TF2's Pyro Getting Unlockable Weapons Next, Upcoming Character Trailer Is 'Meet the Sniper'

Valve has revealed that the Pyro will be the next Team Fortress 2 class to receive class-specific achievements and unlockable weapons, with the Sniper being the next to be featured in a series of character-based trailers.

The company introduced the concept of unlockables earlier this year via a set of Medic-specific achievements and weapons, with players earning new equipment when as they completed 12, 24, and all of the 36 achievements. Valve plans to eventually grace the seven remaining classes with new armament in due time.

No details as to when the Pyro achievements and weapons will be available were provided to CVG, though Team Fortress 2 director Robin Walker previously told Shacknews that, "we're really excited about where TF2 will be going over the next year," suggesting that the studio may be hoping to release all of the updates within that time.

The free update is likely to hit the PC version first. Though Valve has said details on console DLC are due "pretty soon", the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the class-based multiplayer shooter have yet to receive any of the content updates released thus far.
