Community Player Destruction strategy

This article is about Community Player Destruction strategy.

Class-specific strategy

 Scout

As the fastest class, Scout can flank the enemies and get easy kills. They can also use their speed to avoid conflict if they don't want to risk losing their scoring pickups. Always look for flanks to use to get the drop on the enemies. If you are the team leader stay with your team or drop your Player Destruction Pickups (Default key: L) to a trusted Player.

 Soldier

The Soldiers high health, damage and mobility allows him to score kills and quickly rocket jump back to his team, Use your mobilty to Bomb high value targets and quickly escape. Your banners such as the Buff Banner, Battalion's Backup or the Concheror respective buffs can help your team greatly. Your high health makes you a good choice for a team leader.

 Pyro

Using your airblast, you can push away faster classes like Scouts attempting to get the scoring pickup to give you a chance at picking it up before them.

 Demoman

The Demoman with his high health, damage output and ability to place traps allows him to easily score kills. If an enemy team leader is nearby use their weakness of being seen through walls to prepare a sticky trap in advance. Your high health makes you a good choice for a team leader and allows you to bait incoming enemies into traps.

 Heavy

Your high health and devastating damage can allow you to survive longer while also getting a lot of kills. However, your slow movement speed will make you an easy target for Spies and Snipers. Coordinate with faster classes like Scout by killing a lot of enemies and having the Scout pick up the scoring pickups. If your teams Scout is dead, then your high health pool will allow you to save the scoring pickup long enough for your Scout to respawn. Once they respawn, you should drop the scoring pickup (Default key: L) and allow the Scout to take it.

 Engineer

The Engineer with his ability to place Sentry Guns varies in power depending on the map you play on. Be careful where you place it as it can attract more attention to you especially if you are the team leader, however dropping your Player Destruction Pickups are not recommended as its safer to lead more players in your sentry for more Player Destruction Pickups.

 Medic

The Medic with his relatively low health, lack of mobility options and poor weaponry should avoid being the team leader as it allows the enemy team to know your location at all times increasing the risk of being attacked, Instead give pickups (Default key: L) to a trusted player. Your ability to heal damage can reduce the enemy teams amount of kills. Additionally, stick with your Team Leader to lower their chances of dying, which will make the enemy less likely to steal a large amount of your scoring pickups.

 Sniper

The Snipers high damage allows him to pick off high value targets or team leaders from afar. Use the enemy team leaders outline to line up a shot before they come out of cover. Take note of enemies that have killed a large amount of your team, Focus on killing them to give your team more points. Use dropped pickups as bait for the other team by lining up a charged shot and wait for an enemy who tries to take it. Consider using the Machina with a fully charged shot to eliminate enemies hiding behind the team leader. Your low health, mobility and subpar close range weapons make you a terrible team leader instead give your points (Default key: L) to a trusted Player.

 Spy

Spy does not benefit from the team leader buff if he has the most souls, you do not have to worry about your location announced. Pick off enemies who are alone or low on health with your weapon of choice. Do not attack the team leader unless you are certain that you can take them out.
