FLAMETHROWER IS ASS

[=MoonShard=]

here i said it ... maybe because im playing on death angel difficulty.

Its only useful to hold off the rippers sadly.

[Archmystic]

the flamethrower thats meant to only stop rippers and do nothing else? that specialised flamethrower?

[nadata]

I think raw dps on hordes it is the best but it takes like 15 shots to down a warrior for some reason

[Crow]

Nah, it's just ass.

[Ashrock]

you use the flame to thin the horde...then you use your sword to decapitate the mf'ers....you have more than 1 weapon. Learn to duck and weave...parry, block, counter, or don't use it. you'll find this game gets so much easier when you use the weapons the way they we're intended.

Not the melta, the flamer in the mission with a ♥♥♥♥ ton of rippers

They probably didn't want to make Flamethrower good or otherwise their whole "horde system" would be useless becasue they can't really spawn as much stuff as Vermintide/Darktide (where Flamer works perfectly fine) becasue they also had to release on consoles and sadly that peasant platforms can't handle more enemies in this game.

"Hordes" in this game (TYRANIDS ffs!) are joke. Darktide give you more hordes of Nurgle zombies than this game freaking tyranids. "Hordes" are so small a single flamer would just delete them. Not to mention where "horde" is climbing up the walls. Flamer would just remove them.

That ripper quest is singlehandedly the worst in the game. ESPECIALLY on veteran. Thankfully the game is infinitely better after

Brother, you know that darktide and vermintide are both on console, right?
