Foreword
Hellfire is brutal build which consists on pure fire. Each weapon is designed to burn alive the enemy, and appropriately selected skills allow you to gloat over cries of suffering for a long time

Required DLC
  • BBQ pack
  • Wolf pack (Required only if you want full fire themed build. If you do not have this DLC, you can just replace a grenade launcher with any other weapon, This build will not lose if any efficiencies with other secondary weapon, more than that, it should work even better.

Characteristic features
  • Fire
  • Fire - Firethrower (that's a real FIREarm ;) )
  • Fire - Incendiary grenade launcher
  • MORE Fire - Incendiary C4 (firetraps)
  • C4 + ammo bags (Jack of all Trades)
  • EVEN MORE FIRE - Replenishable Molotovs
  • Heavy armor (Improved Combined Tactical Vest + Shock and Awe)
  • Swan Song
  • Works with every Perk Deck - Play with your favorite perk deck!


This build was tested on Hoxton Breakout Death Wish and works very well, Hellfire build is extremely effective in closed spaces and small maps.
Skills - Enforcer
SHOTGUNNER
Underdog basic - When your weapon deals damage per second, every percent counts.
NOTKA - If this build is too slow for you, change Underdog basic for Duck and Cover basic.


TANK
Resilience ACE - Nobody should disturb you while you are watching what have you done.
Transporter ACE - You can't be so slow, everything what is flammable will escape.
Bullseye basic - A little filler, works with flamethrower
Shock and Awe basic - You like to play with fire...
Iron Man ACE - ...because it can't burn you.


AMMUNITION SPECIALIST
Scavenging ACE - I do not know why the police carries around packs with flame-throwers fuel, but I don't mind it.
Bullet Storm ACE - How to burn the entire map without losing using your ammunition.
Extra Lead ACE - Focus on burning environment, not on controlling your fuel level.
Fully Loaded ACE - The larger fuel tank you use, more fun you have. In addition, police begins to carry around molotovs for unknown reasons, so now you can replenish your "throwable fire" by collecting ammunition packages.
Skills - Technician

ENGINEER
  • Defense Up basic - Filler
  • Eco Sentry basic - Filler
  • Jack of all Trades ACE - You can now equip both C4 and ammo bags at the same time! Take more ammo or more C4 depending on the heist.

BREACHER
  • Hardware Expert basic - A little, handy filler
  • Combat Engineering ACE - Now even Dozers should be afraid of your explosives.
  • More Firepower ACE - Think of all the places you can burn with all this C4!
  • Fire Trap ACE - Your trip mines ignite surrounding area during the detonation. Can you imagine a better gift to celebrate the hundredth update? BURN EVERYTHING DOWN.
Skills - Fugitive
REVENANT
  • Nine Lives ACE - even if they manage to extinguish you...
  • Swan Song ACE - ...your inner flame never goes out.

BRAWLER
  • Martial Arts basic - Putting a hand in the fireplace is not an easy task.
  • Bloodthirst ACE - Completion of your sadistic needs. Each execution gives you adrenaline boost, which allows you to reload your weapons faster.
Perk Deck
Use any perk deck you like. Personally, I recommend three options.
  • Muscle - Your flame of life even after being extinguished constantly ignites itself. In addition, your enemies start to panic because hell under their feet.
  • Gambler - Recommend for organized teams. Gather all laying ammunition by yourself, and provide benefits for the whole team.
  • Infiltrator (requies DLC Dragan character pack) - My favorite. Completes Bloodthrist skill, and the regeneration of the health from Life Drain can quickly and efficiently restore your entire health bar. You just need some practice with melee weapons.

These options are just my favorite, if you prefer other perk decks, like Maniac or Ex-presient, just go for it. Hellfire build is not designed for the specific perk deck.
Weapon

Primary weapon

Flamethrower - Allows you to incinerate alive targets on middle distance. Using this weapon is associated with the risk of sudden tide of sadistic satisfaction. Requies DLC BBQ pack



Secondary weapon

Incendiary grenade launcher - China Puff 40mm granade launcher with incendiary grenades. Requires DLC Wolf Pack i BBQ pack.

NOTE: If you do not have this DLC, you can just replace a grenade launcher with any other weapon, This build will not lose if any efficiencies with other secondary weapon, more than that, it should work even better.

Throwable

A molotov cocktail - (Finnish: Polttopullo or Molotovin koktaili, Spanish: Cóctel mólotov) also known as a petrol bomb, poor man's grenade, fire bomb (not to be confused with an actual fire bomb) or just Molotov, is a generic name used for a variety of bottle-based improvised incendiary weapons. Due to the relative ease of production, they are frequently used by street criminals, protesters and non-professionally equipped fighters in riots, gang warfare, and urban guerrilla warfare. They are primarily intended to set targets ablaze rather than instantly obliterate them.
.

.
Or "throwable fire" as I say. With Fully Loader ACE you can collect ammo packages to replenish your molotovs

Love the build but why not have both weapons as flamethrowers? :)

Pure fire is weak against Medics, Cloakers and Bulldozers.
Srsly you need a explosive secondary

Can you just read at least most recent comments before posting yours? Thank you.

Just saying, a good alternative to the grenade launcher is a shotgun with dragonbreath ammunition. Maybe even one with high accuracy to make snipers a non-issue? Seriously, I have tried a different loadout with a flamethrower and a grenade launcher on Prison Nightmare, and it seemed less like Prison Nightmare and more like Taser and Sniper Nightmare. I was spending so much time reloading.

For a second i thought a helfire build would be like: spinning with dual uzis, killing everything.

Haha, quite a way with words eh? Anyway thanks for not being an ass like some people. And by some people I mean those who can't take critisism...or something like that, even though it wasn't...hardly even a suggestion really, anyway don't mind me, just you average Sir.Dickington out on a stroll...(favorited the guide by the way)

I also mentioned grenade launcher is optional if you don't have wolf pack. Turning entire map into burned Vietnam just looks better

Yes I know about the sexy perk known as "Swan song" and is fucking awesome with weapons like the gernade launchers (and many more) but just a sugestion for those who don't have that DLC...or something else like not being able to buy the weapon...can't see why they can't after a heist or two. And the "Fire Axe" was to make a funny...as it were. Get it? Hellfire, fire axe...no?
Anyway I really love this guide. Keep it up.

Katana is probably the best DPS melee weapon, the ice pick is also debatable, since the katana has a very fast swing for a 70(450) melee.

Spam grenade launcher with active swan song or bullet storm, you'll understand why it's called HELLFIRE build.
And I'm never explaning weapon mods if it is not necessary, because of two reasons.
1. I'm not gonna force someone to change his weapons modifications
2. If someone currently don't have specific mods, build is not automatically blocked for him

If you ask me, use rare, killing specials without this mod is real pain in the ass.

If you want fire axe, I'm not gonna force you either. I prefer better choices than slowest melee weapon in entire game, like motherforker. A matter of taste and DLC
