Helldivers 2 - The Flamethrower Upgrade Is Out Of Control (Helldiver Difficulty, Solo)

We became the Salamander chapter from 40K Warhammer

DOT is bugged. They buffed it so much without realizing it doesn't apply correctly. So now its OP and bugged. Enjoy the flame power while you can.

Bugs can either become E710 or mediumm rare

One of the community managers recently said that fire was likely overtuned because of the DOT bug, and they will be reevaluating it after it’s patched. I’m guessing there will be a small nerf but not a full reversal of the initial 50% damage buff. The only reason they might leave it alone is that fire only performs well against bugs

dude is liberating a whole planet by himself with this thing TOASTY.

Learning how to quickly kill from your videos has elevated my gameplay far more than other Youtubers. The way you never stop moving and focus on certain targets over others has helped me even when getting overwhelmed.

Stun nades work REALLY well with the flamethrower. Being able to stun chargers is pretty strong.

the death at 8:15 lmfao holy shit it caught me so off guard. charger slapped you like a gnat 😂

From a guy who loves seeing a high kill count at the end of my games, it's where I derive most of the fun now that I've unlocked most things I wanted. This game is just awesome to slaughter in.

I completely understood your decision to NOT bring the Breaker Incendiary. You wanted to test the new fire buff for the Flamethrower and the Breaker would've introduced a second fire variable into the experiment. Great video as always!

Ya know, fire is getting really OP, and I think it’s probably going to get nerfed once they fix the non-host DoT issue, however, I think it would be really funny to turn fire into a doomsday weapon that is as much of a threat to you as it is to the bugs unless you’re really careful. The only issue with that is that planets with fire tornadoes would no longer be enjoyable. I mean they already suck, but imagine if they were even worse. Edit: completely off topic, but if you feel like the bug holes are just too numerous to close in the heavy nests, maybe try the grenade pistol? You’d lose the Redeemer’s spray’n’pray, but you wouldn’t need to resupply mid-fight for those big nests, and you could probably survive with just the fire. You’d have to ask the devs if stratagem fire gets overridden by other fire or vice versa, as that would determine if you could run the Breaker Incendiary or incendiary grenades for even more cc, which would further eliminate the need for the Redeemer.

If you’re playing in group play DO NOT bring any flame equipment Helldivers. There is a known glitch with the fire DOT only working properly for the host (and hosts can change at the start of a mission, being on your ship doesn’t guarantee being the host).

First person with the flamethrower has a use, it raises the gun to your helldiver's shoulders and therefore also where the fire is coming from, so it could help clear certain obstacles and add that little bit to your high ground

I did a couple of missions today with a full fire loadout and it seems additive (stacks) and not replacing - but I think full testing is required 😅

You are so good, dude XD Yesterday I solo'ed full missions level 6 (I did half missions level 7 before, others players crashing), because I learn so much in your videos.

I had tested this out pretty quick after the upgrade was released and I think you are right here! I took the breaker incendiary and it felt underwhelming.. also I took the fire grenade. I think the damage increase is only in this setup without non-buffed fire weapons. Thank you again, I wouldn't have thought about the damage overwrite in the first place!

Im level 30 and the list with the combustion module was the first "tier" I maxed out. I absolutely love using fire. Literally everything fire related(minus the mines mostly) is what i love running the most. At least for bugs.

You are going up 1k subscribers every couple days! Keep it up!

You’re the best I’ve seen play this game BY FAR

Now that was totally amazing! Well done. Good work. Keep it up!
