classes, sometimes known as mercenaries or mercs, reffer to the different characters with different abilities that can be played in Team Fortress 2; they are as follows:

Official Classes

Community Created Classes[]

The characters

All classes are grouped into three specific combat types, offensive, defensive, and support, but all can be played outside their assigned role depending on the player's choice of strategy.

Offense Classes

Offensive classes, Scout, Soldier, and Pyro are the main attack force of the team. Whether it's assaulting Control Points or grabbing the Intelligence, these classes focus on mobility. Scouts have the ability to capture points twice as fast as any other class and can get there with their top-tier speed and double jumps. Soldiers pack a punch with their devastating Rocket Launchers, and can attack from unexpected directions by rocket jumping. Pyros can wreak fiery havoc in enemy ranks with a well-timed ambush or extinguish their own burning friends, and offer the highest speed/health ratio of all classes (barring buffs or nonstandard equipment).

Defensive Classes

The defense classes, Demoman, Heavy, and Engineer serve to inhibit enemy access and to hold enemies back from vital points on the map. Overall, the defensive group has the most firepower of all the groups. Demoman can safeguard areas with stickybombs that they can detonate when pressing Right Click. Heavies are great for mowing down incoming troops and pushing back forces. Heavies can also keep enemies in an area while whittling their health for teammates to finish off. Engineers can build Sentry Guns for effective area defense, as well as build Teleporters and Dispensers for logistical support of the team.

Support Classes

The support classes, Medic, Sniper, and Spy serve to help something or replenish something. Medic is a self explanatory class, the Medic's job is to go around and heal any class that has a low health count in sight. The Sniper inflicts critical hits when they shoot someone in the head. He can kill any class with a fully charged headshot. The Spy can provide support by sapping the Engineer's buildings, weakening the defense of the enemy team so other Support, Defense, and Offense classes can get through unharmed. Spy also can kill any class with a stab to the back, go invisible, and disguise as the friendly team or the enemy team to confuse the enemy. Spy is usually the hardest one to play in this category.

The Civilian as seen in the game files

the scrapped classes reffer to classes that have been removed from the game. there's only one scrapped class, that being the Civilian. you can only play as the class by typing "join_class civilian" in the console before the December 20, 2007 Patch.




BossSaxtonHatLeaderboardIconSize[]

Boss classes reffers to incredibly strong classes created by the community that fight alone against the other team. the only boss class officially added to Team Fortress 2 is Saxton Hale in the VS Saxton Hale gamemode.

Number of classes[]

the base game itself has 9 classes, Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy. howewer, since you can still play as the Civilian in other Team Fortress games, and you also could still play as the Civilian before the December 20, 2007 Patch, and there are still many glitches to replicate the class, that gives us 10 classes. howewer, in the Saxton Hale gamemode a player is selected to be Saxton Hale, a character with different stats and health than all the other classes, that makes him a class too, giving us a total of 11 classes to choose from.
