The flamethrower is still bonkers good, even against chargers. The community (really just the main subreddit) is just toxic af, reactive, misinformed, and educated only by what someone else on YT or Twitch tells them.
The takes over there have me legitimately questioning if any of them actually play the game and at what difficulty.
I totally agree that the community has been toxic as of late, but they're not totally unfounded. If you're playing diff7 or higher, the plethora of chargers choke flamethrower users. You simply don't have the space and the time to target the butt of every charger, doubly so if you're playing with randos.
I only drop on 8+ and I wholly reject your premise. You shouldn’t even be focusing the butt of the charger, the gaps in leg armor are your targets with the flame thrower and they go down almost as fast as they did before last Thursday.
I do agree that the main sub on Reddit is pretty toxic.
It’s okay to be upset, but I think people want to be upset about something, and have been stewing in this too much that they’ve least perspective that this is v a small studio game they paid half the price of a AAA for.
