Any point to incendiary ammo for Sparks?

[Rumpelforeskin]

Since the shell is large, will it ignite a hunter with a single bullet?

No it won't, but sparks can have both regular and meme ammo, so why not?

What on earth is the point though then? Sparks is a single shot rifle, the only possible use for incendiary ammo I can think of is for shooting barrels I guess?

Barrels, meme, to make you ask this question.
Pick a reason you like.
Also it oneshots armoured

In theory you can use the incendiary bullet first and switch to normal ammo after a hit. That guy will have charred health, so sparks one shots to the body.
Yes, it's niche and memey, but something I guess.

A single shot burns something like 3hp it would be easier to use regular ammo and finish with your second gun

oh thank god no, we alrady have enough ease ways to set hunters on fire

The apologists will tell you that fire ammo is "good against the AI" as if that in any way matters.

But the real answer is that no, there is no point to fire ammo. It is thematically cool but mechanically weak.

You just need to gid gud with it. Ability to instakill wooden or iron in the middle of fight saving you about 4 seconds of free movement, when in melee it will take three heavy attacks at least. Setting off without delay barrels brings a lot of kills, so as tactical advantages, like fire up oil puddle in distance.
Mechanically it's pretty strong.

What about lighting corpses on fire, does that count for anything mechanically?

The Sparks seems the best use actually, if you hit the enemy and he manages to get into cover and heal up before you get a second hit he will still be a one-shot for a while since the burning damage heals rather slowly.

i know it's a bit late to say that a year later but, i just lost a complete big healthbar from a single sparks inc-shot. Well, it was at very close range but still... I don't know if they changed it to that, but it seems that sparks inc is pretty strong.
