Flamer doesn't stagger anything?

Flamer, the weapon with the lowest TTK (but high DoT value), a short range, no mobility, a long reload…
Now doesn’t even stagger naked pox walkers with Alt Fire?

Emperor be damned FS hates this weapon.

When did that tweak happen?

Forever? Pox walkers are immune to suppression from any weapon. Their horde gimmick is that they are dumb, brainless zombies. This affords them some decent HP and the protection of shuffling mindlessly under fire where Groaners cower and hide, but they are a lot slower in movement speed.

i meant everything*

Stagger thresholds got increased as part of the new patch, because it’s fun to hit things and have them not respond in any way whatsoever. it’s probably related to that.

Noticed this. Ragers no longer writhe in place when I focus them with a flamer. However, the stagger-on-burning blessing(Fan the Flames?) for the Flamer’s primary fire got gigabuffed, I think. Flamers are absurdly strong. So strong I’d say it’s channeled fire doesn’t need high stagger and it already does a great job at medium range suppression.

Also, it seems quite characteristic that Ragers would charge through a flamethrower without flinching. The primary fire stagger is still there if it’s really needed.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Flamer damaged got nerfed by like 10-15% or it’s ammo consumption got increased.
