Overview
The Enhanced Combustion ship module provides a 25% increase to fire damage from stratagems such as the flamethrower, napalm airstrikes, and incendiary mines, excluding incendiary grenades and shotguns.
A fire-oriented stratagem build was deployed and tested against Terminids on Helldive difficulty across defense and ICBM missions.
Themes
Stratagem loadout configuration consisting of the flamethrower, napalm strikes, the 500 kg bomb, and either incendiary mines or a jump pack.
Performance and efficacy of fire damage when used against Terminid variants, including heavy units like Chargers and Bile Titans.
Hazards of self-inflicted damage resulting from spreading fire and contact with ignited enemies.
Developments
Completion of a Terminid defense mission utilizing incendiary mines, napalm strikes, and flamethrower fire.
Start of an ICBM mission after replacing incendiary mines with a jump pack alongside the flamethrower and napalm strike.
Uncertainties & gaps
Whether the 25% fire damage buff from the ship module functions correctly or is hindered by gameplay bugs.
The degree of damage effectiveness the flamethrower provides against Bile Titans relative to their health pool and necessary proximity.
Whether armor pieces possessing flame-resistant traits are available in the game.
