Battle Archers
It is a common fact that regular snipers play the game awhile before they get a huntsman. Battle Archers are snipers who dont care about anything else eccept getting there kill. They usaully head strait into battle with arrows soaring over the battlefield. Even if the odds are very slim, they try anyway. they lack strategy but do make a decent kill for awhile. They are very helpful for distraction so other snipers can kill the others.


Pros: can kill a couple of spawn campers and is a distraction to anybody that goes near them. They CAN be dangerous if the archer has a long expierence with their bow.

Cons: They can be an easy target and can be killed quickly which is a good advantage for the other team.

How to be killed: They are empty-headed brutes with bows, what do you think?. use a pyro, soilder, or sniper when they arent looking or directly shoot them that way.

Any kind of bow

Awesome Archers
Awesome Archers are half a Battle Archer, but arguably so. they dominate a few people or two, but can take the advantage in the battlefield. They are user-friendly elite archers who use the bow as the almighty weapon of power. They usaully are killed after they killed about 2 or 3 players atleast. Only Mastermind Archers can kill them without breaking a sweat. They can be dangerous to all classes if the other team messes up.

Pros: They can just about kill any noob that stands in their sight of range. They are good for scaring hordes of baby snipers. If they think they can kill that guy, they WILL kill that guy in due time (lol)).

Cons: Just like battle archers, they go out of the same door in spawn, which is a target for spawn campers. They can be killed easily if they cannot see which is a bad thing to happen in arena mode. they cant kill ANY untouchable pyro unless their lucky. try being a retartded ninja and jump around like a maniac and kill them. awesome archers arent usaully use to killing players who jump around alot.....

How to kill them: Use a pyro, a soilder, or a spy to kill them when they arent looking.

Troll Archers
Troll Archers have the skill of an Awesome Archer but use it as a tactic to annoy everybody. They are unfriendly game players with full lack of consideration to anybody. They dont care about anything. They will mic spam, camp, and harrass anybody on the server with them. They can find good camping spots and shoot you where you will least likely expect.. They taunt-kill anybody who doesnt notice them in a second and will change their name constantly to stop you from reporting them (or not). They have several weaknesses that make them vulnerable though. They also pretend to be a "friendly" player to people on "those" kind of servers until they get a chance to backstab them with a taunt-kill.

Pros: can camp constantly in least noticible spots. love being with other trolls

Cons: they dont know they are infront of unfriendly enemies and get killed in a second. they annoy their team like crazy and sometimes push them off a ledge. they are your worst enemy, but can be killed easily if the other team knows where they are camping at.

How to kill them: you can use any class as long as you know where he is camping at. but a pyro, or soilder can be suited nice though.

Mastermind Archers
Archers that had WAY more expierence in the game than any other. that recently came to be known as a "super elite" gamer. They have the power and capabality of 10 Awesome Achers! they know how to overcome foes with multiple strategies. the can get out of every single spawn camp, trap, and difficulty without fear of anything overcoming them. they overwhelm their enemies and have diffrent succesful strategies and plans to bewitt their foes. they are immortal to any elite and noob in the game and do not tolorate dominations kindly. they are the most dangerous kind of archers. they are either team friendly or work solo. one thing you will know, there will be an arrow stuck in your head before you even completely make it out of your spawn.

Pros: they can kill all players of every class in every way possible. not even untouchable pyros can survive them. they also can be a good team players too!

Cons: demomans can usaully spawn camp them, but they dont come out often when they see that.

How to kill them: use sticky launchers with demoman to spawn camp every single entrance in there spawn. but be careful, team-strategist mastermind archers can get out of that trick really quick!

Finally, you got there. How to be a Good Archer
Game Basics

You should already know that you need a bow. But there are other things you should learn, secrets to be unlocked. Most people think a bow in TF2 is a OP luck weapon gifted by the devs. Thats not true at all. The bow acts as a bow in really life: it can go far and more strait if you pull it further and it has the elements of a projectile just like the crusaders crossbow. The best way to get a kill with a bow is to get really close to them and just shoot, dont even pull the arrow back! easy as that, you automaticly get a body shot or head shot on the sucker. Now if u like long-ranged attacks, its going to be a bit harder. Aim randomly at an enemy target and pull your arrow back. Move around around or aside from the target while holding the arrow back. let go and move like a crazy man behind your spawn or go back to spawn if ur out of it. its a great escape plan made by yours truly XD. besides that though, make sure to shoot them where they are moving towards. if they move to the left, you shoot ahead of them, hoping you will get a headshot or atleast a body shot. this is just basic stuff.


True Archers
True archers never use guns! They use TACTICS. yes, one of the many wonders of archers is their tactics. you need strategies, tactics, and your guts to be a true archer. here are some helpful tips:
  • Try diffrent strategies to work things out. Dont stick with the same one and be a fool-hardy battle archer!
  • Your Huntsman is like a lightsaber: it is your life! use it wisely
  • Do not fear or doubt any tactic you are willing to do. Do it and if you fail, you atleast wont make the same mistake twice.
so now

now that you heard all of my wisdom of expierence, go out there and kick butt!

Another Thing
There is a group called The Society Of Awesome Archers that trains and fights every day with their bow at their side in tf2. if you would like to know more or atleast have help, join our group!
