- "Bullets deal fire damage. Each bullet has a chance to apply a burn effect on normal enemies dealing 10% of their maximum health in fire damage over 5 seconds (3 second cooldown).."
- — In-game description
Napalm Burst, also known as Blast Furnace and Fire Bomb, is an Alternate Ammo Type/Ammo Mod in Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. It can be applied to any weapon for 2000 essence at the Pack-A-Punch Machine.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III[]
Napalm Burst first appeared as Blast Furnace, a Pack-a-Punched upgrade module in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It gives the weapon a chance to shoot out a bullet that will make a group of zombies burst into flames and be killed. The zombie on which the effect initially triggered is killed instantly, while any nearby zombies within its effect radius will burn to death over 3-5 seconds.
Blast Furnace is a very powerful upgrade, able to kill zombies at any round while only needing one bullet to trigger. This upgrade can be used infinitely many times as long as ammo is present and it has a recharge of 15 seconds per use. It does not seem to have a cap on how many zombies it can affect, as an entire wave of zombies can be killed if they are bunched close enough together.
While Blast Furnace is arguably the best upgrade for taking out large groups of zombies, players should be wary that even after the effect is triggered zombies will take a few seconds to die, during which time they can still attack. This makes Blast Furnace an excellent perk for training zombies rather than getting a player out of a pinch.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4[]
Blast Furnace reappeared as Fire Bomb, an alternate Pack-a-Punch ammo-type found in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and it has a chance to be applied to an upgraded weapon when placed in the Pack-A-Punch Machine again. It costs 2500 points initially, but lowers to 1500 after upgrading your weapon 4 times.
Fire Bomb ammo has a chance to ignite many zombies at once. It causes the zombies' eyes and mouths to light up in a lava effect a few seconds before dying. Fire Bomb ammo is super effective against Lightning Catalyst zombies, causing them to explode in a high-velocity blast. It is also a necessity in order to complete certain Easter Eggs.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War[]
Fire Bomb then reappeared again as Napalm Burst, an Ammo Mod that can be equipped on any weapon at the Pack-A-Punch for 2000 essence or activated by Elemental Pop. Every bullet fired from a weapon with Napalm Burst equipped has a chance to set a zombie on fire, dealing 5% of their maximum health (if upgraded to Tier 1) and continuous fire damage for 5 seconds equaling 10% of their maximum health. The Ammo Mod will then enter a 3 second cooldown before usable again. This effect can activate on all type of zombies, including Elites by upgrading Napalm Burst to tier IV using Aetherium Crystals.
Any weapon equipped with Napalm Burst will receive a 1.5x damage multiplier against Plaguehounds and Manglers.
Tiers[]
Without any level requirement, players can upgrade Napalm Burst's effects with the use of Aetherium Crystals.
- Tier I - Initial burn effect deals 5% of enemy maximum health in fire damage.
- Tier II - Increase burn duration to 10 seconds.
- Tier III - Double burn effect damage.
- Tier IV- Special enemies can be burned
- Tier V- On A burned enemy kill, the enemy explodes spreading the effect to 5 nearby normal enemies.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III[]
Napalm Burst returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, functioning like its counterpart from Black Ops Cold War, but without the tier system.
