Borderlands – Does an Inflammable Psycho burn

borderlands-2

Krieg has some interesting new skills, including the Hellborn tree that revolves around setting yourself on fire.

What happens if I am wearing an inflammable shield like enter image description here

Since I would be immune to burn damage, would I still catch fire from self immolating skills? If so, would I burn but take no damage? Or does self conflagrating ignore damage reduction?

Best Answer

If your shield has an 'Inflammable' prefix, you won't catch fire and take damage from burning, even from the Hellborn skill tree.

It seems to be corroborated by these various posts from the Gearbox Software Borderlands 2 forums:

Don't use anything labeled 'Inflammable' you will not catch fire.

Inflammable cancels it all out, but a shield that reduces fire damage should still work.

I did have the 'Inflammable' but that renders most of that tree useless if I can't set myself on fire.

Q: Can you still light yourself on fire with an inflammable shield? A: Tested and no. Wouldn't be enough of a "risk/reward" system if you could.

...from what limited testing I've been able to do so far, inflammable shields prevent you from getting the bonuses associated with being on fire.

Inflammable does not work, since you can't get lit on fire.

No, it won't work, inflammable mod nullifies the self ignite thus making the hellborn skills bonuses not work.

From my playing with an inflammable shield I'd have to say it prevents you from ever self igniting.
