Latest Helldivers 2 bug nerfed the flamethrower, again

The flamethrower in Helldivers 2 isn’t in the best spot, especially considering recent flame changes. And the latest patch came with a bug that unironically made it even less effective.

Helldivers 2 received a small patch 01.001.004 on Aug. 20 with several fixes, including fixes to ragdolling and a fix to where “flamethrower particles would ignore enemies.” Unfortunately, the last part caused an accidental stealth nerf to the FLAM-40 flamethrower, as it now may not deal damage to Charger’s tails at all.
