Lore
The Super Earth High Command first discovered the new Automaton forces when they landed on several planets in what appeared to be a coordinated large-scale attack. This unit was dubbed the Incineration Corps. The Incineration Corps landed on several colonies and burned them to the ground. While the Helldivers intervened in this offensive, numerous colonies and homesteads were lost as the Incineration Corps ravaged multiple sectors, gaining significant swaths of territory and enabling further offensives.
The Incineration Corps remains one of the Automatons' primary attacking forces.
Spawning
Incineration Corps Automatons will only spawn on planets they are invading.
Troopers, starting on
Challenging, are armed with an energy cannon, firing a projectile of the Bunker Turret, which can caus Helldivers to trip. In addition, other light Automatons can now throw incendiary grenades. Notably, Rocket Raiders and Assault Raiders are not found on Incineration Corps invaded planets.
Pyro Troopers are light Automatons equipped with flamethrowers, and can be found on all difficulties. Berserkers are absent from Incineration Corps missions entirely, their role functionally fulfilled by Pyro Troopers.
Conflagration Devastators and Incendiary MG Devastators replace Heavy Devastators, and can be found on
Trivial and
Medium respectively. The Conflagration Devastator is armed with an incendiary shotgun, and the Incendiary MG Devastator an incendiary machine gun. Both are also equipped with a large ballistic shield.
Hulk Firebombers can be first found on
Challenging, and will replace Hulk Bruisers, and occasionally Hulk Scorchers. They are armed with an incendiary grenade launcher and a flamethrower.
Tactical Information
- The Shield Generator Pack can stop incendiary rounds, protecting Helldivers from being burnt.
- Inflammable and Acclimated armor passives will provide a resistance to fire damage.
- Helldivers should note that this will not reduce the ballistic damage of the incendiary projectile itself.
Trivia
- The Rocket Devastator and the Hulk Scorchers have the Incineration Corps's color scheme, but do not appear to have any changes to their behavior or weapons.
