Helldivers 2 - Testing the NEW Flamethrower, Is It Good Now？ (High Difficulty Tips)

Post-patch buffs make the flamethrower effective against Chargers, medium armour, and swarms, sometimes killing Chargers within two canister reloads. It remains poor against Bile Titans; burning enemies rush forward, while spreading fire repeatedly ignites Daniel or teammates. New 500-kill Exterminate missions are much harder; knockdowns, Bile Titans, inaccessible gear, and Hellpod steering problems cause repeated deaths.

The flamethrower gains a medium-threat niche, but mission difficulty exposes limits preventing railgun replacement.
