How to unlock the Flame On! achievement in Far Cry 4 - Definitive Guide
Filip36365 confirmed that molotovs Also work for this achievement.
Thanks to SneakyStabbalot for confirming that flame arrows also work.
Pick the Flamethrower weapon and you while using this use the walls to your advantage. If you bum rush an ememy you won't last long. I usually stayed in a corner around cover and when they got close enough blasted them with my weapon.
If you've played most of the game, been setting peeps on fire you should nab this in around 10-15 minutes.
When you get to round 2 molotovs will be dropped from the crowd.
Use the confusion to throw them in a group. You can get up to 3 kills with one throw.
I used the normal Battle arena and kills count there as well!
There are only a few weapons in the game that cause fire damage. These are: Flamethrower, Molotov and Fire Arrows. All of them can be bought from the Trading Posts fairly cheaply. The Flamethrower is given to you as part of the story and it is the best weapon to use to get this trophy as it has a lot of ammo in it. Soon as you have it, simply keep repeating outposts over and over. Make sure you choose and easy one though, that doesn't have many heavy enemies in it. If you hover over an Outpost, it will say how difficult it is. To replay Outposts, simply go to the "Outpost Master" mission found within the Outpost. This will allow you to replay the outpost again and again. The Flamethower doesn't have much range so you need to get pretty close to an enemy so they get effected by the flames. The fire arrows however are a good choice if you want to get the kills from a distance, but you cannot carry many of them unless you craft the arrow bag fully. Even then, you can only carry up to 10 fire arrows. The trophy will unlock once you kill 50 enemies with fire, there is unfortunately no way to check how many you have killed with fire.
A flamethrower from a magazine is great, but it doesn’t open right away in a weapon box.
The Molotov cocktail is a convenient means of killing with fire, well suited for frying a group of enemies or the entire crew of an arriving reinforcement vehicle. Having upgraded the bag with a throwing weapon to the second level during “manufacturing”, you can carry as many as 7 bottles on you at a time
Fire arrows are an ideal tool for setting an enemy on fire from a great distance. I highly recommend immediately purchasing a Compound Bow Hunting Optical Sight.
Setting fire to an enemy throwing Molotov Cocktails with a shot - you should not seriously rely on this method, because... you simply won’t encounter such enemies very often, and this encounter does not always guarantee the enemy’s fire.
I received this trophy by the time I completed the game at 33%
