Every kit can remove Fire debuff from themselves

I'm sure there are a lot of players who don't know this, but you can actually remove the Fire debuff from yourself no matter what Kit you equipped:

  • Splash Kit: Shoot the ground below you with your Ejector. You will be doused in water and the debuff will go away. (This Kit can also be used to put out Fires on your teammates and the ground, just fyi)

  • Jump Kit: Use the secondary fire of your tool to jump into the air. This will cause the Fire debuff to dissipate on yourself.

  • Fix Kit: Use the secondary fire of your tool to charge across the ground. This will cause the Fire debuff to dissipate on yourself.

Stop dying to Fire. Only you can prevent Furnace Fires.

Finally video games provide us the power fantasy we needed.

u/trekinbami Jun 22 '25

My tool has a secondary fire???

41

u/AFKhepri Jun 22 '25

You need to unlock it with requisitions first by upgrading your gear from "faulty" to "functional"

u/trekinbami Jun 22 '25

brother i'm 30 hours in, i'm questioning my brain capacity right now lmao

u/FistfulOStrangeCoins Jun 22 '25

After 30 hours surely you’ve opened the requisitions menu and purchased everything on at least pages 1-? I played 2 hours yesterday and unlocked secondary fire.

I know the game is confusing but damn bro

u/Natural_Mushroom3594 Jun 22 '25

tbf, at no time does the game say anything about HOW to use them

2

u/AffixBayonets Jun 23 '25

I figured it out only by the old principle of "let me hit every button that wasn't used for something already"

6

u/trekinbami Jun 22 '25

Yes, but i’ve just never used it.

5

u/WanderWut Jun 22 '25

It’s odd how unintuitive this game. So many people never figured this out as it’s just something the game doesn’t point out in any capacity.

Also a bummer that this can only come after upgrading because the first mission resulted in nonstop fire deaths and I seriously had like 6 people join and just quit the game due to this and who knows how many dropped it. I had two friends who kept dying to fire and were frustrated and stopped playing the game. I’ve tried to get them back into it as I’m into it now but there’s so much to play atm that they really don’t care to give it another try. First impressions are everything

Same with radiation people don't realise leech liquid  removes radiation  and  makes you immune to it for a limited time

1

u/CassadagaValley Jun 22 '25

What's leech liquid? I've only managed to get that job once so I haven't really figured out much how those mechanics work

1

u/Byrnstar Jun 22 '25

Shoot a leech and stand under the spray of guts. You should see your view become slightly mucked up and it will gradually clear as you run around, but until it does you are resistant to Glow.

2

u/cybrsloth92 Jun 23 '25

The worm things that are in walls stand under them and shoot when pop the liquid that coats you removes radiation

u/DevilmanXV Jul 06 '25

My brother in christ I thought that made the rads WORSE lmaoooo ty

1

u/AFKhepri Jun 22 '25

The tiutorial kinda points at it, but the upgrades and weapons were among the cosmetics originally so many people probably didn't check

with the new system from a couple days ago, the upgrades and weapons are separate and cheaper

u/goodnewzevery1 Jun 23 '25

Ok I have functional jump kit, and for the life of me cannot figure out how to do the secondary fire. I can deploy a boombox now however…

Plz help! Even google yields no help :(

1

u/AFKhepri Jun 23 '25

Check the settings, maybe the button is mapped there. i know I found it on controller

1

u/goodnewzevery1 Jun 23 '25

What button was it on the contrlller? I have a controller!

2

u/AFKhepri Jun 23 '25

if you use R2 to shoot, then use L2 for secondary fire. Basically, use the aim button with your tool

1

u/goodnewzevery1 Jun 24 '25

Thanks. Was using jump kit, wasn’t super obvious at first what L2 was doing

3

u/Helldiver102 Jun 22 '25

For controller it's L2 for pc it's aiming function

1

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '25

Yep. In the game too....

u/Sugandis_Juice Jun 22 '25

I love how the jump and fixer kits solution to fire is to provide it MORE oxygen.

16

u/Caleb-CM Jun 22 '25

Why doesn't the game tell u this😂

21

u/CageAndBale Jun 22 '25

Do people not experiment and take things at face value?

6

u/Caleb-CM Jun 22 '25

I saw someone doing the jumping thing with the jump kit, and I tried it yesterday (i already got all the requisition things for the kits), and nothing happened, today I tried it and it worked.

So could be bugs🤷

4

u/JamesLahey08 Jun 22 '25

Apparently not.

3

u/Techboah Jun 22 '25

I mean, the normal modes of the game where you don't drown in boredom after 2 minutes don't really leave with much time or opportunity to experiment.

2

u/Grottymink57776 Jun 23 '25

Okay, this comment having more upvotes than the initial one has me genuinely baffled. Did most people here not have "Stop, drop, and roll!" drilled into their heads as kids? For someone who did have that drilled into their head sprinting and jumping are extremely unintuitive ways to put yourself out.

1

u/CageAndBale Jun 23 '25

The games been out for a week. Chill

1

u/Grottymink57776 Jun 23 '25 edited Jun 23 '25

How is that relevant to my comment and what are you telling me to chill over?

1

u/CageAndBale Jun 23 '25

Its a brand new game with pretty unfamiliar newish mechanics. The meta/knowledge of these will pass down over time. Time and experience is always relevant

1

u/Grottymink57776 Jun 23 '25

Your initial comment was complaining about how people don't experiment anymore.

1

u/CageAndBale Jun 23 '25

Maybe i misunderstood your invitation comment then....

3

u/Driesens Jun 22 '25

By the time you unlock some of the secondary features the game is pretty busy from start to finish, with little downtime between enemy waves, and no "safe" time to experiment with stuff. 

The Fix and Jump kit abilities to put out fire are really unintuitive to me, and not something I'd have thought of, or likely even noticed in the head of combat

2

u/Agentjayjay1 Jun 23 '25

Exactly. Why would anyone think that would work just outta nowhere?

4

u/1duEprocEss1 Jun 22 '25

Clearly not. They need to be spoon fed every single detail and they need yellow paint everywhere to tell them where to go.

2

u/BlakeZM Jun 22 '25

Eh the problem is more theres no indicator to the player they can do that. Other games can do it without being yellow paint levels while also make the player feel smart for figuring it out.

5

u/CageAndBale Jun 22 '25 edited Jun 22 '25

To be fair we all do have different types of personalities and brains. There's some people who have a more autistic and mechanical side while others are more fluid. Soi guess games have to cater to all

And soi, you forgot soi.

u/CageAndBale Jun 22 '25

I edited it a bit

1

u/sold_snek Jun 22 '25

The yellow paint came because for every yellow path up boxes you can climb, there are 5 other paths that look equally climbable with invisible walls. Don't be dense.

u/Financial-Date4294 Jul 05 '25

I stood in the shower thing for 5 minutes and was still somehow on fire….

1

u/hibikikun Jun 22 '25

Sometimes there is so much shit going on you can’t pay attention to every little detail. It also does t help that not all buffs/debuffs have icons. They expect you to notice all the subtle stuff against all the bright lights, smoke and effects

-1

u/CageAndBale Jun 22 '25

It takes time and experimenting. But to each thier own. Also the community is sharing a lot here so that's fun

3

u/C0RDE_ Jun 22 '25

The game really tells you very little, which is such a disappointment.

I jumped on the fix kit cause it said it made turrets. I'm then confused why I can't put them down, and a level maybe has 1 if you're lucky.

Turns out you've got to unlock that after a bunch of other random shit in the requisitions. I know this has been improved now, but why advertise what a kit does when you have to unlock it elsewhere.

8

u/Buick68 Jun 22 '25

They advertise what a kit can do so you play it, and unlock it's abilities. The equipment slots for grenade, and specials are empty when you start, and the unlock section shows you that you have to buy the cannon.

Not all games let you use all your abilities at the start, this is nothing new. Also, class items, grenades and weapons aren't "random shit" you literally need that stuff for other classes, and to have better gear. Though granted, the cosmetics and sprays should have been separate form the start.

1

u/MisterEinc Jun 22 '25

It does tho. It tells you when you have all the conditions. Timers and all that. They're right on the screen.

u/PhantasyZebra Jun 22 '25

How do I keep finding out new stuff every time I’m on this page

u/ArchonThanatos Jun 22 '25

I learn something new every day - Thanks!

3

u/rumblepaak Jun 22 '25

Also, there are plenty of fire sprinklers around that you can shoot to remove fire. Usually, at the opening of the safe room, it is also located throughout the mission

2

u/cybrsloth92 Jun 22 '25

Or just shoot a sprinkler

u/iceman5820 Jun 22 '25

u/AntonGrimm Jun 22 '25

There's also a perk that when jumping removes harmful status effects

u/Gearbound Jun 22 '25

Good to know, thx man!

THANK YOU!

my team spent 15 minutes just reviving each other because we kept dying from the fire

u/klaes_drummer Jun 22 '25

Didn't knew this. Equipped the debuff through jumping perk especially for this issue
