Burn bodies?

[Beatlejuice]

Just to be curious, is there a reason to burn bodies? Seems like matches are not too rare but doesn't seem like burning them serves a purpose. Just playing the demo so far.

Few things. One its a good way to control a crowd, knock down the first guy and burn him, every enemy that steps on him or is close to him will burn too. Second its a good way to get ammunition, burning enemies sometimes is the only way to get ammo too if there's none laying around, burnt bodies drop stuff. Lastly its a good way to keep an enemy down and save some ammo, usually enemies always get up, burning them stops that.

One good tip in this game to survive. Shoot legs to knock down enemies, and burn them instantly. Save you a ton of ammo.

shoot a leg, run up, burn
only usefull early, becomes pointless later into the game when it turns into 100% shooter where you fuight waves of zombies with machine guns and rocket lounchers
dont save up matches

Excellent, thank you for the insight. I like this game. Seems like a really good horror game.

Quick tips:
- A stealth killed enemy will not get up anymore. No need to waste matches burning it.
- An enemy killed with a headshot and critically (meaning the head exploded) will not get up anymore. No need to burn.
- If you see a body lying down, and you can move the body around by stepping on it, it won't get up anymore. No need to burn.
- Other enemies will not be burned if they stepped on an already burning body. They will only be burned if they are close enough "as you burn" the lying body.
- Enemies that dropped gen gel or any item are already dead and will not get up anymore. No need to waste matches.

Good tips @Not a Good Player! I wa burning every enemy through the 1st 2 chapters because I had one get back up on me.

If you time lighting the match right, you can take out up to 3 others standing over a corpse by burning the corpse under their feet. Note: They literally have to be on top of the corpse to ignite them. GREAT ammo saver.

Also, if they squeal like a pig when you burn them, it wasn't a wasted match. If they remain motionless, they were never going to get up in the first place.
