When I load out with the Breaker Incendiary, one of my friends will occasionally yell "WHY AM I ON FIRE?!" and I just have to play it off like I have no idea.
Yeah, but there's still the issue that burning damage doesn't appear to work for anyone but the host. Unless you're leading those squads, there's still no reason to use the Breaker Incendiary or napalm.
How does the fire breaker interact with armor? I know fire is supposed to ignore it, but I'm not sure if the exact interaction between armor piercing and fire.
The bullet damage doesn't penetrate, but the fire damage does. So it can still kill things like Hive Guards pretty easily. I usually don't use it against bots though, but maybe it's better on this latest patch?
What usually happens is you get swarmed pretty often. Like really really swarmed. Coming from all sides. If you're not paying attention it's super easy to walk into someone's firing line. Or your tracking something and it's attacking your team and you end up blasting both. Often it's like "throwing an nuke!" And someone isn't paying attention when running then go right into it and blamo!
