The Firebug is primarily a class specializing in mob control. His main task is to ignite groups of specimens early to help thin out the smaller zeds, dealing with ranged threats while softening up larger targets and making them easier to deal with. To accomplish this, the Firebug utilizes fire-based damage, receiving bonuses for the Flamethrower, MAC-10, Trenchgun, Husk fireball launcher, and (with a DLC purchase) the Flare Revolver. For all of the five weapons, the Firebug is given a damage bonus of up to 60%, a discount of up to 70%, increased ammo capacity of up to 60%, and faster reload speed (with the exception of the Husk fireball launcher, which doesn't reload).

Firebug is the distraction and a threat eliminator for the team. Their flame based weaponry can cut through the horde and kill ranged threats like Siren with ease, taking the Husk's attention away from less capable friends. Also he can accommodate in dealing with big targets crisping, slowing them down. Firebugs are meant to deliver fear and flames by standing at the front lines just behind the Berserker class, in the line with Support Specialist, yet they're not as durable as Berserker, nor have instant damage spikes like Support; that makes them the "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" in the terms of gameplay. Yet, they're highly important and act as a backbone for team to deal with big targets to clear the path of their destruction.

As Firebug,you can either:

1. Provide support from behind,using the much safer MAC-10.

or...

2. Clear the path for your teammates with the Flamethrower. Which had higher risk of hurting teammates.

As a support,its pretty much self-explanatory ngl. All you had to do is provide support from behind.

As a Frontline Attacker however...
-Dont just burst the enemies with your flamethrower,try using single-fire if there are only 5-7 of them.
-Dont get behind your teammates,you must stay on the frontline to avoid friendly fire.
-Try to finish every single enemy you burned,as they could run to you or your teammates and burn them.

And thats all for Firebug. What do you expect?
