To make up for the fact the Zerker sucks. Don't waste your breath trying to refute it, its common knowledge now.

Husks are absolutely deadly when you're distracted with other zeds. Just wait, man...just wait.

A common ranged enemy on suicidal (sirens are enough of a problem as it is and they have shorter range) constitutes a huge threat but it's still rather easy to evade his fire (sidestep right before they fire) and he doesn't spawn nearly enough (I've seen him less than sirens) even though he can spawn already in the first wave.
Everyone on the team has the ability to take him down easy at range except 'zerker. The only reason he's even an issue is because he is one of the few specs that deal damage at range (tends to suprise people more) and he can spawn any wave but doesn't spawn much (sort of you always have to assume he'll be there but he rarely is). Minor annoyance of normal (especially with new weapons), moderate threat on hard, Major threat on suicidal (all specs deal absurb damage and he can at range).

The Husk is fine.
One annoying bastard if you're running out of ammo
Especially now when alot of low levels are playing with the chaos that ensures

Like the others said, they have no immunity, just high resistance; the big utility that Firebugs have now is that they can draw the Husk's attention away tanking its fire while the others take it down.
Besides, hacking them with Machete is great fun when they can't damage you at all.

They can still punch you

Meh, i unloaded over 1 full tank into it on lvl5 Firebug and that was as the only survivor on Hard. Its enough to call it immunity imo. Its not really enough to call the Firebug useful for taking them down. They usually come behind waves of foes so burning the frontline obscures the Husk so Sharpshooters can't kill it and blocking the shot isn't really worth relying on.

a whole 2 or 3 damage per hit off your health lol. I will give Husks being toughasses. I watched a FP/husk battle for a good bit before the husk ate ****.

Ever heard the word "kiting"? Get in, slash to the head, wait for his attack to be done, get in, slash to the head... 2 alt attacks to the head with Machete make short work of it on suicidal.
Like I said it's more of a tanking role. What are they actually doing if they're shooting the Firebug (even if they're hidden)? Plain nothing; by the time they come in front of the flamer they're a nice, big, harmless target for the others.

Yeah, when you're bunkered down in a hallway or funneling them through one door way. That's true of every single specimen in the game except the FP, and it's even true for him to a lesser extent.
On the move, out in the ope, Husks are bad news. Measuring a specimen's effectiveness when they walk into 6 guns blazing isn't a good metric to use.

I can't help but get a bit fired up (pun intended) over comments like this. You're a human. He is AI. Use your imagination. Can he hurt you with fire? No. Can you hurt him with fire? (No, though as a high lvl firebug you might do it once just to get the achievement). Your team expects you to deal with Husk coz you are immune. Oh noes, what do you do, what Dooooooo you do???
Spoiler!
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT HUSKS AND GRENADES
Is there some kind of relationship between throwing grenades when husks are about and having the grenade blow up in your own face? My friends and I were getting self-naded about 1600% more often over the weekend, and generally we could have sworn that we had aimed the shot safely.

drift, don't be such a tool. That was the FIRST and ONLY time i have bothered playing Firebug since this update, before i knew they were practically immune to Fire.

We've been experiencing a lot of 'nade suicides since the patch too. I'm starting to wonder if Husks detonate grenades with their flames much like the siren was supposed to, before TWI decided it was too unforgiving on the players.
