Firbugs are an offensive class. Dealing in ambush tactics to kill enemy players, the Firebug can be be of the most versatile classes if mastered. His weapon, the Flamethrower, has many effects and can deal Afterburn, further damaging enemies after disengaging the battle if they are not healed by a Healer. The Flamethrower also allows the player to reveal and alert others to the presence of an enemy Infiltrator by setting him afire while he is cloaked, revealing his/her location. The primary weapon is complimented by the Airblast, which allows players to push enemies around with a blast of air or repel fire from the Rocketman or Detonator if timed correctly. This allows Firebugs to defend as well as attack.
