It's my goto weapon in the beggining of each wave in cybergrind

I definitely didnt know how to use the firestarter before this vid, thats the reason i never used this absolute fiery rocket laucher

I dont use it because why would i? Time in UK is almost a defined resource, similar to health and defined by it, so, the more time you have, the better combo you can do, my personal favourite is a triple magnet kickstart overheat nail spam. The electricity travels across magnets and the 2 overheats can kill guttermen and tanks and boosting the damage significantly. I dont use the firestarter because it takes a bit less time for a lot less effect, and also, its hecka unreliable, a swordsmachine can run away from the fire or instantly die to the Kickstarter, the choice you take though is yours

0:44 with gluttony soon to follow..

Why don't use any of the alt weapons

I found it easier dealing with 2 mindflayers compared to 4 cerberi. My strategy for them is like maurice: grapple and shotgun swapping. Occasional ricoshots or screwdriver if I want to deal with maurices or virtues first, then mindflayer is just really easy afterwards. But even if I don't use the screwdriver they're easy. For me at least.

i use it a lot for cerberi, some bosses, carcasses, and if i'm playing on brutal then i also use it for guttermen and guttertanks

Also if you're a hammer junkie like me you can grenade boost a rocket to achieve the same effect as a core nuke, just with less damage and not a red explosion, this will do the trick though.

I thought it was proven that the firestarter doesn't deal extra damage? The extra damage comes from the fire, not by increasing the damage taken. Hakita himself said that he didn't want to make it do the extra damage thing because it would make optimal gameplay not as fun

Why is everything you’re able to do in this game so damn cool

so uhhh, when will all these people realise that this weapon isnt underrated its literally used in speedrunning and brutal cg lmfao, everybody knows about it no one is not reconising its power

Dawg you need a tissue? It sounds like you need to blow your nose 😭😭😭

as a wise man once said "its not arson, its my son"

you sound like you play ultrakill

I am truly sorry but..."☝️🤓" (awesome video tho)

I have been praising the firestarter ever since I unlocked it

you sound like you know math well (no offense)

I actually use this as my main rocket launcher, it’s pretty effective.

ive heard burning enemies from the firestarter also have their damage intake increased to 150%, is this true?? I've used this to my advantage in bosses, and it seems like it is true. It could just be placebo effect playing tricks on me though

I actually use it, I don't use green rocket or red shotgun though

I used to use it before they nerfed it’s underwater abilities. While it did need a nerf, reducing the number of explosions makes it feel so weak (it has a far weaker controller vibration now and is quieter due to there being half as many explosions, weak feedback makes it feel like it barely did anything). I still think they should have halved the explosion damage rather than halve the number of explosions. Anyways, while I agree that it could be strong if used correctly, and there are definitely people that will use it well, it doesn’t really fit with my playstyle that well unfortunately. I usually only use rocket launchers for drones, sometimes cerberus, or punching the cannonball at something, and also never rocket ride (would be stuck in the fire) or core nuke. Good video though, hope it convinces more people who can fit this into their playstyle to try using it

what are you talking about, i use the Firestarter way not than the Marksman

cool vid my guy, next time put on some background music that switches when appropriate.

you forgot to say how you can just nullify the rocket launcher greatest weakness... having to aim, by just taping m2 and m1 on the floor you can hit enemies more easily.

Pyro tf2 dream (of cruelty)

i dont use this in cg for area coverage because thats just not how i roll in fact, i dont use anything for area coverage (because the only one i know for area is nuking and core sniping and i fucking suck at the game) still got to wave 53 though

Personally I use the firestarter plenty, it's especially good for big bosses because of how the voxel system works. Spread the oil all over them and it does massive damage.

preach, also 666 subs

3:15 ☠☠☠

people genuinely sleep on this weapon a lot, but i cant blame them since i used to as well, but since running nails ive relied on this a lot for my AOE besides explosions, and it does absolutely great at it too. i can even just pull it out in quickswap combos randomly (fs on one lol) and just overall this weapon genuinely is just free ass damage, and i love it

I use this thing plenty. Good when waiting between waves to throw gas down on the most traveled-through area of the map. Also great against Insurrectionists, as they take a ton of bonus damage when on fire and keeping it lit is really beneficial

I dont use this weapon cuz my fat ass fingers cant reach the 5 key comfortably

No alt shot and rev CRINGE

I use it

Problem: Streetcleaners aren’t doing enough flamenverpping. Solution: “Fine then, I’ll do it myself.”

"easily one of the best crowd clear options" you have better crowd clear by holding left click, right clicking and releasing left click with the jackhammer, or better yet, right clicking and pressing 4 once. The firestarter is in desperate need of a buff. Its pathetic. each tick deals less damage damage than a feedbacker punch. The only actual use for people who prefer a more hands on approach than spamming attacks from a range while rocket riding is oiling a malicious face to make it vulnerable to explosions for easy instakills and making a guttertank slip. Insurrectionists dont burn for a noticably longer amount of time while oiled. Its a worthless variant that is overshadowed by every other weapon.

So what your saying is I should light up the Cybergrind arena

i really like using it in the cybergrind, it kills a lot of husks and street clearners easly

i love the firestarter basically the only rocket launcher i use

The biggest problem with this weapon is that there are way better and stilish-er ways to get rid of a group of enemies

So is it like a 2nd sawtrap?

You should have emphesized the fact that enemies that are burning from the firestarter take increased damage overall, making it an excellent weapon to switch to every now and then with high healt targets to apply a free damage multiplier upon said target.

nah i BEEN using this one bro

its ok

Personally I just don't like the idea of accidentally flying through the flames when I'm at 10 HP and combusting. The thing kind of encourages you to empty the entire tank into a room and that's a LOT of stage hazards you're making there.

It took me some warming up to include the Firestarter into my gameplay & its an actual game-changer. In a game where you can clear rooms as fast as possible, the Firestarter is like a particle accelerator

No I use it all the time I'm not even joking

For me personally, i dont use it because i just cant be asked to relearn my rocket launcher muscle memory. Even though it hurts me to know that im missing out on a big damage boost.

I use it all the time

correction: ultrakills' most underrated weapon is the S.R.S cannon, because be honest
