After all my meticulous combo-boomtastic planning, my engineer's turret's flamethrower does't prime!
I know from ME 3 that it only primes while the turret's attack is active, but I also know it was unreliable even then. Now in MEA it's worse, as I haven't managed a single fire explosion from my turret.
Is mine defective, or do the rest of you suffer from this problem? O.o

I've heard that turret ammo effects only work when hosting.
I've not tested that personally though, can't bring myself to put points in turret.
You testing it on or off host?

Well, damn... I'm used to Vanguards being host-only and Engineers being a free-for-all, I'm not sure I can handle it being the other way around! O.O

Turret's flamethrower takes time to prime, like incendiary ammo, and like it did in ME3. It's reliable, but you have to "learn" the timing

Turret's flamethrower takes time to prime, like incendiary ammo, and like it did in ME3. It's reliable, but you have to "learn" the timing And on that note the visual effect kicks in earlier than the primer. It's like half a second too fast, more than enough to reliably fuck up your combo. |

It's a turret? I thought it was a frisbee.

I've gotten off-host fire explosions with the flamethrower turret, though I haven't used it since 1.06 or so.

After four additional days of attempts, I have managed to produce exactly 0 combinations using my turret, so I am concluding that it doesn't work.
