Think about burning damage and immediate threats#
- Burning targets versus immediate threatsDecision
- Players discussing the rifle just after its 2025 release describe igniting a target, then allowing the burn to contribute while moving attention elsewhere. That is a qualitative way to use an incendiary weapon, not a current damage breakpoint. A close threat that needs to die immediately may still need direct follow-up. The same discussion contains conflicting opinions about strength, so it does not justify calling the Coyote the best assault rifle today. Check the equipment screen for current unlock details and stats before spending resources.
