upon impact! - Heavy Bolter helps with picking off weak targets! - Catch players off guard with your tethermine! - Projectiles are difficult to hit, but have very high damage output! - Powerhouse! In-game description

Demoman is the fifth class listed on the class selection menu, whose weapons are all explosive. Although having little mobility, his weapons allow him to dominate the battlefield thanks to their high damage output. Demoman is one of the best picks for area denial and defense!

Tactics
Playing as


 * Shoot your slot 1 weapon towards areas you expect the enemy to go towards, such as behind corners and key objective points. This acts as both area denial and a way of catching them off guard with your grenades.


 * Your slot 2 weapons are also extremely powerful, so when you feel like the enemy dodges your grenades too much, simply shoot them with your heavy bolter or star streak.


 * Landmines and tethermines follow the same logic with slot 1 weapons, although landmines can also be thrown at random locations and in most cases, they do hit enemies.
 * Tethermines, on the other hand, can be used as a sort of impact grenade due to its short fuse time. Do note that enemies could still destroy it or place it in between an object to prevent themselves from being damaged, although that also gives you time to finish them off with your other weapons.


 * As Demoman has little mobility, try to avoid going out towards the front lines, and instead focus on either defending or sweeping clear of an area with your explosives before going towards it.


 * You cannot always camp an area and fill it with minesweeper mines and landmines, as both of them can be destroyed by an enemy who is aware that it is there. Be sure to keep watch of places that you intend to defend, such as flags and objective points.

Playing against


 * When a Demoman is bombarding an area, try your best to dodge the explosives, or kill the Demoman first so you could safely go towards a location.


 * Always be aware of what you step on, and watch for any landmines/tethermines that occasionally blink red. When using a class that does not have any explosive weapons, its better to just steer clear of suspected areas with mines as it takes more effort to destroy them.

Cosmetics
Demoman, unlike other classes, has its torso color black. His pants are team colored, and his arms skin colored. His hat vaguely resembles a hard hat that has an opaque, white visor at the front.

Trivia
Demoman is the only class to not have any new weapons ever since the game has had its major update and name change.
