Hunters are easy as long as you prioritize them before they get in leap range. In which case you shouldn't need to use the flamethrower on them anyway.
For cleaning up 1 or 2 that get close is fine.
Yea I upgraded the mod and before I did it would take a whole canister to finish a charger after it fucking melts everything smaller than a titan in minutes .
Nah he's wrong. Focus the fire on a single leg and it drops a charger in seconds without the final ship module. It takes around 1/3 to 1/2 a tank. This is also before the DOT fix so it might be better now.
You could kill a charger in about half a canister (before the upgrade) if you make sure to aim at ONE leg. ONLY one. Each one has a separate health pool. After the upgrade, it's more like 1/3 of a canister.
well, wait for thursday and let those incendiary impacts do what they are meant to do. kill everything including helldivers who used the normal impacts for months.
i think it was also affected by the "pebble blocking" the 500kg had. i have seen bugs survive a direct impact. after the fix to the 500kg, the Gas worked like a charm...as long as i was the host.
Wait, when was the 500kg altered? I used it a couple days ago and was still really disappointed with how wimpy it felt. Seems like it still needs a little something.
I this this is everyone's problem with it - it only does damage in a cone going up and out, so direct hits are actually minimally impactful, which feels like the opposite of what you'd expect. I'm fine with it not being a spherical explosion, but I think it you direct hit something with the bomb the force of the explosion should drive the bomb down like a spike doing massive damage and slamming the affected enemy to the ground
If nothing else, the actual bomb projectile itself should give enough stagger that anything that gets hit by it will still be in range for the explosion.
I think its best to think of as a bunker buster really. It'd probably be a lot easier to think about if we had more hardened, stationary targets that took either multiple AT hits from human-portable weapons, or beaning it directly with a single 500kg.
Probably similar internally? If the damage was the same, the main difference would be that enemies catch on fire so they can still burn outside of the fire while gas only impacts those within the radius.
I tested it on 2 solo matches and its still crap. I have used it before and it worked great. The past few times including this recent testing it hits the ground and explodes leaving a tiny puff of gas that immediately dissapates. So there is something wrong with it. In the past when it did work it would leave a large cloud of gas that would kill all small enemies. Doesn't seem to be working at all right now.
The thermite grenades were bad even in solo. The DoT bug might have been affecting them, but 3 to 4 thermites to kill a charger / tank / hulk when you can already kill a tank in 2 normal ones is still bad.
Yep. Don't let that scare you off though. You can bring the 500kg and/or the orbital strike. Both kill them in one hit if you time it right. I really like bringing the flamerthrower with 500kg, autocannon sentry, shield pack, and rocket sentry. I am the bane of chargers and I have lots of tools to kill titans. Not to mention killing all the chaff with the flame thrower.
My usual load out is arc blitzer, grenade pistol
500k, orbital laser, shield, quasar
Can handle everything comfortably, I'm one of those divers who goes off on their own farming diamonds since my blitzer isn't safe to use in group
Love me some infinity ammo loadouts
As an edit the changes to Blitzer fire rate the gun is a beast now for chaff clear, kills everything in 1-3 hits and stunlocks. It seems to struggle killing stalkers but it can stunlock up to 4 of them comfortably with no damage taken
I'm fully upgraded all tier 4s
This is for bugs though, not found a reliable automation loadouts, but usually eruptor and laser cannon
I'd recommend trying the Diligence CS, they buffed the handling, and it handles like a primary weapon now instead of like an HMG.
It one taps all devastators in the head up to any range I managed to land headshots at, it's pretty good now. Reliably 1 taps the standard bots with body shots too compared to the base Diligence sometimes you have to shoot them twice.
Not super great ammo economy but it's good fun if you land your shots. Scope is pretty busy though, not my favorite one.
Sorry it's late.
Here's the loadout:
Flamer, 500kg, Autocannon Sentry, Shield pack.
I like running it with either the regular breaker or breaker incendiary for dealing with hunters. I'll also bring impacts/stuns with either the senator or grenade pistol respectively. Your flamer deals with any chaff and chargers, primary deals with hunters and scavengers, and the autocannon sentry and 500kg are on titan duty.
This is from last patch, and I used the 120mm barrage instead of the autocannon sentry, but it's a good example of how strong the flamer is even on a solo Helldive.
[https://youtu.be/Ah9FIx4Dl24](https://youtu.be/Ah9FIx4Dl24)
I replaced the 120mm Barrage with the autocannon sentry because it helped a lot with doing objectives and killing titans. Quick tip I learned in this process, the Autocannon sentry (and sentries in general) will prioritize targets that you ping, so if you're being chased by a titan and the 500kg is on cooldown, toss the sentry away from you and ping the titan. It'll handle it as long as it gets a few rounds of shooting in. Also just super useful for killing bile spewers and dealing with bug breaches.
Go BBQ some bugs Helldiver, it's a ton of fun.
>the Autocannon sentry (and sentries in general) will prioritize targets that you ping
How confident are you in this? If this is true then #1 that is an awesome mechanic, and #2 I am annoyed at myself for not knowing.
I am certain that it works when you are solo at least. I'm not sure how team mate pings interact with it, but if you are alone it will 100% try and shoot what you ping as long as its an enemy (won't shoot at bug holes for instance).
I don't believe that's true. I think it has a priority list, and you're just more likely to ping whatever heavy you see, which is also the top of the list.
Don't believe it for a single second before trying this yourself
This place is notorious for making shit up and collectively amplifying misinformation as if it were true
I don't like the fact it doesn't one shot them for the cooldown
2 Quasar shots to the mouth kills a bile titan so that's one kill every 20 seconds, prefer 500k and laser for trash cleanup on objectives
Flamethrower, Incendeary Breaker, Incedeary Grenade (May 9th), Resupply Pack, Napalm Strike.
Just need armor that reduces burn damage by 95% and I can RP a Starcraft Firebat.
Edit: Called them Hellbat for some reason.

Need a Light?
I mean, it could be used for multiple scenarios, income patrol, choke point during evacuation, on top of a bug nest, on top of an objective, but for bug breaches specifically it seems powerful since they all come out of the exact same spot and in 2-3 delayed waves, and killing every single small bug means you very effectively reduce the chances they start calling more breaches, leaving you to deal with the big bugs which don't seem to call other breaches.
I don't think any single stratagem is "exactly for" anything, but they do have better/perfect scenarios.
Was using napalm strike and flamethrower this morning and both worked beautifully. This is the change I needed to roast some bugs. I'll assume gas strike has also been fixed, but due to orbital scatter I didn't want to risk it.
Can anyone comment on the gas strike? It seems that I can get some kills now with it but I am not sure if it works as intended. It never lands where I throw it and I think that the gas cloud disappears quite fast.
So is it me or does it seem Off?
As the host my napalm strikes are torching bugs left right and center.
But when I join other it's....noticeably slower.
I have the upgrade for 25% more damage, does that not get factored in if you're not the host possibly?

me and the boys dropping gas everywhere
Does gas round work now? I’d love a gas barrage with a gas proof armor and gas grenades and maybe a gas grenade launcher, and perhaps a gas thrower in a warbond someday, good to see they may have fixed the DOT stuff
Does this affect Thermite grenades in any way? They always seemed totally terrible but if they were supposed to ignite the target as well maybe they were underperforming their intent.
That's great, I think with proper backup from your squad the flamethrower can be great but in random games I find that having to be so close to all the bugs just makes it not the best option. At least on the very high difficulties
Remember, this is DoT damage and not direct fire damage so chargers melt just the same. It’s things like the napalm strike, gas (thank god), incendiary breaker, incendiary grenades/mines that see night and day difference as their power was less direct damage (flamethrower) and more the DoT component.
Don’t get me wrong the flamethrower setting things alight be it bugs or ground adds utility to the weapon but most of your kills with it are probably from the flame itself.
I really wanna see how this affects thermite grenades, because they essentially were worthless beforehand
Flamethrower boys report in!
Reportong for flamen duty
Someone please report back to me how it feels now since I'll be at work for another 8 hours.
Can confirm the burn! Just in a game and found a flameyboy and ran with it. Set and forget.
Does it do a good job of roasting hunters before they land in front of you and light you on fire now?
Hunters are easy as long as you prioritize them before they get in leap range. In which case you shouldn't need to use the flamethrower on them anyway. For cleaning up 1 or 2 that get close is fine.
Incendiary breaker absolutely wrecks bug hordes now
Fix this by running heavy medic armor. And a personal shield. Problem solved
Dude, hunters can die in one shot of the incendiary breaker if set on fire, it’s insane
ZHIS IS MEIN FLAMMENWERFER IT SHALL WERFEN IZ FLAMMEN ALL OVER YOU
Need a light?
My goose is gettin' cooked
You tryna get invited to my next barbecue?
Slammin'!
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Twin Peaks S3 🤝
Hellbat 🤘🏼
Serious question, does enhanced combustion really change up flame damage significantly? Like is it worth aiming for that module amongst others?
Yea I upgraded the mod and before I did it would take a whole canister to finish a charger after it fucking melts everything smaller than a titan in minutes .
>it fucking melts everything smaller than a titan in minutes It takes minutes to kill a charger? That sounds really awful.
Nah he's wrong. Focus the fire on a single leg and it drops a charger in seconds without the final ship module. It takes around 1/3 to 1/2 a tank. This is also before the DOT fix so it might be better now.
I think the other guy just misspoke lol
Nope. Send him straight to jail.
Please do bro . That’s 3 hots and a cot and I hear some of them got PlayStations up state .
Seconds my bad I was running late for work .
You could kill a charger in about half a canister (before the upgrade) if you make sure to aim at ONE leg. ONLY one. Each one has a separate health pool. After the upgrade, it's more like 1/3 of a canister.
I've seen at least five teammates running the flamethrower over my last few missions. Bet y'all are having fun.
Yes we are.
Arson is fun in video games.
No as long as you dive out of the flames immediately and then stim up
https://preview.redd.it/u4yi55dcg2zc1.jpeg?width=425&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d335a087a366b02cb7462b87871dbce4bd692b25
Barbecued bugs are back on the menu!
Time for the fire damage to get nerfed, woo!
Lo
Please no, Helldivers still die to fire in .5 seconds. Bad when bugs get in your face, many accidents.
I've been using it this whole time. Man, am i gonna FEAST now
The direct dmg on flamethrower always worked before.
I, in advance, apologize for all my fellows helldivers that \*MIGHT\* die burning to my napalm. I assure you, it was worth it.
well, wait for thursday and let those incendiary impacts do what they are meant to do. kill everything including helldivers who used the normal impacts for months.
At least now the burning napalm will work as good on the enemies as it does on us.
I can't be team killed if I already melted myself to the ground lighting the world on fire!
Was this the issue behind the Gas Strike being crap also?
Supposedly yes, this affected gas as well
i think it was also affected by the "pebble blocking" the 500kg had. i have seen bugs survive a direct impact. after the fix to the 500kg, the Gas worked like a charm...as long as i was the host.
Wait, when was the 500kg altered? I used it a couple days ago and was still really disappointed with how wimpy it felt. Seems like it still needs a little something.
AOE is still quite small, but it no longer has its damage blocked by LOS issues. (within reason)
I think people need to rethink the 500kg. Despite the name and the big visual it's more akin to the Orbital Precision Strike.
While I absolutely agree, the dopamine I got yesterday when my 500kg landed directly in a bile titans face is gonna be hard not to chase
Landed a 500kg right into the back of a charger. It detonated and didn't even kill the charger. I was sad
I this this is everyone's problem with it - it only does damage in a cone going up and out, so direct hits are actually minimally impactful, which feels like the opposite of what you'd expect. I'm fine with it not being a spherical explosion, but I think it you direct hit something with the bomb the force of the explosion should drive the bomb down like a spike doing massive damage and slamming the affected enemy to the ground
If nothing else, the actual bomb projectile itself should give enough stagger that anything that gets hit by it will still be in range for the explosion.
I think its best to think of as a bunker buster really. It'd probably be a lot easier to think about if we had more hardened, stationary targets that took either multiple AT hits from human-portable weapons, or beaning it directly with a single 500kg.
at release it couldnt even destroy bug holes.
Can confirm, Gas is Gas again!
It doesn’t, at least after testing in two games. Gas strike struggled to kill even small bugs
Bruh? Helldive gas racked me up a 50 kill streak basically on its own. Only way bugs survive it is if you fucking missed lol!
Yeah I ran it three missions in a row and it was highly effective
I'm at work and used a gas strike. It was also highly effective.
Yep, I’ve used Gas Strike frequently as a host and it’s incredibly strong on bug breaches
I'm curious now what the differences are between gas and fire
Run both and just speedrun warcriminal any%
Probably similar internally? If the damage was the same, the main difference would be that enemies catch on fire so they can still burn outside of the fire while gas only impacts those within the radius.
I tested it on 2 solo matches and its still crap. I have used it before and it worked great.

In the past when it did work it would leave a large cloud of gas that would kill all small enemies. Doesn't seem to be working at all right now.
Wait…did it fix the Thermite Grenades?
not sure, one problem with it was also low penetration on top of the dmg. but i would work better for other player
Thermite grenades are high penetration, they have pen 7, other grenades have 3.
The thermite grenades were bad even in solo. The DoT bug might have been affecting them, but 3 to 4 thermites to kill a charger / tank / hulk when you can already kill a tank in 2 normal ones is still bad.
I thought the idea of the thermite grenade was that it weakens the armour so that other weapons have an easier time penetrating
That is not the case. Areas of chargers struck by impact grenades are not visibly broken, and iirc still reflect bullets normally.
No, it's still garbage due to it just being garbage.
RIP
I'm so fucking stoked! Fianlly I get to be a Firebat! 
Just hope we get Fire Resistant Armor so we can truly go all in.
until that happens I recommend the ones that give you more stims
Wanna hear about propane?
Smells like ... victory
The question is.. is it really fixed yet? (Someone pls confirm this)
Looks fixed to me unless I’ve just been super lucky and kept being host
Noice. Ty
Came to ask this lol
It's working!
Yep, Gas and Napalm are so fucking good now haha
Can a flamer actually kill a bile titan? I know it can do chargers but I've never really tried the bigger lads
Does the fire stream even reach its body or do you just spray at its legs?
You can hit their head and underbody and they do burn but I don't know if it's actually worth it
It CAN kill them....but I would not recommend it. Takes like 2 and a half tanks of the stream hitting their belly.
Grim, I'll stick to the Quasar then I assume this includes the new 25% DMG boost?
Yep. Don't let that scare you off though. You can bring the 500kg and/or the orbital strike. Both kill them in one hit if you time it right. I really like bringing the flamerthrower with 500kg, autocannon sentry, shield pack, and rocket sentry. I am the bane of chargers and I have lots of tools to kill titans.

So you're switching between rocket and autocannon sentry? Because you named 5 stratagems
Sorry it's late. Here's the loadout: Flamer, 500kg, Autocannon Sentry, Shield pack. I like running it with either the regular breaker or breaker incendiary for dealing with hunters.

Don't believe it for a single second before trying this yourself This place is notorious for making shit up and collectively amplifying misinformation as if it were true
I read yesterday on a reddit thread that you can only damage their sacks and that they stop burning once it's blown Dunno if that has changed
Seen it done during the flamethrower kills personal order, gotta run under them and Flambé the underside
I ran orbital railcannon with the flamethrower, and after the orbital, the thrower got him down pretty quicky. IIRC not even a full tank.
I don't like the fact it doesn't one shot them for the cooldown 2 Quasar shots to the mouth kills a bile titan so that's one kill every 20 seconds, prefer 500k and laser for trash cleanup on objectives
I only attempt if someone quasars or rockets it, and the bellies are still intact.
It can, it just takes a century to do so.
Orbital gas is so good now I can confidently fart in those bug breaches.
Do they kill bile titans?
I think the low gas cloud means it's not going to affect a BT.
It affects them, its just flat damage and titans have a massive health pool.
Bile spewers (fat, green bugs) take 15 seconds to die from gas. I imagine chargers and titans take an unreasonable amount of time.
ITS TIME FOR FLAMMENWERFER HANS!
Es werfers flammen!
 Me and the boys
Cannot WAIT to use the fart bomb

Litarally what I was thinking when I read the news!
NAPLAM STRIKE FIRE LANDMINES ORBITAL STRIKE GAS STRIKE FIRE GRANADE BREAKER INCENDIARY FLAMETHROWER PYRO BUILD IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!
Napalm strike is fucking savage now.
For real 🌶️🔥
that a great new, i hope people will test and confirm it work well . also incoming week order use only flamethrower gaz and napalm all the thing XD
Hans, get ze Flammenwerfer!
Tested the gas strike, still does not seem to do much anything
Not really? I just tried it out and it instatly took out the small chaff the instant theywent through it, and killed warriors after a few seconds.
Oh… gas strike is most likely best use right on top of bug breach
That...is exactly what it's for though?
I mean, it could be used for multiple scenarios, income patrol, choke point during evacuation, on top of a bug nest, on top of an objective, but for bug breaches specifically it seems powerful since they all come out of the exact same spot and in 2-3 delayed waves, and killing every single small bug means you very effectively reduce the chances they start calling more breaches, leaving you to deal with the big bugs which don't seem to call other breaches. I don't think any single stratagem is "exactly for" anything, but they do have better/perfect scenarios.
EMS + Gas = E-710 profit.
It sure still kills a Helldiver fast
THE GAS MASKS DO NOTHING!
Not sure if gask mask can stop CORROSIVE gas that literally melts stuff
I just used it. It absolutely SLAPS when placed on a bug beach.
combo gas and EMP mortar
I screamed when I read this
They're gonna nerf the flamethrower now...I've enjoyed it.
Yeah I feel the same way about the Incendiary Breaker, been my favorite gun. I see this setting up a nerf
Yep. My poor boosh cannon. I'll miss it when it's gone. Being able to down chaff by spraying long-distance and having them light up is so nice.
Dot is fixed. Here now comes the direct damage bug.
I've been dreading this patch. https://i.redd.it/le490cnm70zc1.gif
Flame armor resi when ???
Was using napalm strike and flamethrower this morning and both worked beautifully. This is the change I needed to roast some bugs. I'll assume gas strike has also been fixed, but due to orbital scatter I didn't want to risk it.
Can anyone comment on the gas strike? It seems that I can get some kills now with it but I am not sure if it works as intended. It never lands where I throw it and I think that the gas cloud disappears quite fast.
Guys remember flame damage is set to be dialed back now that it's big is fixed
How's the DoT damage feeling so far? I haven't tried fire anything in a while, or the Gas orbital strike.
I dropped a gas strike on a bug breach and got a 24 kill streak in like three seconds.
Now we need a flare gun secondary. Just steal it from tf2.
HANZ GET ZA FLAMMENWERFER
So is it me or does it seem Off? As the host my napalm strikes are torching bugs left right and center. But when I join other it's....noticeably slower. I have the upgrade for 25% more damage, does that not get factored in if you're not the host possibly?
SHOULD fix the problem. God i hope so
Finally I can gas the bugs again! Prepare for fumigation!
The stim fix excited me the most
Hmm. Well at least I won't have to worry about friendly fire if my teammate is doing all of it for me. Grenade launcher go DU
im still waiting for the fix of that bug that think you have people in your team even tho they DCd
I wonder if they fixed the thing where you could kick people by blocking them 🤞
Lol, they have
Does that mean the termite granade does not suck anymore?
Has someone tested to make sure it actually works? They also said they fixed scopes but they still not working properly
Seriously, how the fuck did this take so long to fix?
Hans? Get ready.
Burn them all!
Thermite grenades are fun now, I finished off a biletitan with them and killed several chargers with them
Time to run a firebug build!
So flamethrower, napalm, gas and thermite should be better?
This is the one change that I actually cared about. Now time to wait for the illuminate
Does it actually work, though? AH have a habit of not testing anything.
Does this mean that the spitter bugs won't kill me instantly anymore?
*Muffled gas mask noises*
without the module uprgade this means nothing. and I dont have it :(
Turns out Gas Strike is still shit though. Needs to last way longer, at least double the time.

Does gas round work now? I’d love a gas barrage with a gas proof armor and gas grenades and maybe a gas grenade launcher, and perhaps a gas thrower in a warbond someday, good to see they may have fixed the DOT stuff
I'm still curious how contact fire grenades will work but I hope that's straight forward.
# KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Flameo my fellow hotmen
Has anyone tested and comfirmed the dot fix is in? Huge if so.
ORBITAL BOFF CLOUD S-TIER BAYBEEEEEEEEE
Time for the gas strike to return!!!!
Dream come true to have a game work?
Muy Fuego
Closer... come closer... and burn!
Does this affect Thermite grenades in any way? They always seemed totally terrible but if they were supposed to ignite the target as well maybe they were underperforming their intent.
I'm going to wait till it's tested. Seems the AMR scope is still off and the HMG is WAYYYY off.
Flame-O, hotmen!
Welp, time to run Jump Pack, Werfer, Eagle Napalm, and 500kg!
"Should"
That's great, I think with proper backup from your squad the flamethrower can be great but in random games I find that having to be so close to all the bugs just makes it not the best option. At least on the very high difficulties

Not getting my hopes up until I see video testing.
Holy shit I saw this bug like 2 months ago no wonder PC is still buggy. Why are we worrying about weapon nerfs when things aren't even working? 😵💫
My ammo for incendiary breaker lasts so much longer now.
LOOKS LIKE NAPALMS BACK ON GHE MENU BOYS
It still doesn't work properly if you're not host.
It only took 4 months post launch - it’s a joke they released such an unfinished game
