    Flamethrower Boss Needs A Nerfing..

    Surely,

    I am not the only one that feels the range on that Flamethrower is out of proportion? Personally I think the range needs to be decreased or equivalent or less to that of either the Outcast Flamethrower or Firewall Specialization range.

    I mean look at that range....that is just crazy long. I have to literally keep running back and shoot so the Flamethrower Boss cannot shoot his flames.

    well old ww2 flamethrower had 20 meters effective range, what it didn't had is unlimited fuel, but this game has no logic and everyone keeps saying rpg lol

    Given weapon ranges from real life has been reduced overall the flame thrower definately looks way off in terms of range. Grenade range on that NPC is also way over the norm. Even the NPC's with grenade launchers don't have ranges that long.

    The Range of all Flame Throwers Cleaners etc is out of control way to long Only way it’s ridiculous you gotta keep distance from them The flames will melt armor in seconds This is just wrong everything about all the NPCs are way overtuned in every single way

    They should have balanaced it so it would be

    Increased range = Decreased damage
    And lower status effect chance.

    Instead as expected they did MOAR DAMAGE MOAR RANGE.
    If they balanced this game properly it would actually be fun.

    Ya their flamethrower are murder no matter the difficulty setting due to their large range.

    As of now the only way around it is to destory their weakpoints being the tanks on his back and sides so he will throw away his flamethrower and go Melee (I believe it is the Tank on his backside) and destroying the other Tank will force him to remove his helmet so we can damage his HP through headshots.

    Destroying the tank that is linked to their flamethrower is the hardest part since it is in a spot that is well guarded by his large body.

    Lol. They do have like 40m range on those damn flamethrowers. But honestly they're scarier once they break out the axe since their armor is unbreakable and only the back tank will make them take the mask off to lay them out.
