Fastest way to unlock Flamethrower

[Cowboy_K]

Trying to grind out the flamethrower for support, what is the fastest method?

[Bang Bang Feuer Frei]

Put down supplies where and when needed/asked for, capture points, get a few kills, stuff like that...?

[Cronotekk]

Build nodes as engineer then play support the rest of the game

You can also spawn in the HQ as support and drop supplies, switch to engineer and build a node, then put down blueprints for the other two nodes then redeploy back to support. I forget if you can build both nodes quick enough as support but if not you can redeploy to engineer to get the last one. The flamethrower isn't useful in most cases but when it can be effective, I wouldn't want to be them :)

play on bob the builder server.

[Hylie Pistof]

dont bother, its a weapon with very limmited and special use.
nothing you realy want as a main weapon.

all the "grind" just for one weapon shows also that you dont care about playing as team, you just want a weapon ;/
we have enough who play a role for its gun and not because its an important role.

and there should be no "grinding", it is called PLAYING a game ;) if that is too much for you, maybe have a look at tetris?

go on bobthebuilder server and grind up your classes

Don't be one of those people who use the Bob server to grind your gear.

Essentially fastest way to level a class is to play Engineer first and get nodes up, then when you switch to Support all the node experience will go to your currently played class.

Then it's a matter of having an SL that wants to build garries or just generally have some really good games since that will just naturally level you faster anyway.

Dis is de way . Game probably won't be around long enough for you to unlock everything organically . It's also not worth the time investment.

Plenty of time to unlock everything, no need to BtB your way up if you ask me. Half the time I don't use the highest level load-outs and use level 1 often. I prefer to use rifles so level 1 is fine with me :)

^^This. For me the flamer is a bit meh. Very few situations where it actually shines and it is not a flexible load out.

bob the builder server. trying to level up legit is almost impossible. not worth it at all. you'd need to clock on thousands of hours

Leveling takes no time if you're actually good at the game since that skill translates to more XP. I promise if you need the bob server to unlock stuff without spending thousands of hours, the issue is yourself.

When you do unlock the flamethrower you will be very disappointed.

My man, leveling is way too slow to *not* use the Bob the Builder server.

What you suggest by going engineer first is a workaround that acknowledges the slow leveling. At that point, anyone trying to level support might as well go to the Bob the Builder server to save time.

Plus, people building nodes in a desperate bid for xp tends to result in competition which commonly results in toxicity. Sure, going engineer and building nodes will help the team in the current match, but somebody doing this exclusively just for leveling is doing it for the wrong reasons, and likely won't be bothered to do it later on once they've burnt out achieving their leveling goal. Hell, I've had people kill me and/or dismantle my nodes just so they could get their own set up. It's not a fun experience.

Bobs server only breeds players who put zero time into playing the game itself and as such the tools they gain by hammering away on that server are wasted on players who barely understand what they're doing in the first place.

Aside from HLL going to game pass, it's probably one of the worst things to ever happen for player quality levels.
