Is fire extinguisher vs Wasps fake news?

[Charlie Kelly]

Just sprayed them down like a wet t shirt contest, went to start the ruckso and died. Why is this on the wiki if it doesn't work?

[MadBullBunny]

Yes its fake news. It was the first thing I tried when the test update released and its never worked. I don't know who stated that false information, but it doesn't work and never has.

[Charlie Kelly]

So is dunking the car the only method?

[MadBullBunny]

Far as I know its the only way. I've tried everything else possible and water logging the car was the only thing to get rid of them.

thanks m80, i hope it's permanent. I've drowned the truck 3 times trying to do this.

Using the fire extinguisher has always been a viable method for killing the wasp nest, it has even been confimed by the developer: http://steamcommunity.com/app/516750/discussions/6/1693785669867831585/?ctp=2#c1693785669868714178

I'll try another new save, but I've attempted to use the fire extinguisher numerous times and never did it kill the hive. Maybe theres another issue causing this not to work because I know a few that this doesn't work for.

The wasp nest article now has a section for how to deal with the wasps, based on personal experience on a clean MSC install. If the wasp nest still refuses to die, you might be experiencing a bug of some sort.

I killed the nest with a fire extinguisher. It works.

Can you explain your method or record a video or something? I sprayed for like 13 second straight at the hive.

I sprayed at it constantly, like a minigun. Try from outside the car without doors open first, if don't work then open door and risk it by spraying it empty from the door. Don't go inside the car when doing this.

i have steered clear of the car as soon as i saw it. Does it show anything visual to warn you of the wasps? or are you safe as long as the doors are closed?

Does it make that popping sound like when you dunk it in the water?

If you get close and hear a distinct buzzing sound you're already boned. I've had wasps chase me for "miles".

Take a swim they'll lose you.

I dom't know. After spraying the extinguisher empty, I just risked it and entered the car. Took 2 or 3 tries.
