What is the quickest way to level firebug?
I got the maps, but I need a quick method! I've been torching patriarchs and fleshpounds.
Should I keep doing that or is there a better way?

Don't torch Husks, Scrakes and Fleshpounds (simply because Scrakes and Fleshpounds don't like fire... and Fleshpounds take only 50% damage so... it's just waste of ammo (unless you have to) and Husks do have great fire resistance).
Focus on larger groups of weaker zeds (Bloats are fine source of damage... they have good health and weak to fire).
Also, the harder difficulty, more health specimen have.. which means moar damage <3

burn the world. honestly firebug has to be the easiest to level. apart from sharpshooter i'm level 5 at that without even playing it.

just buy a flaregun and set everything on fire. once you have the cashflow get a mac 10 and/or a trenchgun. just light everything and you'll level pretty quick. huskgun is too heavy.

oh but dont do that during a team game, everyone will hate you

Mac Ten deals burn damage to Husks, 2-3 shots with burn takes one out.

Otherwise, flamethrower on weaker zeds. At higher levels it takes a decent ammount of juice to take trash down, so make sure you are level 4+ so you get decent amounts of extra gas in your canisters for the flamethrower.

I have had some success with mac's and flamethrower combos against scrakes, even on solo HoE level 4 firebug.

I don't really like the trench gun too much, and I have written a guide somewhere about the Firebug burried away in the Guides section on the hub, someone else has written one too. Might be worth reading those if you are new or clueless about the Firebug.

I rise with the level of support specialist, which have more affinity. And af, even with the perk of suport I use trenchgun, which receives the bonus of support ...

One thing I did is to go on the map- onceuponatimeinmexico. This map infinitely spawns zeds if you don't reach the objective and most of the zeds are trash zeds, so just hanging out on this map is good (at least better than leveling maps) because you still have to fight zeds directly and they can still hurt you, but you don't have to spend ages finding the trader or waiting for trader time to end as the trader is always open.

buy the weapon DLC and play with Dual Flareguns, it's not only the easiest, but also the most fun way :)

Just... Really, burn stuff. It's one of the fastest perks to level... :'D
