{{Main|Firebug}}
Players of firebug gain bonuses related to all aspects of fire, the [[flamethrower]], [[MAC-10]], [[Flare revolver]], [[Trenchgun]], and the [[Husk fireball launcher]]. Reload speed, ammo capacity (both loaded and total), range, price, and damage of the flamethrower and the Husk Fireball Launcher all receive improvements. The MAC-10, Flare Revolver(s), and Trenchgun also receives improvements to all above stats, with the exception of clip size. Players also get resistance to fire and incendiary grenades instead of frag grenades. Due to the weight of the flamethrower the choice of sidearms are fairly limited; common choices are the [[MAC-10]], [[handcannon]]s, a [[katana]], and [[pipe bomb]]s. Firebugs excel at dealing constant damage to groups of specimens but at higher difficulties can struggle with more powerful specimens. The reload time of the flamethrower can also cause problems if not timed well with the waves of incoming specimens.

The experience thresholds for firebug are for dealing fire based damage to specimens. The requirements are 25K for level 1, 100K for level 2, 500K for level 3, 1.5M for level 4, 3.5M for level 5, and 5.5M for level 6.

=== Equipment ===

The [[flamethrower]], [[MAC-10]], [[Husk fireball launcher]], [[Trenchgun]], and, if you buy the premium weapons, the [[flare revolver]] are the only pieces of equipment specific to [[Firebug]]s. They spawn with the flamethrower at level 5 and (in addition to [[combat armour|combat armor]]) level 6. At level 3 Firebugs also get incendiary [[grenade]]s.
