Here, you will be taught how to play safely, and responisbly during your gaming expedition(s) into the new and improved, TF2 Tough Break update. If you are new here and have not been delighted by the magical presence of TF2, then pay close attention to this guide, as it will definitely help you during your journeys.

• 1(or more)friend
  
• The phlogistinator Pyro flamethrower
  
• The Scorch Shot flare gun
  
• Quick-Fix Medi-gun(Stock medi-gun works, but is not as good)
  
• Blind luck

1. Going into any game, make sure your friend(s) are on the same team as you
   
2. If you joined during set-up time, switch to stock so you can uber, otherwise stick to the Quick-Fix
   
3. Whomever is playing the medic(s), pocket whomever is playing the Pyro. Do not leave Pyro, do not heal anyone else, and especially do not uber pre-maturely.
   
4. For Pyro, use the scorch shot to quickly build-up your Mmmph meter against targets at far range, and use your phlogistinator at close range. Remember, you can also knock targets back with the scorch shot, and those whom are on fire get knocked back further. Use this to push enemies back if retreating.
   
5. Once you have filled up your Mmph meter, notify your medic friend(s). If your medic friend, or one of your medical pals have an uber ready, then continue to step 6. If not, wait until you have uber.
   
6. Go deep into enemy territory, and as soon as whomever is playing the Pyro activates his Mmph! rage, the medic will activate his uber(or if under heavy enemy fire, activate uber before, if neccessary).
   
7. Proceed to make a BBQ out of your enemies.
   
8. Repeat steps 3-5 until satisfied, tired, or have been voted off.

Hopefully this guide will have helped you improve your longevity in the TF2 apocolyptic winter. Good hunting!

A warning to all players, new and old. The Spycrab and Pootis-Bird population has reached an all-time low this update. We encourage all players to be mindful of who you show your well earned ammunition to. Be cautious as to not hinder the regrowth of these magnificent creatures, as they are both a crucial part of the TFEcosystem. Without the Pootis-Birds, we would not have our precious life-saving sandviches, and without the glorious spycrabs, we wouldn't be able to trade amongst our peers, enemies, and mutual friends alike, as we use spycrabs to safely transfer goods from one another when neccessary. How do you think we manage to transfer those strange hats that possess magical abilities? Who do you think MAKES them?!
