The Breaker Incendiary： Testing the only FIRE type weapon in Helldivers 2 (INSANE DAMAGE)

Today we'll be looking at the Incendiary

Breaker Shotgun. It's a very unique

weapon. It's one of the only weapons in

Helldivers 2 where it actually has

incendiary ammunition and can set your

enemies on fire. So the Incendiary Breaker

Shotgun is a variant of the Breaker

Shotgun series, and it's a pretty good

shotgun. Now, it doesn't do as much damage

as the Breaker Shotgun or the Slugger or

the Punisher, but it does do a lot more

damage than the horrible Breaker Spray and

Pray Shotgun, which is just a terrible

shotgun. So it's kind of like a nice

in-between shotgun with also fire effects.

So you can set your enemies on fire with

it and do some additional fire damage.

And this fire damage does penetrate armor,

so even though the bullets might not do

damage through medium armor, the fire

ability does set things on fire even if

they have thick armor. So one thing to

note about this shotgun is that the spray

is very wide. It spreads its bullets and

pellets very wide. It doesn't have such a

small area of damage like the Breaker

shotgun does. Does. So you will be able to

hit more things more easily, but when

things are kind of far away from you,

you're going to be doing pretty pathetic

damage just because the spread of the

pellets is so wide. So it does mean you're

going to have to be fairly close to the

enemies to be able to do any kind of

reasonable damage, and aiming at long

range, you might as well just give up and

not even bother. It's pretty good at

killing swarms of enemies. The light

armored enemies go down fairly quickly

just from a couple shots, or maybe even

one shot. And against medium armored

enemies like the Armored Charger and the

Brood Commander, And the armored walkers,

it's not great, to be honest. It doesn't

do much damage against the armor. Well,

it doesn't do any, and the fire damage

doesn't really seem to be that great. So

things can be on fire and they don't die.

It seems like it takes a lot of fire

damage for them to actually finally die.

If you do some testing and you just set

them on fire and run away without shooting

them, and then you shoot again to catch

them on fire again and see how long it

takes, it takes quite a long time. So to

be able to get this weapon, you have to go

to the Premium Steel Veterans War Bonds

and go to page 2, and you'll find the

Incendiary Breaker Shotgun here. And you

can see the stats: it does 180 damage,

capacity of 25, recoil 28, fire rate 300—

is very fast— and it's got 2 traits. So

compared to the other shotguns, it has

light armor penetrating, just like all of

them do apart from the Slugger actually

has medium penetration, and it also has

incendiary, which none of them do have.

Incendiary. And we've got 180 damage,

which is better than the Breaker Spray and

Pray, but it's worse than all of the other

shotguns. And it also has similar fire

rates to the Breaker Shotgun but does

nearly half the damage. But the fire might

make up for the loss of damage. So it's,

it's kind of like in between the Spray and

Pray but below all the other shotguns.

It's not great, to be honest. I would like

to see it have a bit more damage or a bit

more fire damage. Okay, so if I check out

the weapon, you can see there's 2 fire

modes: burst and semi. Semi just does one

shot, so you have to keep clicking it,

and burst will do burst shots. If you hold

it down, it'll do 3 shots. Oh look, a

stalker. And if you keep spamming the

mouse, it would fire fairly rapidly.

Yeah, it's not bad at taking down stalkers

in one magazine. Took quite a lot of shots

though. And then you can see these things,

they will get set on fire and then they'll

take fire damage. It's pretty good at

taking out these little guys, the flappy

ear guys, the Brood Commander guys.

The problem is it doesn't really seem like

the fire does much damage because they'll

take fire damage and they'll go on fire,

but they don't seem to die from it. They

always die from just you shooting at them.

So in these situations where you're

getting swarmed, it's pretty good for

crowd control.

As you can see, it's pretty effective at

taking these guys down.

But as soon as you have armored enemies

like this guy, you start having problems.

Uh, maybe not. He went down as well. Now

I'm out of ammo, so this thing really

chews up a lot of ammo. I've got to switch

to the Redeemer. Why are there so many?

Give me a break. Jesus,

get lost. Okay, I need to resupply.

Oh my god, I got killed by one thing. A

tongue. One of the little stupid

enemies killed me. I can't believe it. I

couldn't do anything, kept spamming

attacks.

Okay, go back down.

Oh my god, there's basically nothing you

can do against a Charger. You can set the

Charger on fire, but it probably doesn't

do much damage against it.

Oh my god, you're basically screwed.

I can't even get my Strashtons out. Oh, I

can't do anything. They keep stunning,

stun locking me. This game is so annoying

sometimes, the way you get crowd

controlled, you get snared, you can't call

down a Strathchrim because you keep

getting stunned or pushed around.

It's so irritating. I really wish they

fixed heavy armor so it

stops you getting stunned or snared. And

these idiots aren't rezzing me. Look,

this idiot's just running around.

If I was team leader, I would have kicked

them by now. Come on,

Jesus, how freaking long does it take?

I got its front leg.

I think it's dead. Sometimes they look

like they're dead, but they're not dead.

Oh, I threw a grenade and he just ran in

The annoying thing about this gun is it's

really rapid-fire and it's got a big

spread, but it barely does any damage. It

just feels like you're tickling the enemy.

The only time it's good is like that now.

Now it's pretty good because you can just

mow these guys down. But at that point,

the fire doesn't matter because the

bullets alone kill them pretty quickly. I

really wish the fire actually made a

difference. See, look, it's on fire. I

just shot it loads and the fire goes out,

but it's still alive. The fire goes out

after just a few seconds, which is stupid.

The fire shouldn't go out until they're

burned to a crisp.

You can set the charges on fire too,

but again, I don't know if it's actually

Yeah, it's pretty rubbish. It's slightly

better than the Praying Spray.

Or the spray and pray.

How many times does that happen to you?

You've got no idea some stupid Charger's

behind you, and then you get one-shot.

Get some airstrikes. I can't even get the

airstrikes down. Constantly one-shot

out of nowhere, and you can't even see

where it's coming from. So many times I

got one-shot because some Bile Titan or

Bile Spewer just snuck up behind me and

spewed at me. All my legs and

arms came off.

Maybe I'll just stay up here where it's

safe. Can you set the bile—

oh, you can! You can set the bile titan on

fire.

It's still on fire, but it doesn't seem to

be doing anything.
