What are the special abilities of each class

team-fortress-2

In TF2, I have noticed that some classes have special abilities. For example:

  • Scouts can double jump
  • Spys can cloak
  • Pyros can air puff.

Now I know this is a pretty basic question, but what are all the special abilities of each class?

I know there may be multiple abilites for some classes, so could you please list them all.

It's sometimes difficult to define what would count as special abilities, rather than weapon traits, but I'll give it a go.

Scout:

  • Double jump
  • Highest move speed
  • Fast but weak melee attack
  • Low Health

Soldier:

  • Rocket jumping
  • Slow speed
  • High health

Pyro:

  • Immune to afterburn
  • Most flamethrowers can airblast enemies/projectiles
  • Many weapons set enemies on fire and/or are effective against burning enemies

Demoman:

  • Sticky jumping (and, less common, grenade jumping)
  • Can leave stickybombs and detonate them later
  • Massive burst damage potential
  • Slow reload
  • Can swap out one or both of his ranged weapons to become stronger at melee - known as a demoknight

Heavy:

  • Highest health of any class
  • Slowest speed
  • Miniguns require spinning up, making Heavy even slower

Engineer:

  • Can build a sentry, which fires on enemies**
  • Can build a dispenser, which heals and resupplies allies**
  • Can build teleporters, which instantly send teammates** from on loaction to another
  • Can repair and upgrade any building, even ones built by other teammates
  • Low health

Medic:

  • Can heal allies**
  • Builds ubercharge by healing
  • Natural health regeneration
  • Slightly faster than most classes

Sniper:

  • Sniper rifles have no damage falloff
  • Sniper rifles do not randomly crit and always crit on headshots
  • Sniper rifles charge while zoomed in and deal more damage the longer they are zoomed in.
  • A fully charged headshot deals 450 damage and will one-shot almost anything
  • Low health

Spy:

  • Can disguise as enemies or teammates
  • Can use cloak to become invisible
  • Attacks from behind with a knife will always one-hit kill
  • Low health

** Teammates and allies can also mean disguised spies on the enemy team
