How to unlock the Pyromaniac achievement in Mass Effect 3 - Definitive Guide

Equip Inferno Ammo in the multiplayer and play a match. When I did this, every kill (including kills from other players) counted towards the achievement and it unlocked about wave 6. Couldn't be easier.

If you picked a class that doesn't have this power, start a new game.
I recommend re-importing an ME2 save. ME3 NG+ won't allow you to change class, and a new character won't have enough points to be sufficiently powerful. importing from ME2 will allow a class change with points to spare.

Choose Engineer or Infiltrator. Choosing Warp Ammo as a bonus power won't hurt. Invest all your points in incinerate, focusing on decreasing cooldown time. Invest your remaining points in Tech Mastery to further decrease your cooldowns.

All you have to do is keep hitting the husks, narrative difficulty is fine. Once they stop spawning, proceed until Anderson helps the marines in cover. YOU have to back away from cover and never re enter it again, and just keep hitting the batarian husks. Helps if the power is bound to one of the bumpers.

That's it! I got it in 11 minutes. Worst part was sitting through the opening cutscene.

Alternatively, if you do not play as a Shepard with Inferno Ammo or Incinerate, you can still earn this achievement by mixing squad powers with your own to cause fire damage to the enemy.

This has been achieved by me using an Adept Shepard and using singularity and then throwing the warp power at them.

I got this achievement by playing as a Sentinel. At the beginning of the game, with the husks, about 10+ climb the wall. I just spammed Warp and reloaded the save. Less than 10 reloads for it to pop.

I already have this, but does warp really set enemies on fire?

Yes, it does. I am playing through as Sentinel and the counter goes up when I use Warp. I think it may only be on synthetic enemies though, not sure. This probably isn't the fastest way to get this achievement, but if you're playing through as Sentinel, it works.

Adept will also work since they have access to Warp.

This achievement gain be achieved at mostly any point in the game. All you have to do is equip flame rounds and shoot at each enemy. With a successful shot on an enemy you will see them set on fire.

If you are trying to get this on the single player, it should be noted that you won't get credit for the kills from your squadmates. So incendiary ammo with James won't help and incinerate with EDI won't work either. So, if you played Sentinel class, like I did with Shephard, your best alternative is to use your Warp power which will give you the same credit as the incinerate options.

There are a few powers that result in the enemy becoming on fire. These include Incendiary based powers. Incendiary ammo with the Soldier class is going to be the easiest.

Even after dying, the ones you have obtained count. They count across all playthroughs as well as multiplayer (which you can play by yourself). Must be done by your Shep! Squad uses do not count.

You will need one of two powers for this trophy, either Incinerate or Incinerate Ammo. For Incinerate, you will be to be an Infiltrator or an Engineer. For Incendiary Ammo, you will need to be a Soldier or a Vanguard. if you're an Adept, Warp may also work. Here’s the key part, YOU have to be the one with the ability and you have to use it. It will not count if you’re using the abilities of your squad mates.

As long as you have the power, simply use incinerate on 100 different enemies. Any enemies that you set on fire in multiplayer count towards your total.

We equip ourselves with incendiary cartridges - and go into battle! You'll most likely get it on your first playthrough, if you don't forget to activate the ammo.

Looks like the trophy is glitchy in the PS4 version of the game!
As long as you haven't tried to set it on fire, kills don't count. I hope they fix it with a patch

This includes kills using the following skills: " Incendiary Ammo ", " Ignition " for technical classes and " Deformation " for biotic classes.

I didn’t get credit for my deformations or any of my teammates’ skills
To avoid farming in NG+, recruit Ashley and talk to her after missions to unlock inferno grenades, equip them in the medical bay and throw them into crowds of enemies, quickly farm 100 ignitions

Incendiary rounds count here. The trophy is easy, I received it during the mission to rescue the primarch.

Add Ashley to the team and pick up extra in the Normandy's medical bay. skill for "Inferno" grenades. When you get the “Great Victory” trophy, feel free to throw these grenades. You will knock out the trophy in 10-15 minutes.

If someone, like me, does not get the trophy, then try reinstalling the game on the console. It helped me. After that, the trophy was easily won in the prologue for the technician. PS4.

As of March 12, 2022, I can confidently confirm that either the trophy is bugged in the re-release for PS4, or the conditions for obtaining it are limited solely by Shepard’s skills.
Someone wrote about “Deformation” that it also counts, but after playing for the Guardian class, which has this skill in its arsenal, this statement is doubtful, because I didn’t take anything into account when using it.
Using “Ignition” by squad members or “Incendiary Ammo” to spread to the entire team also does not produce results.

After starting a new game and choosing a class for Shepard, where there is any skill related to fire, progress immediately began to be recorded.

The easiest way to get the trophy:

Select a character - Guardian, level "Narrative"

In the prologue we go with Andersen until the moment where you meet the “Cannibals” for the first time and the prompt “hide in the shelter of the book” appears " and "click for for guidance and for shooting." We don’t do this, but move away from the cover and press to hit the adversaries with the “Deformation” skill (attached to the button by default ) Opponents will respawn endlessly.

15 minutes and the trophy is yours.

Updating the hint from Blade
As of today, using a companion with "incendiary ammo" does not count towards you completing the trophy.

The easiest way:
Start a new game.
When choosing the type of game mode, select "Story"
Character class: soldier

After you are given control, use We activate “Incendiary cartridges”, then follow Andersen until the first meeting with the Canibals.

The game will automatically put you behind cover and give you the prompt “Hold to look out from behind the cover. Click to open fire" - we ignore it .

We just move back from cover and start shooting enemies. If we don’t follow the game’s prompts, then the enemies will spawn endlessly. Make sure to select incendiary ammo. Next, kill 100 individuals and the trophy is yours.
