Burn damage got buffed too much

[Karl]

It's what the title says. They made it so even touching fire kills you faster than you can stim. Makes hulks much harder and more annoying, but also anything that explodes or burns will do the same. I mean at least they're consistent but for the love of democracy please hit the undo on this

[PVT.Blueberry]

if you think your about to be burned dive instantly or dead. This wont work all the time but yeah fire is insane both ways.

[Pimpin Pippin]

if anything players should just get a 33% damage reduction versus fire.

but the fire damage itself is still pretty low versus enemies - especially since its weak versus automatons.

It's still really inconsistent. Sometimes a flamer will do the sweep ontop of me and I'll slowly burn to death. Sometimes it does the sweep and I instantly die from full health. It's weird and I wish it had some consistency.

Then there are times it sweeps and I visibly get caught by the fire, but take no damage.

If you dive it puts the fire out instantly. The reaction time for the animation is a lot faster than using a stim so it's best to dive then stim in my experience.

Any time a hulk is near I just spam dive until I'm far enough away. Seems to work alright.

They are going to sell you an armor for this. This is how this kind of business works.

that monk who set himself on fire as a protest was an outlier, most ppl who get lit die really quickly and this would be a much different game if every helldiver had the same resolve a buddhist monk does

I got killed twice today by a tiny flame left over from an orbital laser....
It was like a campfire size flame and burned me like I was hit by a dragons breath.

It's busted.A

If that was a flame thrower or the laser itself, fine but it wasn't.

People were already complaining about how much damage fire did to players. Then they go and increase it by 50%. The amount of times I've died before my dive animation went off, even though I pressed it within 0.5 seconds of being lit on fire.. -.-

I play on an Azeron, so there's no travel time in order to reach the dive button. Finger is already on it.

You die to suffocation faster than you die to the burns.

Yeah but you have 1 second to dive even at full health, it just really hurts what with being drenched in oil from head to toe and all.

It sucks when you're playing bugs and have Hunters on your ass, only to catch a stray shot from an Incendiary Breaker and instantly melt. Even if you dive in time, you're done. A Hunter will pounce you before you can get back up and move. That's a pretty specific scenario, though.

I wonder, does that actually affect it? It realistically would, but speaking game-wise, you never know.

This is factually untrue, what you are experiencing as "weak vs automatons" is actually just the burning DoT doing literally zero damage sometimes. It is unclear what causes it but it is certainly related to host vs non-host synchronization. Burning bots solo is actually hilariously overpowered.

[Furry Eskimo]

Perhaps.
I’m simply going to enjoy it until they update it again.
