How to unlock the Kill It With Fire achievement in Warframe - Definitive Guide

This can be completed on Deimos, in the Cambion Drift open world map. Bring a weapon that provides Heat damage. It doesn't have to be the only damage type, it just needs to be present. Abilities that deal Heat damage should also be enough, but I can't test it to confirm.

Infested pods spawn enemies for you to kill, and can be found most commonly near Reactive Crystal formations. The earliest spot to find them is directly outside the Necralisk entrance, on the East side hilltop. Just walking in the ruins near the crystal will be enough to start spawning enemies, but the pods disappear fast and only a handful spawn so be ready to start burning them before approaching.

I think the fastest way to get the achievement is actually to begin an Isolation Vault bounty from Mother, either inside the Necralisk or outside in the open world(look for the orange waypoint when moving around the map). Once you complete the main Isolation Vault objectives(but not the opening of the loot vault at the end), Infested pods usually begin to spawn endlessly.

Just keep killing until the achievement pops, and then finish up your looting like normal. I used this method to farm a ton of resources with a booster active a few weeks ago, so the achievement unlocked for me today as soon as it was added in the new update.

You can use anything that has heat as a primary status effect. I used my Glaive Prime with one heat mod installed and the rest just raw damage, heavy attack wind up ect no other status except slash which doesn't count as an "element" so they all counted as fire kills. Ignis wraith is ok but burns too slow sometimes, Glaive will one shot the pods. You can use any weapon you like just make sure it has a heat mod installed.

So you actually have to burn them with a flame weapon, or ability?

Yes, i'd get an ignis or ignis wraith and boost the damage and CD/CC/SC as much as possible. They need to be killed by flame damage/procs.

Just got this done fairly quick after I started using Melee instead. Used my Sigma & Octantis which had Viral + Heat and was getting consistent kill count sitting in a small hallway during the Iso Vault bounty. Heres my build. The riven just has initial combo and crit damage. Should be just fine even without primed mods as this is a really good weapon. https://i.imgur.com/WSB45Tg.png

Clarified that Heat damage is necessary, thanks

There has to be an easier way to do this. I've spent five hours playing that bounty mission over and over and I never see any pods. So far I have 1/100 towards this achievement. Can someone please share a more efficient method?

There are 12 or so reactive crystal platforms on Deimos although not all of them will be active on every zone visit. Using an AOE weapon with a good Heat status chance, I could clear up to 8 pods per platform. Took only two zone visits to get to 100. A Heat ability like Ember's Fireball also works. Like all "kill with X-type damage" challenges, the pod doesn't have to die from Heat damage. It just has to be affected by Heat when it takes whatever damage that actually kills it.

In addition to Semoclive's guide, here is a solution for those struggling to burn the pods.

First, you need to have heat as the only elemental damage otherwise it will be combined (heat + cold = blast, heat + toxin = gas ...)

Even after finishing the main story (and getting my mastery lvl to 12), I didn't suceeed to destroy an egg with normal weapon, so I recommend to use the Necramech Voidrig with the mod Combustion Rounds or/and Magma Chamber on both weapons.

As Nechramechs uses Archguns, you can drop this mod in Caelus (Uranus - Interception) missions or by killing enemies in Archwing mission (here is a link for all drop rates : https://n8k6e2y6.ssl.hwcdn.net/repos/hnfvc0o3jnfvc873njb03en...).

Once you have your Voidrig set, launch a low level bounty in Cambion Drift (Deimos) : I find the infinite excavation is most efficient as many pods will spawn around the objective and you can burn a hundred of them in a single run.

When the pods are spawning, make sure you are in your Nechramech, if you're still struggling to destroy them, use the guard mode (4th ability) which will one shot all of them in a single hit.

Cocoons can be farmed in Deimos excavation missions, and they also appear on altars that need to be shot at by the operator
