Flamethrower is dead. It can't kill chargers anymore.

Discuss.

Democracy, Super Earth, and Arrowhead can go nerf themselves.

Sounds logical. They will add new Flamers soon. Ofc, they get nerfed. Maybe just a bug. I would not be surprised.

yeah from behind like all other weapons

Time to buy new flamethrower in a new warbond, i guess.
At least that was the plan.

AH's spaghetti code at it's finest.

They add fire resistant armor to the game, and somehow it applies to the enemies now. (my guess, cuz hopium)

If not, then they deliberately nerfed it to sell the Warbond flame throwers, since Viper Commando didn't sell that well by itself. Which is scummy

[He Who Comes With The Dawn]

Then the flamethrower is pointless now

[Dotoo]

Aside of negativity, can we also talk about how to deal with chargers from now on?

Stun grenades and hit his belly using MGs?
Everybody should just grab spear?
Dedicate every stratagems slots for chargers?

Any idea?

no you are not wrong, they add a smaler flamethrower, so they need the support flamethower bad so no one want to waste a slot and then add a new one who is your normal weapon.

nerf the best fire shotgun in the game, just to create a new better one that you can use

Nope. It is intentional change. They say flames are not meant to penetrate armors.

[Rex]

Flamer has more recoil and flames are somehow smaller as well. I feel like they downsized the flames so you have to aim more accurately. Kinda lame.

[Ravnin]

Only reason I used it.

If they didn't fix the 1 damage break point on legs with anti tank options then... well.

Behemoth Charger spam is going to be well fun.

[Kyren]

idk if im special or something but everytime i see a charger, behemoth, spore or normal i just chuck something on their head and it gets them out of the way. (resupply, sos beacon, weapon, backpack etc.)

if you cant do that or dont have the stuff to do that then try this

stun grenade + orbital strike
commando (to the head 2 shots)
EAT (one tap to the head)
Spear
Flamethrower (Use enhanced combustion. You can easily kill chargers, OP is incorrect.)

Absolutely everything balance is done via telemetry, taking average SC intake into accordance.
This game, just like all LS games, is build around the shop. Even if people don't want to believe it.
You're supposed to play short sessions and come back over and over while at the same time always be short on SC for the next Warbond.
Have fun, but not too much. But still enough to come back.
