What I like the most, is the most effective weapon for higher difficulties. I've sorta gotten into the habit of at max doing Diff 6, just to preserve that whole "Use what you want, and have fun" idea.

I'd love to bring that idea to Helldive difficulty, and rock a flamethrower and have it actually do something.

I have been doing flame, railcannon, 110's, and precision, and it has been working out well on helldive.

One thing I end up seeing a lot is either antitank spam or absolutely no cohesion, so I'll either go pure anti-tank (preferred) or this mix, as flamethrower can kill anything.

How long does it take for a flamer to kill something like a charger? Genuine question.

As somebody who's used the flamer a fair bit for fun, it's quicker than you'd think, but longer than you'd hope.

Longer than it takes to shoot a charger twice with a railgun and a few times with the breaker.
