Overview[]
Assault Engineers are different from other flame infantry as they use the higher ranged M-202 Flash napalm rocket launcher. The Flash can fire four times before reloading and carry eight rockets. Featuring a hybrid of features found in traditional napalm and rocket launchers, the M-202 Flash makes Assault Engineers extremely effective at shocking and burning hostile infantry at range and lightly damaging and harming enemy vehicles.
