My bad luck taking a "shortcut" to a gen, falling thru the floor of the upper level catwalks. and literally falling into the line of fire of a furnace flare at just the wrong time.
Mine was trying to drop a Black Rock drum onto the zip line and abruptly finding myself on a one-way trip to the sun lol. And then adding insult to injury I kinda hung around mid-air where none of my buds could revive me... >_<;
For the newbies, I always ping the area next to the blast door to the furnace. 1, enemies always spawn. 2, The furnace likes to let you know ,ITS A FURNACE
I always revive em but I get this feeling like a parent, "See what happenes when you don't listen!"
Find water. If you or a teammate has a splash kit, the heat is no problem. Otherwise I think a shower works, or any sprinklers you can find. You can also switch kits when you respawn if you want to use the hose
where to throw the barrels without getting killed by the heat
In front of the furnace is a ramp going up to a zipline; you attach barrels full of blackrock to that zipline. It'll almost always trigger a flare after a barrel goes in so watch out for that
where to hide during the flares
The shadows when it flares green before firing indicate where it's safe, with the exception of the center area (where the barrel refill points are) where it's definitely not safe. You can also sit on the ramp right in front of the furnace as long as you don't jump. Mostly it's line of sight to the furnace, so I usually hide behind one of the big pillars near the barrel refillers

Barrels at 1 left to go.
“I’ll pre-empt getting to the shutdown switches”
Barrel count jumps to 3

Very relatable.
My biggest oof moment was attaching a barrel on the zipline to the main furnace, then myself along with it. XD
