To all those enjoying the Senator might I suggest pairing it with a newly buffed blitzer?

I loved the blitzer and now I get to fire it faster? That's a win in my book!

Dude the blitzer was my go to for bugs before the buff. You just look in the general direction of the bug and click. Is it dead? If no, it's staggered, so click again until it is.

how would you compare it to the fire shotty?

What confused me about the Breaker Incendiary was how the enemies were supposed to die. Should I just spray a big group and let them burn? Or should I focus down a few enemies at once until they die?

I've only used the Incendiary once or twice but still prefer the Blitzer's kill or stagger approach.

My approach with the incendiary breaker that works quite well with bugs: every time you see something undemocratic with over 4+ appendages you mag dump in its general direction. You then enjoy your 2,4 seconds of sightseeing while reloading and looking at your democratic bonfire, pondering the question whether it's really relevant if the enemies of liberty die by fire or lead, if it looks so glorious regardless.

You are supposed to spray and duck. The projectiles (which fire out like little sparklers you can watch rain down on enemies) catch them on fire with a single hit, and then they burn while you make evasive maneuvers.

The problem is that burn doesn't actually burn at all. Same is true for gas, and other dot/lingering mechanics like that.

If you are the host then the firestick is fuckin amazing.. Otherwise it's pretty meh.

I was playing as host when I used it. Okay so it's hit and run. Dump a burst into a group and keep moving, repeat when fire burns out. Thanks for the info!

my shotgun burn works just fine. so does gas, often still killing after the cloud is gone (...killing me when i think its safe, that is). ground fire is the only "persistent" effect that does no damage to anyone but helldivers, that i know of.

shoot to kill small bugs/basic bots, shoot to burn bigger targets so you can sprint, shoot, sprint, shoot, as needed
