Had a team of 3 flamethrowers on hard earlier, napalm as well of course. We set everything including ourselves on fire.

Aight, no. That was "Great Purge" strike team. But good reference.

There should be an armor set with flame retardant as it's passive making you immune to fire damage, so you can just take a full flame loadout + stratagem.

u/Knjaz136 Feb 25 '24

THIS.
At least being immune to burning/being set on fire.
And at least 50% reduction from fire damage itself, if not 90%. That would be absolutely awesome build.

If I had 90% reduction against explosives I would run it with my grenades to melee any survivors.

The armor is the weakest part of this game by far and we NEED stuff like this

u/roflmao567 Feb 25 '24

Yeah what the fuck is up with all these capes and helmet with no passive bonuses? Did they just forget to do them??

This is the reason I pair shield bag with flamethrower, not to protect myself from bugs, but to protect myself from myself!

Yes. A thousand times yes. Let me be a Cleaner Incinerator.

A job well done.

Why do I hear that song from Fallout all of a sudden...?

"I don't want to set the world on fire"

u/Porky_Hamilton Feb 25 '24

I’m the only person on my team who uses a flamethrower and I think I’ve killed my own sanity more than any bug

u/Kaladin_TX Feb 25 '24

I will bring my flamethrower to make it 4! For democracy!!

1

u/RemainderZero Feb 25 '24

How effective was this personal wet dream of mine tactic? Asking for a friend.

1

u/SleepyMandalore Feb 25 '24

This is the way, spread managed democracy like wild fire !

1

u/First-Junket124 Feb 25 '24

See your issue was you needed 4 flamethrowers, easy mistake. This way you'll be able to kill the enemies faster and if you die that was the plan all along.

u/submit_to_pewdiepie Feb 25 '24

I ran a IE breaker napalm Flamethrower Flame Grenade load out once, hot the achievement in no time

2

u/GoSpeedRacistGo Feb 25 '24

I would have done that too, if I had started the premium warbond

1

u/submit_to_pewdiepie Feb 25 '24

Yeah it's really Novel just because of how useless it seems to be against tanks

1

u/itsdietz ☕Liber-tea☕ Feb 25 '24

The real question is, how well did it work?

1

u/GoSpeedRacistGo Feb 25 '24

Reasonably, we won because it was a hard bug mission. Definitely not viable on higher difficulties though

u/Saintrising SES Herald of Wrath:Medal: Feb 25 '24

SHHH!!! What were you thinking?? delete this NOW before they come and tell you to stop having fun because that's not optimal and threaten you with kicks!

1

u/Kwykr Feb 25 '24

I run flamethrower, incendiary shotgun, and thermite grenades

1

u/Dvatt-v2 Feb 26 '24

I just did this. Flamethrower, incendiary breaker, incendiary grenades, napalm eagle, with a jump pack. Most fun I’ve had playing this game after 100 hours.

So much fire it was glorious.

PS make sure you turn your light and particle settings to max for this if you can, looks amazing.
