Description:
The Boltec Pyromaniac is what happens when you let a flamethrower operator write his own psychological evaluation. Somewhere between a demolitions expert and someone with mental problems, this walking H-R violation has never met a fire he didn’t want to marry. He speaks in metaphors about cleansing, the beauty of destruction and refers to his flamethrower as 'The Gospel' that will bring the Deluge of Fire!

Rarely deployed unless the situation is already FUBAR, Pyromaniacs are considered "area denial units"... in theory. Boltec keeps them on the payroll because fire scares the enemy, and that just does wonders for morale.

They follow Boltec protocols, but what they really serves is the voice of the flame. It tells them where to go. What to burn. Who’s unclean. Upper management refers to them as "Walking NDAs" — because whatever they torch, no one can file a report about it afterward.

Preferred Weapons:
- Flamethrowers
- Molotovs
- Thermite grenades
- Anything that burns sht

Tips:
- Deploy only in open or semi-open environments. Tight spaces increase risk of collateral incineration.
- Keep friendly units behind him at all times. He will not check before firing.
- Don’t talk about rain. He hates rain.
- NEVER leave him unsupervised near fuel storage. Not again.
- Give him a lighter. It makes him happy.

Tactical Tips:
- Aim for the fuel tank. Precision shot to the lower back.
- Pyromaniacs require proximity. Keep engagement beyond flamer effective radius.
- Humans witnessing a Pyromaniac at work experience elevated fear cycles and mild pyrophobia. Use this to your advantage.
- Ignores pain. Not because of discipline, but because the concept is irrelevant to him. Terminate quickly.
