opinions?

basically a way to set huge mobs on fire quickly without obscuring vision as much.

blunt force damage gives firebug a possible chance to eliminate large specimens up close by firing a huge metal can in their face.

I hate so say it, but didn't BLOOD have the exact same weapon?

I dream of there being a mod that ports Postal 2's gas can in for the Firebug. Complete with matches to set fires with.

Make fire walls, pour gas on things, use the can as a bomb. It was such a fun weapon.

Or the napalm launcher. That thing that fired a can that spewed out napalm left and right as it flew through the air, then exploded on contact.

I think that the firebug could do with a H&K Grenade Pistol.



It's a small two-handed thing, warrants a not-too-high weight, and can be used for the purpose you've described. It could use incendiary grenades and shoot with an arc similar to the flamer rather than the M79. It'd explode with thin smoke and sparks and stuff, as opposed to an explosion like the frag grenades and husk gun.

Altfire for it (and possibly the M79) could be to change the ladder sight's set range and allow for better long-range shots rather than guesstimates.

A Pistol Type Launcher With Banking Would Just Be Fun To Use. Also, Why Can't We Add Throwing Stars? (and yes i know that they are off topic, but they are REALLY fun to use in real life)

because they would be useless as hell

Also, alt-fire to change range would be really nice.

Blood (game) - all weapons demonstration and gameplay - YouTube

the "Napalm Launcher" is at 0:53 and every weapon in BLOOD has an alternate fire, which they also show.

Postal 2 is a WICKED fun game! I love how somebody had made KF-Paradisemalleast custom level for Killing Floor.

an interesting idea is that firebug has the ability to automatically apply fire damage bonuses when he uses demo 40mm weapons, much like how he has fire grenades.

no new weapons, just coding tweaks.

Agree, if the firebug could make the grenades from the M32 and M79, incidenary, then it would expand the role for th firebug a bit more. I think based off what ive read so far, the three things that would help the firebugs would be new weapons, old weapons with special alt-fire ability, and grenades fired from a FB (m32 and M79) can cause fire too

Just the M79.

A firebug's role is to light and kite, not to spike damage deal. M79 sets everyone on fire in a radius, excellent. The M32 kills things outright, which isn't the firebug's point.

I'd also like to see damage reduction with the nades from launchers, and fire DoTs, similar to normal hand grenades vs fire nades.

I suggested throwing your canister of ammo from the FT in this thread:

somewhat similar.

Actually, poosh made an M79 Incendiary on his ScrN mutator, and it is AWESOME! It feels perfectly balanced too.

Better yet, it is a seperate weapon to the regular M79, so if you want the regular M79 as Firebug, you can still get it. On top of that, if you want the incendiary M79 as non-firebug, you can also do that!

Yeah, and in ScrnBalance v2.65. I made Alternate fire of Husk Gun to act like a Napalm Launcher: it has no impact Damage, but huge burn damage and explosion radius. It's not yet available for public download - need to test balance before. But you can test it on ScrN server.

Sorry for double post, just read the post about Blood: it was an awesome game back on those years, with epic weapons. I'd like to see throwable TNT and Aerosol Canister in KF...
