How to unlock the Pyrotechnics Expert achievement

    To obtain this achievement, you will need the tech skill Flamethrower.

    For an enemy to catch fire, it has to be unshielded. I personally got this in the open desert of Eos, on a kett patrol. The patrol had three enemies close by, so I activated the flamethrower and attacked the patrol with it. The achievement pops as soon as three enemies are on fire at the same time (they cannot die before the third is set on fire.)

    Hope this helps.

    EDIT: Tech profile not necessary.
    EDIT 2: This is best done on normal or higher to prevent enemies from dying before three are ablaze.

    Apostle92627You should add that it should be done on normal difficulty.

    Valiant PhoenixYou forgot to mention that it should be done on Normal or higher, as enemies tend to die immediately on lower difficulties.

    Gilbert PrimeRemnant Creepers work fine on Insanity as well. It's easy to get them to mob you then torch away. They might die too quickly on lower difficulties though.

    Pyrotechnics Expert Trophy/Achievement

    This can be unlocked on any difficulty and requires you to have 3 enemies on fire with a single Flamethrower attack. For this you will need to purchase the Flamethrower skill from the Tech Tree.

    The best place to do this is when you are on EOS and are linking the alien ruins together. You will come to a Kett base and see multiple ships flying in. A ship will drop a bunch of enemies on the the roof so quickly run to the rooftop and activate your flamethrower to get the achievement. If you fail simply reload checkpoint and try again.

    If your misplaced your skills, you can always respec in the Med Bay on the Tempest.

    For better understanding, here is a easy to follow video of myself attaining it.

    Hirsute DaveKett or Outlaw dropships on any world are good targets too - just close the distance as they arrive and they'll all be nice and grouped up and easy to ignite.

    Apostle92627Normal difficulty works better for this achievement than lower difficulties so they don't die faster.

    Just got this for attacking an architect leg joint when vulnerable with fully upgraded power. Not sure if a one-off, or because there may be multiple points of damage registered on the leg.

    filozofgizemWorked perfectly. Wasn't even fully upgraded. Great Solution!

    FelisinIf you're playing on easy, another good spot to do it is on Elaaden, during the Rising Tensions quest. After luring the fiend and convincing Gren to go through with the Rite of Union, he'll make you fight in the arena against 3 fiends. They're suitably beefy to withstand several seconds of flaming, and they pile up together, too.
