I’ve been using fire as my go-to weapon for all factions, but I’m curious if it’s actually a good choice overall. What do you guys think?

I’m not a fan of fire for bots, but it does the job against the other two factions without a doubt.
Fire is effective, as it can take down most things with enough application. Flamethrowers are particularly deadly given time and guts! But just a heads up, it struggles with structures like bug holes and fabricators; you’ll want explosives for those.
Fire works great against bugs and decent against squids, but it’s pretty hit-or-miss with bots unless you can get close. The Scythe, Dagger, Laser Cannon, or even a guard dog rover with a laser are solid options to deliver fire effectively. They can ignite enemies pretty well!
Fire isn’t the best against bots, and it definitely doesn’t help with taking out key structures like bug holes or fabricators. It can actually hinder progress if you rely too heavily on it.
I heard they nerfed fire against bots recently, so it’s definitely not as effective anymore. Plus, it doesn’t clear out fabs or bug holes, which can be a real issue.
Absolutely, laser weapons are definitely MVPs this patch!
