Best Flamethrower Loadout Guide Helldivers 2 and How To Melt Chargers in 2 seconds

Here is how to use the Flamethrower to consistently kill chargers in about 2 seconds. I will also be including what I think will be the best loadout when using this weapon. This is an all around flamethrower guide day 1 after the patch. Keep in mind this can change. I will be including the stream link after I am done playing with it today and may be posting an update if we find anything new. #helldivers2 #flamethrower

I would love a fire stacking mechanic so I can go all out with a fire-based loadout and purge the worlds of alien threats!

I have been using the since the patch dropped, this takes care of ALL bugs up to medium size + chargers with EASE. I was using breaker but found myself having a lot of trouble with hunters... let me tell you: the defender is PERFECT for dealing with them. Being able to sprint and shoot down those jumpy critters behind you with the defender is an absolute game-changer. I think a lot of players still sleep on it as I don't see people run it at all tbh. As for titans, I bring 500kg + railcannon. It's a great loadout I''ve been having a lot of succes with!

My mandalorian build for maximum fun: Flamethrower, Jump pack, Orbital rail canon, Eagle airstrike, Heavy armor (preferably with extra stims, the chance to not die, or the extra armor), scorcher rifle. extreme fun and versatility against bugs. been playing it all day and loving it

[viperman]

honestly the problem tends to be biletitans, so i just bring both railcannon AND 500kg, flamethrower and lasercannon can handle both hordes and chargers (if used correctly) so they arent the main issue.

[epicgod]

Very well informative! It helps alot, thank you so much explaining everything :)

[AppaTheBizon]

I was a huge flamerthrower enjoyer even before the patch, so this buff has been the most cracked shit in the world for me. Can straight up roast an approaching Brood Commander before it gets close enough to attack me most of the time now.

I found the guard dog to be pretty helpful with a flamethrower, personally. It does a pretty decent job of keeping stopping hunters from jumping at me through the fire and stuff. I hear that Guard Dog is not so good at 7/8/9 difficulty though so not sure if that holds up then. I'm still relatively new so I haven't unlocked 7/8/9 yet lol.

also its great to see you consistently posting again, man

What I really hate with the Flamethrower even though I like using them is because when you burn enemies with it. The stalker babies can JUMP at you and then you get BURNED yourself. Almost 80% of my deaths happen this way. Either the fire kills you or the stalker/babies kill you. Its just too dangerous to use. I went back to the arc thrower. Way longer range. It cant kill a charger tho.

Since the backpack slot is less important for this weapon, how about another take: wear your buddy's spear backpack and reload them for the two shot combo on bile titans.

[antant]

Ive had fun with the impact gren and punisher with the flamethrower. Still use the orb lassr and the 500kg bomb.

[ShinraSetora]

They need to add unique stats in heavy armors like immune to fire, would make sense to sacrifice this much mobility and fun to use, anyway, been using the gun cerberus, it got fixed and now reload when the clip is empty, no need of ressources pack, and it's less dangerous for team and yourself than the laser one, it helps quite a bit to stop a wave of bugs when it shoot and you burn everything at the same time, and of course medium medic armor, all the rest is pretty trash sadly.

[morganmememachine]

This is basically what i've been doing pre-patch lmfao. Flying while shooting the flamethrower would always result in me dying tho

[Popsickle]

The Rover or the Shield are also great choices with the flamethrower

[Duskillaz]

I also thought the supply pack would be good. But you get ALL flame canisters resupplied with any resupply pack, even minor ones you find at points of interest.
So instead i go for the rover laser guard. It will help pick off small bugs and hunters, giving you more freedom to focus chargers. And you’ll always end up on top with amount of kills you’ll get 😉

[Fallout_Survivor]

To kill bile titans you need to armor strip then with the automatic railcanon orbital, considering you dont need to use that on chargers if you got the flamer

[Tentacl]

Cool, I'm a fan of flamethrowers in videogames and was really happy htis was buffed, will be able to play later today the first time after the patch. I agree with you, I'd like a fire stacking system better, Guild Wars 2 style, but oh well.

[Porkwhitemeat]

Ive killed a handful of bile titans with it but i finished them off after they were hit by stuff like an orbital rail or EAT. I stood under them and burned directly up at the head neck chest area.

[Darkwater]

Run this with the Laser Guard Dog. Use primary gun for small groups. Swap to flamethrower for breaches. Stratagems for Charger groups/Titans. DO NOT USE ON BOTS.
Do not walk forward and fire flamethrower.
Burn the ground and enemy for extra dps.

[louiswinterhoff]

One thing I gotta add that I’m not sure everyone knows yet, but the Orbital Railcannon can actually one-shot bile titans. It does not always work, but it does sometimes and should always be your first answer to the titans. If it doesn’t work, just hit it with another one if you’re in a team, or shoot out the underbelly

[Reverae]

Laser cannon guide next? Tested it out and its like the opposite of the flamethrower, better for bots compared to bugs.
