Furthermore, due to the Vigor's longer range and wider area of effect, it can be used to keep Firemen out of their effective range, as well as distract their allies from firing as you retreat or move to a more secure location. Murder of Crows is also effective against Firemen for reasons similar to Bucking Bronco.Upgrading Bucking Bronco increases the duration of levitation, which allows the player additional time to use hit-and-run tactics. Using the ability before the Fireman attempts to use their close-ranged attacks or manages to successfully carry out their suicide bomb attack can be a lifesaver. It is especially useful in cases where the player is forced to encounter Firemen at close range, buying time to get to a safer distance and the opportunity to put a few shots in as well. Bucking Bronco is highly effective against Firemen, as it prevents them from attacking or moving at all.If the Fireman starts his run close to the player, the player must have five seconds' worth of sprinting distance to outrun the Fireman, otherwise, the bomb will detonate in the player's face. The second option is to retreat and wait out the Fireman's last five seconds. This option requires sufficient ammunition/ Salts to accomplish. Fully depleting the Fireman's health will prematurely end his bomb attack, which can damage any unfortunate enemies caught in the blast radius. One option is to keep firing although the Fireman is close to death, he is not dead yet. When the timer appears, the player has two options. When the Fireman initiates his suicide bomb, a timer will appear above him. Failing that, the player may also attempt to lure the Fireman away from the support of his allies.

Sections of their metal suit, such as the pieces on their limbs and back, will glow red with heat when priming an attack, making it even easier for the player to evade harm. Ideally, Firemen should only be fought at a distance, as the slow travel time of their fire bombs makes them highly inaccurate at longer distances. Firemen are far more threatening when encountered with other groups of enemies, as their area-of-effect damage attacks and aggressive combat style can force players to abandon cover. Though powerful in close-ranged combat, a lone Fireman can be easily defeated without taking any damage at all. It is from this Fireman that Booker acquires the Vigor Devil's Kiss. The first Fireman is encountered in Shady Lane, after Booker fights his way through several police officers. The exact appearance of Firemen underneath their suit is unknown, though the nature of their punishment implies that the suit helps keep them alive. Metallic masks with glowing slits conceal their faces. The boilers use a bottle of Devil's Kiss as a source of thermal energy, providing the Firemen with their ability to manipulate fire. The padded suits they wear are linked to an iron exoskeleton that serves to conduct heat from the boilers strapped to their backs. They will use their final moments to charge at their target, attempting to catch them in an ensuing explosion.įiremen are denizens of Columbia sentenced to constantly be set aflame as penance for the sins they have committed in life. When critically wounded, Firemen will initiate a self-destruct mode, emitting a high-pitched whining noise as the flames engulfing their body intensify. In close quarters combat, they can project a powerful explosion of flame to burn nearby foes.
