    there’s an unfortunate bug where the flamethrower is ineffective against regular chargers (still works on behemoths apparently though), but other than that great update!

      Is it a bug? This is buried under the miscellaneous notes. Though you’re right, I don’t see why it would behave differently on Behemoths compared to Chargers.

      Adjusted flame effects to work more realistically.

      It doesn’t go through various bodies/objects where bounce off would be the expected behavior, like on armors and static objects.

        your telling me it’s not a bug?

        i thought it was somthing to do with the new flame primary and secondarys, that shouldnt be able to kill chargers being applied to the flamethrower

        but, if not, this is so bizzare

          It’s not a bug. They made it so armored units deflect the fire, both alive and dead. You can still cook them, assuming you can aim at the fleshy/less armored bits.

      Thanks to the friendly democrat who wrote this in chat for us yesterday, I was dumping flamethrower mags into a charger and nothing happens, always feel sorry that I can’t type on my gamepad and at least say thx lol.

        On PlayStation you can hold R1 and use the left stick to point at the 4 o’clock position and your character will say “Thank you”.

        Much faster than typing on a controller
