As his name implies, the Demoman excels in demolishing things. He packs the most firepower in the game with a [[Weapon:Grenade Launcher|Grenade Launcher]], [[Weapon:Pipe_Launcher|Pipe Launcher]], [[Grenade:MIRV|MIRV Grenades]], and a [[Buildable:Detpack|Detpack]]. Each of these weapons has lots of explosive power and thus the Demoman can create seemingly endless amounts of spam with them. The trade-off is the close to medium range nature of the Demoman and that the weapons themselves are a challenge to use. Instinctual aiming nature is thrown out the window because of the Demoman's arcing projectile weapons. The aspiring Demoman must learn how and where to use each of his weapons, lead his targets, and gain a deep understanding of the game's physics. |
The Demoman's primary weapon is his grenade launcher, which has two separate fire modes: timed detonation and remote detonation. The two types take up separate weapon slots and each has its own time and place to be used. The remote detonation pipe bombs make the Demoman an excellent area control specialist. He can completely cut off attack routes in his base and funnel the enemy offense straight into the waiting hands of the rest of his team. | The Demoman's primary weapon is his grenade launcher, which has two separate fire modes: timed detonation and remote detonation.

By selecting weapon slot 6, a Demoman can lay a detpack. The detpack is an extremely powerful explosive that instantly kills anything within its blast radius. It can also destroy certain parts of levels and thus open up new pathways. The downside of a detpack is that it takes a long time to set. Scouts can disarm detpacks. | By selecting weapon slot 6, a Demoman can lay a detpack. The detpack is an extremely powerful explosive that instantly kills anything within its blast radius.
