Step 1#: Make Sure You Are The Host
It seems they've fixed this issue with the last balancing patch.
@@samuelju2 False, Stylosa tested that and the host still is the only one that dose full fire damage. Hopefully the next patch fixes it.
@@hobblyjig But my fire shotgun is doing fire DOT damage when playing with friends. or am I misunderstand something?
@hobblyjig play the game kid it definitely works
@@samuelju2 nope. shoot 1x at the flying enemy and it not dying to fire dot. only host can shoot 1 time and let the dot kill it. you probably killing it not with dot but the bullet damage.
I throw the Incendiary Mines into any bug breach and finish with the Flamethrower and the results are always satisfying.
the more fire the better 😂
Napalm too
The amount of hunters jumping at my face kills the enjoyment of the flame thrower.
they are annoying :D
That's why I use the drone, great help with stragglers while you focus on the main group.
Rover
Rovers exist, and your primary
I love how all your gameplay doesn't show you fighting a mission with more bile spewer enemy constellation. The moment you fight bile spewers the flamethrower is unusable. I used to run flamethrower and thought it was amazing until I ran into missions with nonstop bile spewers.
EAT’s are a must
Nah, Dominator. No joke
Just 1 impact grenade smokes bile spewers.
there is a weapon called - Dominator :D:D with that logic because Flamnethrower cant kill bile titans its unusable:) just pick dominator for spewers and 500 kg for Biles, even incendiary breaker destroys bile spewers:D never EVER HAVE I struggled vs bile spewers:D theya re a joke with the right primary
Use the Dominator you genius
The flamethrower has been my go to terminid weapon, great cc and makes chargers a joke. It also helped a lot when i was using the Liberator Penetrator as my main weapon, eventually id run out of ammo, switch to my pistol, run out of ammo, and while running back to my teammates for resupply using the Bonesnapper armor to stay alive, id switch to the flamethrower to kill any terminids that may be chasing me or in my way, worked about 75% of the time for me
its a incredibly strong pick vs terminids
Damn good vid 👊🏻
thanks
great vid bro, cant wait to use it on the ground, sick strat. I was using it incorrectly
Loving the flamer build!
Awesome video homie 🤘😎🔥💨
thanks badman
The flamethrower is for primarily to clear lost of hordes for the big bugs even tho it is useful is best to switch,before u get burned aswell.also wear the shield
I like how the minute the bots are gone people are finally realizing the flame builds are god tier now.
I been rocking this baby from day 1 :D and since than it got BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS!!!
Try flamethrower against bots, so much fun.

So to add to the stun grenade tip. I notice you're doing it but didn't specifically mention it. I myself only found out about it today from another player. That is how to use quick grenades. In the settings under k+m or controller you can change the bindings. There is an unmapped action for quick grenade for controller users you have to manually set. Right now by default we have to put away the weapon we're holding and swap to holding only a grenade. If you map quick grenade you can be on a weapon and even ADS and quickly chuck a grenade and go right back to firing. This is critical for the stun+FT charger strat because even that extra 1.5 seconds of fumbling back to your flamer + the wind up time means half the stun if over before you even start hitting it with fire. When you swap from holding grenades you can only go back to your primary or secondary, not your support weapon. So all that clutter animation is massively lowing your kill combo.
Flammenwerfer is my go to for bugs. So FT is a mob clear. I pair it with a single target-medium penetrating weapon for those bile spewers, like dominator, slugger, or scorcher. punisher works great too with it's incredible stagger
it is so much fun!
Punisher/flamethrower, shield backpack then the Eagle airstrike and 500. Medpack light armor for sure, but I still roll with impact grenades for bug holes.
I vary on the primary weapon but I run this on anything terminid and wreck house. Borderline OP, only drawback is it doesn't deal with titans.
500 does deal with biles though :)
@@Crazymrpipz Well, once you get good at baiting the Titans. I see so many people just waste them as soon as a titan appears... on 9 it gets a bit rough basically just having the 500 and airstrikes for. One good buddy with a recoilless and it's all gravy though
@@Crazymrpipz Granted, my playstyle is definitely more the problem... a bit too aggressive and a bit lacking on backing out of fights lol
Do you just use granades and what strats to close bug nests when you solo? Curious because I usually run out super fast, especially if I find a cluster of nests in close proximity.
I use my napalm strike/airstrike and a mech a lot of the times for bug holes
How do you build around the flamethrower as a solo?
What other stratagems and weapons do you take to deal with other threats and mission objectives?
my main build most of the time is - flame
apalm\500\mech covers everything- bug holes, titans, adds
Flamer guy here as well, I noticed you use medium armor, I want to hear your input on how bile spew affected the armor on you as I am working to refine my builds.
I use light in the gameplay we were testing different armor on stream haha :D biles kill u even in heavy lol
@@Crazymrpipz sad and oof I really wish we had bile resist now
Yeah, while the Quezar cannon is gr8 vs bots, I feel like vs bugs running the Flamethrower+EATs with Shield and a 500kg bomb is my preferred setup. I also use the Breaker incendiary, but I find I can manage chargers without the stun grenades, i much rather have incendiary grenades for ad clear and the bug holes. Full firebat build.
thats a sick build right there
Good vid on the flamethrower, itself. A bit disappointed that you didn't go into your choice of loadout to support it, though.
this is a flamethrower video about how to use it:) i have multiple build videos on the channel with the flamethrower
Step 1: don't get bile spewers
So true, nest missions never have bile spewers
step 2 - Pick DOMINATOR, step 3 - incendiary breaker will also do, step 3 - use stun nades, step 4 - u can also use impacts instead,
@@Crazymrpipz step 5 : you never know what kind of terminids you'll face. too much randomness
how do you clear out nests with this build? I adore stun nades and flamethrower, but have to run impact nades, so i can clear out nests. What is your pick?
since eagle has 3 call ins airstrike/napalm is what I use, I can most of the time take out a few nests with 1 strike
@@Crazymrpipz huh. That might work. Can't wait for the explosive pistol from the new warbond
@@owlman4214 omg tell me about it!! cant wait for the warbond!
I'm really not sure if the flamethrower is such a good idea. Based on your clips, you constantly get swarmed by jumping bugs. I don't know how you're supposed to play like this if you don't have infinite syringes
how come you go with 5 stratagems?
i see 500k, napalm, anti tank, flamethrower, shield gen??
The only thing missing to this build would be the pistol grenade launcher. I like using the stun grenade but that literally makes you unable to clear bug holes.
agreed! cant wait to get it!
How you close bug holes with stun granade + flame combo?
currently I use napalm strike/airstrike but in about 2 days we will have the secondary grenade pistol :)
We need Fire Retardant armor. Also there is a bug with DOT right now. It only works with the host.
How to use the Flamethrower : IF you are not hosting , wait for Fire resistent Armor
I have never had this host bug lol im lucky :D
Also another tip. Don't dive backwards while firing, dive to the side to avoid things. I can't wait for fire resistance armour in the game.
What happens if you dive backwards firing?
@@Techigaiself-ignition
im sure they will add it soon
So is eagle airstrike your only tool for closing bugholes?
when I run solo my main build is - mech
apalm\500\flame and it covers everything for my solo runs to have full completions
Is it true that burning damage over time only works if you're hosting?
apparently some people have that bug, not me
Ok but if you have a flamethrower and stun grenades, then how do you close bug holes?
I use napalm or airstrike, and sometimes have a mech with me as well
How do you deal with nests with the flamethrower and stuns?
Wait for that sexy grenade pistol coming out for that build
Don't play alone lol
usually napalm or airstrike + mech, i can close moultiple with 1 airstrike and I have 2 mech call ins so thats like at least 20 nests :D
@@Crazymrpipz dude did they mess with the middle launcher on the mech? I can’t hit a damn thing with it now
@@E6PO1 hahaha ya its so clunky lol :D I just aim slightly to the right atm haha
5:52 How do you do that dash ?
He sprinted backwards
Great weapon but don’t run forward while using it, always walk backwards while using.
Based flamethrower enjoyer
I survived fire twice today, did they shadow nerf fire without us looking or something to explain that?
People freaked out with the buffs but you've always been able to survive fire. I got lit up a few times today and it was fine. The problem is most people only start diving after they're already burning, you need to be hitting the floor like as soon as you *might* be on fire. If you're proactive with your dives it's really not that bad.
@@InvaderTroy no after the last buff there was no time to heal today was the first time I healed both times I caught on fire in a while
after the buff there was still always time to heal:) u just gotta be fast with stims or DIve
ngl, i find it extremely absurd that there are no fire resistant armors when there's a flamethrower but there are arc damage resistance armors. until the illuminates come (not 100% sure if illumiates actually use arc, that's just what i've seen people say online), NONE of the factions use arc damage except us... but there ARE enemies that use flamethrowers that kill you extremely fast. Not only that, we have explosive weapons and stratagem as well as explosion resistant armors, so why is fire resistant armor the only one that doesn't exist?
im sure we will get that armor eventually
@@Crazymrpipz i really, REALLY hope so.
Flamethrower is fun, but i definitely find the stalwart to be better at add clear. Hunters make the flamethrower kind of bad still, imo; they don't get staggered and can leap right to you even on fire. You get hit like crazy by them in this video and are chugging stims.
With stalwart, you also reload on the go, but kill stuff (hunters) before they hit you, and therefore don't need to rely on the shield generator backpack. You can run supply pack to help teammates or just give yourself more supplies. More supplies all around due to no one getting burned haha. It sucks against the chargers, bile spewers and bile titans, but impact grenades (with supply pack) and other strategems are meant for the bigger targets. You can kill spewers, but they take a decent amount of bullets to the head, so i just switch to the slugger for them or medium armor quickly.
Trade off is flame is better V chargers and spitters. Everything has it's pros and cons
@VGLounge yep, that's what I wrote. You would think the flamethrower would be the best choice for the smaller targets and add clear over a machine gun, but yea, it's better for those chargers, brood mothers, and spitters than add clear
flamethrower + butcher heavy armor = salamander
Does the crashes not render your games unplayable? I cant go through one game without crashing 😢
I crash maybe like 1 time every 1-2 hours?
@@Crazymrpipz it feels like my game crashes whenever it’s least convenient
How many hours have you logged on the game?
600+
Also you can create choke spots or ring of fire around you don't sleep on fire granades and naplam strike also gas strike, but you will need your team to deal with titans
napalm is insane atm
All we need now is flame resistant armour
Flamethrower is god tier now we just need to have some sort of protection from setting yourself on fire
Once we have grenade pistol
Flamethrower, stun grenades and grenade pistol will be an utterly insane loadout
They might not give that armour to prevent removing a clear and heavy downside from such a powerful weapon
I think its fine even without armor, would I like to see the armor? oh ya! but it can easily be used without it
Incendiary mines> napalm strike the mine field> throw incendiary grenades> use flamethrower. Absolute hell storm
its really fun when ur solo but if u have teammates most people cant see the mines lol
@@Crazymrpipz I was literally just playing a match where some of the mines got stuck in the map so no one could really see them. We lost 5 Helldivers this day. I was 2 of them.
@@E6PO1 :D:D:D:D:D:D
What are you using to close bug holes then if you don’t have explosive grenades.
500kg
Ammo
harsh language
Chargers
500 kg and eagle airstrikes, same with precision air strikes
spreading righteous fire of democracy 👍
all day every day!
What about it when u are not hosting the game ?
for me the DOT damage works fine
He hit that cha-cha slide at 5:52 , please explain.
u can actually slide if ur sprinting go into crouch and ads right away and than let go, it will slide cancel kinda :D
TOAST THE TITANS SACS.
It will deal MASSIVE damage to the Titan, and will make Titan killing weapons finish it much faster. You can also finish a wounded Titan by toasting it’s sacs, like if a 500 doesn’t kill it, toasting it’s sacs will finish it.
You CANNOT kill a Titan with ONLY a flamethrower. I had three guys dump three mags into it before we gave up.
And it can’t spit with no bile sac
ya I wish the flamethrower could kill titans lol
Not a bad guide. It is missing a few things and I feel like your over doing it on the defenses. You can move forward while shooting you just need to be mindful of terrain and aim slightly higher to not light the ground on fire. The shield generator is really not necessary. Let me explain. The only two terminid enemies that are a threat to a flamethrower user are hunters and spewers. So when combat starts you should focus those enemies down first. Once those threats are gone the rest of the swarm poses little to no threat to you. The armor choice is more of a playstyle thing. I prefer the dreadnought heavy set because when I use flamethrower I go supper aggressive horde clear and like the extra range on my stratagems. The 50% limb health coupled with the health booster makes you rather tanky too.
Curious to hear your response, but how have you faired with the armor against spewers? I know no sane flamer will stay in bile, but some of those turds are sneaky lmfao
@@panzershuriken6590 Before the spewer nerf you got one shot. now its survivable but just barely. You eventually get a feel for their range and attack angles. If your at max range its safest to dive away. If not you want to get to their side. I deal with it mainly by killing them on sight. Its all about stamina management and spacing. I run the scorcher for spewers specifically. Spewers are big, slow and easy to ID targets. That makes them easy game for most strats and gunfire. I also check my map like a mad man because I hate getting surrounded. I like running mines as they aggro patrols and keep you from getting flanked.
@@user-ir4yk3jb5q same here man, im trying to keep an eye out, but when flames out, i try to focus in front xD
I just survived a spewer on medium armor right now haha, but damn close, and i feel i can eat a bit more damage... kinda tempted to run heavy medic now, i run with the rover backpack.
@@panzershuriken6590 Think of the larger battles as a series of smaller ones. Every time you finish off a few enemies and get a second of breathing room pull up your map and check. It helps you learn when you need to fall back or where your needed most. It is really easy to get tunnel vision but practicing good battlefield awareness drastically boosts your squads effectiveness, even if solo. While the man seems a bit basic you can infer alot from what kind of dots, how many and how fast. Big dots can only be commanders, spewers, chargers and titans. So a large group of big dots if you have confirmed spewers is obviously going to be a spewer patrol. It also helps to remember that its not really about the kills so much as it is ending fights quickly or before they start. I use napalm strike, fire mines and incendiary grenades to end fights before they start. If one does start I use orbital gas and or napalm dropped right on top of breaches to cut those off. I use the flame thrower as a mop up tool once all of the hunters and spewers are dealt with.
@@user-ir4yk3jb5q thats what i do man, just figuring out armor atm, afaik dots doesnt work if host which is sad :/ doesnt mean i wont get my enjoyment in flaming things, been using flamer as my main weap for area denial or chokepoints. I dont use the scorcher as much since I want to have that knock back and high damage impact from Dominator
on my auto builds and stealth ones I focus specifically on taking out targets before they see me or alert, i do the same with the flamer, but if i see a breach im p much rushing to a spot to flank and provide heavy fire
i did notice napalm air strike seems to have a larger radius, and impact damage hurts, but the dot seems to not tick reliably if not host.
Teach me, Senpai.
Senpai mode activated
In video he kill charger so fast but when i use it take so long to kill it 😂😂😂 ...
U gotta focus it on 1 leg, should die pretty quick
Stun the charger and FOCUS ON ONE LEG, preferably the frront, it will die in around 3 seconds.
its very easy to melt them as long as ur hitting the leg
The flamethrower can be used more efficiently than this. Shoot the ground is a very bad tip. If you want to be more efficient with the flame thrower, go into ADS for it and aim direct. The direct flame does much more damage than the ground fire ticks.
aaaaaaaaand noooooooo 😂
But you get killed way easier for being too close to the bugs and you waste more ammo instead of letting the broken DoT do it for you. Your method is ironically less efficient lmfao
Use a laser watch dog for more dps. Tired of seeing shield backpacks everywhere.
im sorry I use the items I like :D from this day forward I will use the laser cause ur tired
How much ammo do you go threw.
I’d like the developers to master removing game crashes at extract. Just had another crash at extraction after a 30 minute Helldive mission. No credit for anything. Cannot get 2 extracts in a row without a crash at extract. Lots of wasted time in this game right now.
Crash at extract saves xp, samples, medals, ect. If you board and take off = shit got saved
@@Pac282that’s good to know.
at least we get EXP and everything atm:) when the game launched ud lose everything and they did say there will be a hotfix for this really soon
great for solo dives*
great for any Dive honestly as long as u dont BBQ ur teammates :D and I have never had the no damage issue when im not HOST
Instructions unclear: I barbecued myself
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
flamethrowmer
flamethrower indeed
1 m 20, nothing about the fact that you have to be the host. Yeah you are saying as a "solo player" but it's not enough clear sorry, so maybe this vid will be good when it's fixed (if they fix it someday because when I see how the community are really starting to be pissed about all crashes, I'm not the sure the game will stay long sadly, while I really enjoy the game).
I do NOT have this host issue ma guy, I join people all the time on stream and have NEVER had this issue so im not gonna sit and lie that I do
I just go guard dog rover for add clear.
I have been using it by burning the ground, it works amazing on hellmire, btw, now when we deleted the autobots, i can go full fire build breaker fire branded thrower naplam strike, I'm missing fire pistol and aunty fire armor and 500k fire bomb
Bug BBQ :D
@@Crazymrpipz Sadly its really bad if your around random teammates they burn with the bugs 😂
@@Mryourporn if they die... they die - IVAN DRAGO
Also font use shield, its garbo, use jetpack so you spray fire u jump away, and also muscle booster, to be safe vs hunters, also use 6 grande armor, if you catch fire helldiver, be rdy to spam it sometime you can burn to fast 😂
shield is one of the best items in the game for survivability its def not garbage, muscle inhastmenet doesnt work 70% of the time
@@Crazymrpipz Never liked the shield against the bug i was always going for jumpack or supply pack, i feel like slot of the players cant handle the game without that shield, don't get get me wrong i don't like the shield because for me there always better options 😁😁
@@Mryourpornoof, people can’t handle the game without the shield? But you can?
Fuck me, you must be awesome. I bet you’re probs the best at this game.
