Incendiary Rounds

<< < (13/16) > >>

Indreams:
Hmm...

I played a match some time ago with Sgt. Toast or something else.

He screamed "Oh Yeah! 8 STACKS OF FIRE!!" While manning Heavy Flak with Incendiary.

We weren't getting flamed, so I think he meant he put 8 Stacks on the enemy.


I know you can see how badly burnt enemy component is, but can you tell how many stacks?

BlackenedPies:
I've seen what I can only describe as incendiary banshee causing 4 fire stacks in one hit. So it's possible that incendiary adds a second chance to deal the fire stacks of the weapon. Judging from the description it sounds like it just increases the gun's fire chance.

If you look closely you can tell relatively how much fire an enemy component has- or atleast you can with a flamed out gun.

Omniraptor:
yeah, with a flamed gun it's very clear because the entire thing starts glowing bright red.

ZnC:
The discussion has reached something very interesting that I have overlooked. We know incendiary gives 20% to both direct and AoE damage, but does this chance stack with itself to potentially give 2 fire stacks?

If this is true, in theory it would be

* 0 Stack: 64%
* 1 Stack: 32%
* 2 Stacks: 4%After a good 30 minutes of testing, I've found that this IS true and incendiary has individual 20% chances which stacks.

This confused me as a diminishing stack like that would be (32+4)% = 36% fire chance. However, after many rounds of testing, it is still 40%. And within this 40%, there is a small chance you get 2 fires instead of 1. Not sure if this is intended, but it does make incendiary slightly stronger.
