Turn that French Spy into a French Fry

"The only time the homewrecker even needs to come in to play is when the engi's already dead..." That's why I use homewrecker everytime I pybro because the engies I protect are usually new players

Im a pybro myself i love the feeling when you just deflect all the rocket and demo pills And you just know "i saved this nest"

As a Pyro main and a Pybro, I feel like I should clarify some things: Mmmrpgh crpyha drghya! Murr hurr mphuphurrur, hurr mph phrr... *laughs in Pyro and turns a spy into crème brûlée* Hur hur hum... Mmphn frphha herrpha. Mmmphya harrgh mrgha hrghgph! Yah fuddah gon den dey fhumah Thank you all for your attention. Keep it up, Enigeers and Pybros. You are the backbone of a good defense

When you throw mad milk on a spy then flame him you get french toast?

2:29 This hero reflected the pill knowing it will kill him, to prevent it from dmging the sentry.

"I love the homewrecker" *divorce lawyers would like to know your location*

Definitely a good message. However, whenever I'm feeling generous and go Pybro, Spies almost NEVER stick around. They'll sap the sentry and book it, probably because they KNOW they'd get a fresh serving of W+M1 otherwise.

I literally have ran back to spawn and swapped to pyro from medic just to remove a sapper from a teleporter of a dead engineer worst medic 2016 possibly best pybro 2016

"Got-damn baguette-boy gone and put a sapper on yonder gun." -Texas Builder man

One time, I was turtling in 2fort's Intel room when a friendly f2p pyro came down with a homewrecker. You'd think that f2ps are not very knowledgeable about the game and different playstyles, but this guy knew what he was doing. He helped with spychecking and defending my nest. But some trytard from our team noticed that he wasn't on the front lines, and called to vote kick him claiming he was AFK over voice chat, and his vote passed. A Pybro was kicked from a Casual 2fort server for deciding to lend a hand to his friendly Engineer.

The english language the way it's spoken in texas: Spy - Spah sapping - sapin my - mah sentry - sentrah

If the engie is dead he should airblast the spy away, homewreck, then get between the spy and the building w/ flame gun.

That pyro was so dedicated to saving your sentry he airblasted the grenade into his feet and died. We need more people like this.

“It appears a skilled French agent of tactical combat and espionage has placed a item of electric stopping power onto the top of my deadly placeable motion detecting stationary sentry turret, please help me in removing this threat of death from the immediate area of me and deadly placeable motion detecting stationary sentry turret, it also has seems that this skilled agent of tactical combat and espionage has place another item of electrical application removal onto my stationary ammo dispensing medical combat station, but it seems the deadly French agent of espionage has set a ‘electro sapper’ onto my stationary two part fast travel science machine, please, red colored man in a full fire retardant suit equipped with a shotgun and flame dispensing primary, assist me in removing this tactical agent of combat and espionage from my placements and the immediate area, and assist me in removing the items of electric application removal from my stationary support building powered by electricity!” -The man from Harvard university that commonly wears a RED construction uniform paired with safety goggles and a yellow construction helmet, that constructs electrical buildings, equipped with a shotgun, pistol, and wrench

But Uncle Daaaaaaaane, I was removing the sapper first, the Engy should focus on the spy, not meee..

"spahs sapin mah sentrah" ~ the engikeer character in Team Forter 2

I may be four years late, but the very end where the Pyro literally reflects/jumps on a pill for you is something I do so often for my team. It’s terrifying seeing a pill roll around and risking half my team.

This reminds me of something that happened in TF2 a couple of days ago. There was a pybro fiercely guarding the intelligence and the engi nest in there, and he kept airblasting me out when he melted my spycicle. So I called him the spy using X-2 and said in voice chat "Aha! YOU were the spy the whole time!" He proceeded to spaz out his screen and use a bind that made him explode. It made me laugh so much. And no, I did not take advantage of his death. I was too busy laughing to do anything except hit the kill bind (and of course, laugh)

"Thank you for taking the Homewrecker and not taking the Phlog" -and engineer

"You go ahead and turn that smelly burglar into ftench fry." -Uncel Dan de engeh meihn

I’m a pyro main myself. Sometimes I’ll go near a nest and go crazy with my flamethrower checking if any spies are around

Honestly this feels like a given, I haven't encountered a single pyro in my whole career who has only homewrecked the sapper and didn't help go for the spy. I appreciate the video though Dane, the awareness (or reminder) is nice, but, I don't really know anyone who didn't know this besides the guy who's had the game for 3 hours.

Of course he wasn't a Pybro. True Pybros use the Maul.

“If a spy is sapping the sentry you’ll have to keep removing the sapper and hope someone comes along and helps” Or you can just smack them in the face with that wrench of yours Edit: I understand that you can get trickstabbed, but this is just to point out that you aren’t completely helpless

"There's a spaah creepin' around here" ~the engiknee charactar in Team forter 2

Hey Uncle Dane. I have watched all of your videos. I am your biggest fan. I have 40 fan-made posters about you in my house, I shaved 200 beards to you for Uncle Dane's red-texted beard, and I never go a day without watching 20 of your videos. I know what weapons you're going to use and exactly what you are going to do in every video since I know you so well. There is only one question I have not found the answer to though.... What HUD do you use?

But mah strange homewrecker with sappers destroyed part. lol Just kidding I always flame the spy airblast him away then unsap the sentry so it kills him it's funny. Tend to get salt in chat from enemy spies for it.

As a pybro, I appreciate this lesson/message to us. I will try and work to do these points in the video

Me when I'm using the Widowmaker/Shotgun/Frontier Justice/Literally other Engineer primary: * stays protecting the intel * Me when I'm using the Rescue Ranger: *_"It's time to kick ass and chew two bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum..."_*

"Turn that smelly burglar into a French Fry" Uncle Dane 2016 OMG that's the best way to say it xD

1:45, what if... you... southern hospitality....

I don’t need no homewrecker to be a pybro I just use the neon annihilator to remove the sappers.

Oh this hilarious thing happened when I was on upward payload. After B was capped, I saw three Level 3 Sentries (and Dispensers, and teleporters next to said Dispensers asking for free telefrags) BLU had just outside RED's old Spawn door with an Engineer and three homewrecker Pyros. I ran around sapping everything like mad while the Engineer (think he might have been new, his casual level was low, he had no hat, and he later complained in chat that it wasn't fair he couldn't remove the sappers faster than I placed it and that it was fundamentally unfair that one Spy could beat 4 players) and the pyros kept trying to remove the sappers. I literally ran around in circles so that every time a building was de-sapped, another could be placed. Since I had no cooldown and was sapping 9 buildings, they predictably lost everything even without the help of the RED Soldier who I was hoping would shoot the Engineer, or even use his shovel he had equipped while he was staring at me. After the buildigns were destroyed, one pyro switched to the flamethrower, lit me on fire, air blasted me back to the "RED Soldier" (I just noticed 1 Heavy and 1 Pyro were our only power classes and we didn't even have a Soldier) who backstabbed me with his Kunai. Not sure why all the Engineers built so close together (at least they weren't _literally_ next to each other so there was some protection against splash damage). I'm not sure why one of the two missing Engineers went to the frontlines to play a slow Scout (the other was dead so he has an excuse). I'm not sure why the BLU spy waited half a minute to backstab me. I perfectly understand the BLU pyros thinking (incorrectly) the first thing to do was removing the sappers. I'm also not sure how this BLU team capped B considering no less than three times we pushed all the way to BLU spawn and started putting stickies on the spawn door. The third time they broke the hold we had on their spawn, our three Engineers reestablished control over the B region (usually BLU's new holding zone), and the three BLU ex-Engineers (they swapped to Heavies, Demomen, and Snipers after I got rid of their stuff), became an Engineer, Pyro, and Demoman turtling the BLU spawn. The other 9 BLU players had a descent team composition, but I think we were just the better shots since they never dislodged us from the "passive hold" area of B, although they did manage to sap and destroy our forward placement a few times.

I just use the homewrecker because I like the way it looks and its satisfying getting a kill with a weaker than stock weapon is that bad

As a part-time pybro, I thank you for the recognition, sir.

You know this was 4 years ago, but watching this video again just makes me wanna play some more pybro again

Oh, Thank You, most people don’t know what a Pyrbro is, so I really like when people remember

Finally someone other than me said it, there is practically no reason to equip homewrecker, but personally, even when the engineer is dead its practically not worth it considering how low on health the sentry will be at once yu remove the said sapper, and 90% of the time it'll go down BEFORE engineer even gets to respawn

Hey Uncle Dane, I'm a french TF2 player and i wan't to speak for everyone who is not fluent or english-native, could you add subtitles to your awesome videos ? Thank you

When I'm playing engy and I get the good fortune of having a pybro at my back I'm always super thankful because it basically removes spies from my worries and focus on the doin my job! Thanks to you guys and gals out there hard at work!

When you main spy, engineer,pyro

Dear Uncle Dane, I get it, sincerely. Focusing on sappers is only a good way for the buildings to get destroyed. However, a home wrecker or neon (word I can't spell) are essential to the class. If the engie's been back stabbed or killed in any way, we need a form of sapper removal to properly doing our job of keeping the French fries away from that sentreh. Now, if a pybro is confident enough, he can go after spies using the Powerjack, but there's no guarantee he'll get anywhere. Sincerely, Pybro

My standard Pybro loadout is: Flamethrower Scorch Shot Homewrecker The Pybro's job doesn't stop at killing Spies. A good Pybro is also pushing Ubers away, reflecting spam, and making long-range enemies think twice before they start pushing. A trusty ol' Flamethrower gets the job done. It has the cheapest airblast cost, meaning I can reflect more rockets, airblast more Heavies, and generally do my job better. The Degreaser is nice for those clutch Homewrecker removals, but like you said, any Engie worth his salt is usually on it. The Scorch Shot gives me even more area control, letting me easily check for Spies from afar, ignite Snipers who might have a sightline, and generally be a nuisance. I tend to use the Homewrecker when I see unattended buildings get sapped, such as when the Engineer gets killed by the Spy, the Engineer is too far away, or any other situation where I am the only one there to remove the sapper. Then, I kill the Spy, because everyone loves a dead Spy. While other melees are usually a better option, there are moments where having the Homewrecker means the difference between a building staying up and going down, and that can determine the outcome of the game. If I'm devoted to defending my Engie and his nest, I'd rather have that option than a bit of extra movespeed or health pack value.

as a pyro main that always has the homewrecjer and stock flamethrower, i appriciate this messege, and will learn what you said and continue on in tf2, helping the engineer

The homewrecker comes to place when the engine dies and the sapper and spy are still alive

I use the home wrecker whenever I'm doing defensive pyro, especially on ctf. You never know when the engi will get backstabbed and you can help save the nest after killing the spy.

Don't forget about the Neon Annihilator.

thank you for bringing a point i might have started a few years after this vid but thanks

Thank you, Uncle Dane. I remember when I used to use the homewrecker like thst, but I went for the powerjack after some expeirience.

Dane, don't you realize, most pyros don't put on the homewrecker thinking, "I'll help out my engi with this" they think "Imma try and kill a sentry with this." Nah but really are there actually "pybros" that just smack the sapper off? I always flame around, fire off the scorch shot just in case of really shitty mojo, if I find a spy, it's more brain dead than the gibuses on my team. Then if the sapper isnt already gone, i smack it with the homewrecker, then go back to reflecting shitloads of spam.

I only go pyro if there's at least 2 engies on my team, because that means the other team will likely have spies. as such, I always have my Homewrecker equipped. Gotta protect those Gibus Engies Somehow, after all.

Thanks,Dane This really helped with my pybro skills!!

Thanks for the advice, this will help me be a better Pybro main :)

how to keep your friend' sentry safe with demoman: 1 drop some stickies under the building(s) 2 wait for a spy and activate it, depending on how many stickies you had there, he wont survive even with dead ringer 3 profit?

*Turn that smelly burglar into a french fry.* lol

We need more of these.

As a engineer I will thank all of you for helping us all

I'm that one guy who decides to use the Neon Annihilator apparently.

well , the homewrecker is still pretty good for pybros , one time I saw an engie get back stabbed and have his buildings sapped , I chased the spy out and just before the sentry went down I removed the sapper .

I’ve recently tried being a Pyrbro, the way I do it is to be more like a bodyguard I check every teammate that comes near & cook every spy who attempts to hurt the nest. Makes it better that one of my best friends mains Engi so we combo well :)

I mained Pybro for so goddamn long lol I remember when this was posted and I was just so happy to be in an Uncle Dane video lol

Spies literally never stick around normally, ESPECIALLY if they know there's a Pybro there. They normally either sap the sentry and try to backstab the engie, backstab the engie and die to the sentry, get both and die to the Homewrecker pybro, or just sap and invisibly escape.

take away the homewrecker me:pulls out the pyroshark weapon thing which removes sappers

That pybro at the last scene must've been proud of himself of defending your sentry

The rush of defending a nest from an Uber push, a soldier, and a spy is awesome. You work with your engineer buddy and at the end, you get that awesome feeling of “yeah, I saved the game”

Fact: Scorch shot is the flaregun of choice. Do not use the flare gun ffs.

If I am using the powerjack i feel so guilty when my engie's sentry is being sapped, I just look at it like ' I wish I could of helped....sorry '

Thanks Uncle! I'll make sure to be more aware of my mistakes and improve. Thanl you!

The homewrecker was one of my first weapons I've gotten in the game and from that moment on I was a pybro... Will never forget that day.

You don't need pybros to kill the spy, you just need tryhards

Wait, you mean other Pyro's aren't already doing this? Wtf my fellow pyros? What are you doing!?!

As a pyro main/pybro myself, I always help my fellow engineers. So I appreciate this message

That one time you don't equip homewrecker, Spies: *IT'S SAPPIN TIME*

That's weird, my Overwatch doesn't look that way, is that a new texture/map pack?

Rest in spaghetti never forgetti

Thanks for the advice Ill have this in mind

That guy that airblasted that pill for your sentry was a real pybro

Why does he always put gullible in the description?

Dear Pybros. I don't care. Good day.

The two items they brought up on the screen when talking about the offensive loadouts is literally my primary and secondary for engi

The best thing I hear when I play pyro is my engie saying in voice chat "Pyro thank you so much for that spy kill"

but i use the neon annihilator :( I haven't found a homewrecker

Guys, imagine if the pyro could equip the rescue ranger. It's a shotgun replacement, so it could be possible. That would be amazing.

Usually when I use the Homewrecker, I go for the sapper first, then I keep my eye on the building(s) for a little bit to see if they get re-sapped, then go and kill the spy and remove the sapper again if it is required

I have had the Homewrecker equipped for at least half a year so far. And yet I have never seen a sapped sentry as pyro. I think it's working.

As a demoman main , I only have one disire , DONT REFLET MY PIPES YOU SON OF BITCHES.

Dane I’ve dedicated my gameplay to be a support/defense player, Maining Pybro, Engie, and Medic. I did this because hearing someone appreciate and thank me for what I’ve done and then continue to enjoy the game because of that warms my heart. I never truly felt like I was getting support from people, so I support everyone in game because it makes me feel happier, but more importantly makes everyone else happy. That’s what I strive for.

Thanks man. I'll use this knowledge for good.

Thank you. Not many people notice what we impact the round.

First atk the saped bulding atk spy atk sapped bulding than taunt

under 20 minutes club

From a member of the Pybros league United, we thank you

dear pybros, remove a spy first, then remove a sapper, because EVERY TIME the spy sapping the building, every time engineer have to hear all of these sounds. Don't annoy your bros.
