You can explore the effects of Incendiary damage in Borderlands 4 and which hunters to use to maximize the potential of this element.

The Incendiary elemental property grants the effect of fire damage to enemies when targeted. You can use this via weapons or various build perks with your Vault Hunters. To obtain these, you can simply loot chests or purchase them directly from vending machines. The effect will cause damage over time when you successfully ignite enemies.
In this article, we will explore Incendiary Damage and the different Vault Hunters who can utilize this effect.
Incendiary Damage Overview in Borderlands 4

While super effective at draining the HP of enemies, Incendiary damage is primarily better to use against flesh enemies. Shielded and armored enemies take less or no damage, making this elemental effect an occasional offensive move. Upon using incendiary bullets, enemies will burst into flames on impact. The ‘Burn’ status effect will apply to targets, with their health depleting over time.
If an enemy dies due to this status effect, you will notice their corpse burn away. Enemies wearing armor or carrying weapons will, however, leave these items behind. Some weapons offer splash damage with incendiary bullets, causing the effect to affect nearby enemies as well. You can also ignite red barrels with flammable properties, which will explode and deal a large burst of flame to anyone nearby.
Here is a table describing which enemies the Incendiary damage will be most effective against:
Opponent Type | Element Effect |
---|---|
Flesh Enemies | Very Strong |
Armor Enemies | Very Weak |
Shield Enemies | Very Weak |
