Lore & Background

It can be achieved by igniting an enemy with the Flamethrower, an Incendiary Grenade, or by kicking them into a fire hazard such as a fuel leak or explosive barrel. The Skillshot is a core part of the game's combat loop, rewarding players for stylish and varied kills rather than simple gunplay.
