The <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://steamgames.com/tf2/pyro/ Pyro Update]'''</span> is a patch for the [[Pyro]] that was released on [[June 19, 2008 Patch|June 19, 2008]]. The Pyro was the second class that was provided with a major content pack. The update also included the first community-made maps that were added to the game, [[Fastlane]] and [[Turbine]]. [[Meet the Sniper]] was released alongside the update, although the video was listed at the bottom of the page rather than as a major part of the patch, similar to the previously released [[Gold Rush Update]]. The update page also featured a link leading to the Valve Developer Wiki, which detailed the design of Team Fortress 2's maps.

The [[Pyro]] class was the focus of this update. In addition to three new weapons, the latent [[Hadouken]] taunt was upgraded to become the first [[Taunts#Special taunts|Kill taunt]]. The update also added [[compression blast]] to the [[Stock]] [[Flamethrower]], an ability that would become a core technique for the class.
 +
 
 +
Two community-made maps, [[Fastlane]] and [[Turbine]], were made official and included in the update, along with a link to the [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page Valve Developer Community] site. ''[[Meet the Sniper]]'' was also introduced in a similar manner to ''[[Meet the Scout]]''. Additionally, many improvements and fixes were included.

The release of the Pyro Update also heralded the arrival of the first [[Taunts#Special_Taunts|taunt kill]], the Pyro's [[Hadouken]] taunt, which instantly kills enemies within range. The update also added the [[compression blast]] to the original [[Flamethrower]], something that soon became a core technique of the [[Pyro]]'s skill set.

The update was released in the {{Patch name|6|19|2008}}.
