Question
What exactly can the Pyro's compression blast effect? I've reflected rockets back at soldiers, but I've had very sketchy luck trying to bounce other things back at enemy players.
Answer
The list of things you can reflect:
- Soldier Rockets (Rocket Launcher/Black Box or Direct Hit)
- Pyro Flares
- Demoman Grenades
- Demoman Sticky Bombs (Sticky Bomb Launcher/Scottish Resistance)
- Crusader's Crossbow arrows
- Huntsman arrows (which can headshot enemies)
- Sandman Baseballs
- Mad Milk
- Jarate
- Level 3 Sentry Gun Rockets
All reflected items that do damage will deal mini-crits. If they are full-crit, the damage dealt is still critical.
You can also airblast already placed sticky bombs to move them off of door frames, control points, etc...
Note that there are two speeds for items to fly. Soldier standard/Black Box rockets and Level 3 Sentry Gun Rockets are slow, while everything else is fast. Fast items are much harder to reflect.
The game has custom kill icons for reflected Huntsman arrow headshots, but at last check, they were not actually used.
