A lot of people complain about firebugs because they're annoying, but some people just don't know how to play them. FB is meant to crowd control, you should not enrage big zeds with crowd control weapons. However you can still handle big zeds pretty easily with weapons like the Helios Rifle if you're sure to take them down. The zed shrapnel is very satisfying to use and very powerful. Remember firebugs are trash cleaners so they are just making it easier for bigger DPS to focus on bigger zeds! Don't hate Firebugs!

You're statement seems a little confusing to me. People hate them because (in my experience at least) the majority of firebugs will set everything on fire. You describe how it should be played, and I dont mind such firebugs at all as they can be useful enabling big gamehunters like GS, Demo or SS. Fact is tho, mostly when I have a firebug I already know the killing of FP and scrake will be much harder than it would be without. Its just a stereotype "brain-dead" perk as most players play it braindead. They hold M1, hit R every once in a while and just look at all their fire on the screen.

I still need practise though to realize when my help is needed on big zed takedowns and when not.

just to add some important stuff for MWG from an old Firebug Main. MWG is by far the deepest skill weapon for Firebug with lots of potential, there is a lot of tech to learn about it to use it at maximum potential, some of which are shared with Firebug's General Tech usages. Literally Firebug's mechanic techs are so deep, you could do a video just for them because it involves a lot of AI abuse, game understanding and positioning. I will state what tech is used in brackets. E.g Score steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/789755989265921074/3C4F373021FC4BAA450E8590AF910593E56A8B52/ MWG is basically a Neutral RPG, it can shred through any HVT's and works best in Horde Situations, never 1 v 1, leave those to Marksmans while you deal with Hordes. Because it takes roughly the same ammo regardless of how many you catch, 1 QP? 50-60 ammo, 4 QP's? still about 50-60 ammo, 8 QP's? maybe 80, 1 FP? 150 ammo, 3 FP's? about maybe 180. If you can efficiently AoE, MWG overpowers all other Anti-HVT's. (AoE Tech, Clumping Mechanics with Aggro and Heatwave, Positioning). You can also extend your clip cap by doing the Ammo bug, giving you another 16.7% increased Ammo Capacity. QP Effectiveness: streamable.com/hgr3f It's also a very strong Defensive tool, much stronger than most people think, to the point that as long as you have Ammo, you 'Tank' better than even Zerk does since you avoid damage while holding the line. MWG effectively provides you 3 extra CC's against HVT's, Knockback, Knockdown and Stun off Shrapnel (Because you can kill Trash while killing/controlling HVT's since it's an AoE weapon, I've fed MM's SC's on a silver platter because I pushed them into a burning Trash Horde), this allows CC chaining to SC's (Heatwave > KD > Panic > repeat) and QP's are literally fodder for you since they take full KB. Now FP's tend to resist it, yes? Well, for FP's there is this Tech I discovered that utilizes Attack Baiting and Attack Cooldown (Attack Baiting Tech). E.g Vid: streamable.com/91xjt. Basically how it works, is that FP's loses their KB Resistance when attacking, by Pulsing right as he's attacking, you can send him back far enough that his attacks can miss you. Since FP has a 1s CD on his attacks as well, he'll have to wait 1s more before he can attack again. Put tgt with Heatwave and you can buy lots of time (In the video, he takes 30s just to go around the corner). Do also note the juicy confused animation, due to the attack CD, aft the Heatwave KB that any decent Marksman can get a free decap off. You can go further if you know how to do Body Blocking (Zed Body Blocking Tech) and do stupid stuff like this. E.g streamable.com/01s48. Notice that the 2nd FP never reaches me because the 1st FP would always block him. And if you want to take it further, you can abuse AI Pathing (AI Pathing Mechanics) to do this without terrain E.g streamable.com/43cd4. Because Body Blocking also involves Clumping, your Demo's will love you. I've used this same Techs to Solo Wall for chokes like Tragic Coaster, Catacombs, Multi-Zone Maps and even Black Forest. You also need to know how to make good decisions on where and when to CC (Decision making off experience) and understand how to support other Perks by knowing how they actually play (Actually Mastering other Perks, I'm capable of hitting 40+ HVT's and over 800 HS's on ACOG SS, Com and GS normally), M99 SS can't shoot Raged Spawned FP head due to angle? Heatwave to open it for him. GS getting flanked? Delay one of them while he kills the other. Literally, when you play the perks, you know what peeves you had and as FB, you can fix those for others. I once let a M99 SS sit there the whole game even when 3 Raged FP came running at us. And one more tech which probably still isn't patched as it's an AI thing, streamable.com/1bn1w you literally cheese Abomination due to a Ground Fire > Heatwave loop. Just.... make sure nobody goes into Melee range (Zerks and yourself), Flamethrower makes this easier.

I haven't played any difficulty above Hard yet, cause I'm still learning the maps and how other characters play etc but so far I've had no problems playing firebug with helios rifle + incendiary rifle with focus on clearing smal/medium zeds. So then I decided to look for guides however, when I started reading and watching guides, 95% of the people in comments seem to be convinced that firebug sucks and is totally useless on Suicidal and HoE difficulty. I had to partially agree to this because I noticed my damage was significantly lower than GS/Demo/SS in all the games I played so far. But I didn't give up and kept looking for tips and suggestions until I found this comment. Now I have a hope that I can master my favourite perk to become useful on any difficulty. There is a ton of stuff to learn and practice but I@m sure I won't be disappointed now ). I've already found your guide on pastebin and started reading it.

@@Re3Ns there used to be some test maps, but idk whether they are still updated. I've not played the game since ard 2 years ago. Stopped on the patch the Lightsaber was out. Disappointed because not Crossperked with Firebug (psst, it's theoretically more OP on Firebug than Zerk as in theory, your swings would proc Heatwave, allowing you to swing at Trash while being relatively safe as any zed you missed is CC-ed. More Burst AoE KD is a plus). If you want to do specific training like I showed in the linked videos, you can start up a Single Player and activate Cheats. The wiki has a console command list where you can spam zeds and stuff. Scrake Control with MWG is basically rotating your KD and Fire Panic to AoE down hordes. If it's a solo/duo SC, go call a Marksman to do their job :X streamable.com/u3khj (This is back before they buffed Fire Panic and made it even less chaotic) I'll leave this pastebin here which was my tips/notes/examples for the KF2 Discord I was in.

As a Firebug main, I believe that while the perk may seem like a trash only perk, it can actually be a substitute a big ZED killer AND be a good crowd controller. The first step of doing that is realizing that while the Flamethrower is a fun weapon it only holds you back by forcing you to focus on the trash mob. Here's my Firebug build that allows me to handle any ZEDs that comes my way but also know that I only play on Suicidal difficulty and NOT on Hell on Earth difficulty... "Tryhard Firebug" (Solo/I KILL EVERYTHING build) PERKS: -Bring the Heat -Barbecue -ZED Shrapnel -Heat Wave -Pyromaniac WEAPONS: -Duel Spitfires Tier 4 - primary -Helios Rifle - backup NOTES: -Spitfires have high DOT so let the fire do the damage instead of wasting your ammo -ZEDs killed with fire have a chance of leaving burning corpses that transfers their fire to other ZEDs so use that to your advantage and build a pyre of burning corpses -Both weapons have ballistic damage on hit so aim for the head if possible -Helios Rifle is used best against EDARS, Scrakes, Fleshpounds, and Quarterpounders or for long range husk kills -Bring the Heat can be changed for High Capacity Fuel Tank if you don't want to spend half the time reloading and/or just want to have fun

Same here and it's not even my main. The potential Barbeque adds is often outshined by groundfire, so many cool builds people don't run with, but they only become more apparent to the user as they get more advanced and familiar with Firebugs potential. You can play it like a DoT ranged commando/gunslinger or play more risky/aggressively with Microwave/flames at the front lines taking advantage of groundfire+Heatwave, the latter being more beneficial to the team because you can save people from FPs/QPs Scrakes / swarms with the deadly GroundFire+HEATWAVE if you know what you're doing. You should try the DragonBreath too, instead of the SpitFires (or mix and match), DoT is nice with BBQ and it has piercing. The MAC-10 is much better with Barbeque, even the HUSK cannon, heck anything that's projectile based benefits from Barbeques extended DoT.

I can't lie, as someone who often plays solo, I swear by the Husk Cannon. I don't think Tripwire truly realised the monster they've created in this thing. It'll flatten Fleshpounds with ease, I've noticed Scrakes go down in a couple fully-charged shots on Hard and a little more on Suicidal, the uncharged shot is great for clearing out weaker foes and if you are good at gauging how much punch you need a shot to have to drop a foe, it's extremely efficient and gloriously fun. Not to mention, I'm somehow not garbage at aiming the damned thing, which is probably because hitting the head is kind of irrelevant with it and I'm garbage at hitting consistent headshots. Not to mention, it's just plain fun to use. Granted, it'll be way less efficient in harder, multiplayer games where enemy health is ramped up, but hey.

Firebug, in my opinion, is the true king of crowd control in kf2. When played well, ground fire can wall off sections and filter small zeds to assist your teammates to take out big zeds efficiently without raging big zeds. But here's hoping players won't mindlessly spray fire at everything. However, when everyone is in a pickle. With the microwave gun, a good and very experienced firebug can juggle raged Scrakes, fleshpounds and quarters. The go-to-build as a CC firebug would be the Caulk and the MWG. Conserving ammo while getting lots of kills, it is possible to get MWG at wave 3, +1 it 2 waves later and you are good to go. It is true that other classes can handle Scrakes so much more better, but when the time comes to juggle zeds before being overwhelmed, firebug can do its job killing them while also juggling zeds at the same time. I have been taught the art of fb by a god fb player, and even I have success in CC everything before.

The best thing about the MWG is that QPs have no weight like other trash zeds, they are weak to microwave damage and pretty low HP which makes the MWG shred through a group of them better than the Helios rifle (and sharpshooters or gunslingers). Since QPs can spawn in groups of 6 it can be very strong. The Helios is only really worth getting if you have a Mando, in which case the Mac10/spitfires can also shine (although at that point you might as well play GS or even SWAT with his new nailgun). The main problem I have with firebug is it's just so boring to play and spammy for my liking...

I always tend to hold a spot or line on my own until the big zeds arrive. By then I try to keep my fire away from the bigs as much as I can and look for small zed stragglers.

Best firebug loadout for me now is like your caulk'n'burn + helios, except for c'n'b replaced with dual flareguns +2 for HoE. I'll explain why. Flareguns, surprisingly make a little fire explosion that can set a little group of zeds on fire, plus it has a chance to create a little ground fire point with a fire pellet (its not affected by groundfire perk though) so that its pretty much effective to 'oneshot' (a direct flare hit plus one/two DoTs of fire) a siren or gorefiends and bloats. Mac-10 has a very small chance to create fire pellet drop down from a bullet hit than flareguns too. During ZED time you can create a huge ground flame zone that surprisingly lasts longer than molotov one. My Perklist for that loadout for HoE: bring the heat barbeque ZED shrapnel heatwave (for me was a surprise how it affects even single ponds of fire) and left lvl 25 perk that allows to shoot faster during ZED time.

My own personal recommendations on builds: "Boss Round Build" Fully Upgraded Husk Arm Cannon (assuming you know how to use it with fully charged shots) Spitfires (upgraded as high as possible) Trash isn't too much of an issue on Boss Rounds but the Husk Cannon can do really good damage on bosses as long as you know how to hit those charged shots. Alternative Boss round build: Helios and Upgraded MAC 10 for magdumps. Don't skimp on Molotov Cocktails! They can give you breathing room for when you need to reload. Don't get surrounded! You have no tanking skills outside of your Crowd Control with your flamethrower and it doesn't shoot at zeds behind you!

Added tip; HEATWAVE [?] i forgot it's name, the skill that gives you increased stumble power; it's actually 1001x stumble power (works on everything except bosses) and it procs within 3 meters of Zeds...this is a really useful skill because if you time it right and combine with ground fire (that does double damage) you can effectively stun lock raging FPs/QPs Scrakes with the tap-technique. It's a nice tactic because it allows you to interrupt the large Zeds, especially if they are running at you, even buying you some time and melting them if need be, this could very well save you if trapped in a corner by FPs/QPs Scrakes .ect it has for me. I say to use ground fire with this because ground fire gives you x 2 DOUBLE damage , which actually translates to ignoring fire-resistance as the x 2 damage is greater than their fire-resistance .L0L plus with Napalm you can do this to the whole pack if surrounded , talk about 'concentrated fire ' That's with a mere cokk n burn, it's even more deadly with a MicrowaveGun because FPs/QPs+Scrakes don't resist this damage type. But you might prefer to take FIRESTORM only if your main weapon is the Microwave; because it gains the most from this skill - base range is 10 meters, increases to 16 meters, IMO Heatwave if essential for higher difficulty games for interrupting Zed and more value than having better Microwave distance .

My full load out (most of the time) Weapons: Dragonsbreath and Microwavegun Skills: Bring the Heat, Barbecue, Zed Shrapnel, Heat Wave, Pyromaniac. I run this load out to better deal with big zeds because I play solo a lot, and if I find myself separated from the group in multiplayer. Trash zeds are still easy to kill, but I can’t handle as many at a single time. However, I am able to hold off and kill fleshpounds and scrakes much more effectively. The trade off is worth it for me personally.
@ADR_JaiDe_N5 жыл бұрын
Barbeque is only good for the projectile guns, it makes the Dragon Breath really good DoT (plus it has piercing for being a shogun) - but at the same time you could be getting double damage with the Microwavegun if you took ground fire, it's really strong with ground fire + up close and personal HEATWAVE will start to work for you much better. I'd recommend Napalm (adds crowd control) if you try the Microwave with Groundfire.
