Are Corrupted Machines’ Blaze canisters immune to explosions

horizon-zero-dawn

I've encountered a bunch of corrupted zones, so I tried to exploit classic elemental weaknesses to defeat them.

Corrupted Scrappers can explode if I shoot an electric arrow to their Power cell, but Blaze canisters seem to be immune to fire. I shot several fire arrows to a Corrupted Charger and nothing happened.

Is this true or was that a bug?

From personal experience, a corrupted machine's blaze canister should be just as susceptible to fire arrows as their regular counterpart.

This guide backs this up:

One thing the corrupted robots have in common is their weakness to fire. No matter the tactic, you should always use fire weapons and ammo against them. Other than that, they basically have the same weak points as their non-fouled counterparts. For example, the grazers have canisters on their backs. All you have to do kill a corrupted grazer is shoot a fire arrow into its canister. Similarly, killing a corrupted watcher is quickly done by sticking a fire arrow into its eye.
