How tall the mercs are

This is a long post. I think I figured it out. But obvious disclaimer: I could be wrong.

If you don’t care about how I got the answer, here are the final results:

Engie: 5'7"

Pyro: 5'10"

Scout: 5'11"

Soldier: 6'0"

Spy: 6'1"

Medic: 6'1.5"

Demo: 6'1.5"

Sniper: 6'2.5"

Heavy: 6'5"

If you want to know how I got these measurements:

We see this photo from Ring of Fired: the mug shots of Spy and Scout with the height charts behind them. For this, I noticed that Spy appeared to be standing straight (good posture). Scout is obviously posing, and it looks like he’s leaning backwards, slouching like one would against a wall. So, I used Spy’s apparent height of 6′1″ to compare to the reference chart Valve has of their mercs:

This chart is grainy, but that’s okay; all I needed was a pixel conversion factor. I figured out how tall Spy was in pixels in this image (309 pixels) and divided his height in inches (73 inches) by that number to get the conversion factor: each pixel is about equal to 0.236246 inches. Or, each inch is about equal to 4.232877 pixels.

After that, I measured the heights of all of the mercs in pixels and multiplied by the conversion factor. If I messed up the pixel height, I messed up the final heights, but I think I did a good job. If anyone wants to double-check, go ahead.

The important result was Scout; even though he wasn’t standing up perfectly, if the number isn’t at least close to what the mug shot showed (about 5′10″) then this math isn’t reliable. Scout’s height came up as 5′11″. I think that his slouch and position with the camera is enough to take off about an inch or so in the mug shot.

Overall, here are the results (again):

Engie: 5'7"

Pyro: 5'10"

Scout: 5'11"

Soldier: 6'0"

Spy: 6'1"

Medic: 6'1.5"

Demo: 6'1.5"

Sniper: 6'2.5"

Heavy: 6'5"
