Players on fire, not juice: power-up, exploit? Unsure...

Hello everyone,

Been racking my brains and searching for info about this one but i've come up empty.
I "think" i understand how juice works, yet for a while now in every match of crossfire, wen confronting an opposing player, they catch fire and kill me.
Yes, i thought it was juice -but they dont even animate as if theyve activated juice. Weirder is the fact that when its over (lol usually observed via the kill cam) it disappeard amidts black ashes. Ive even had a player activate it then go in juice mode (since black ash came off them while still juiced).

What the heck is this? Thought it was related to lv but a lv 15 bleeding pulled it off me -its not as powerful as juice (can tell by the difference between how much dmg a juiced or this effect player takes from my attacks), yet invariably it will turn the tables.

Can anyone explain please? How can it be juice when it behaves so bleeding differently/can be stacked with it?!?

I have two questions,

Are you playing tank or assault?

What level are you?

Ur question doesn't make a lot of sense. There is no "Flame On!" Attack in mnc. Did u set them on fire with a jet gun or assault bomb then they killed u, or did they spontaneously combust, then juice to survive and kill you?

YES!! I FINALLY UNDERSTAND!! Turns out its simply me being a noob: ypur qords made me realise that, as a tank, im simply setting em on fire. Lol i know it sounds stupid -because it is- but honestly convinced myself twas a powerup!! I dont mind being owned, just wanted to make sure it was being doe fairly.
Thanks again, put my mind to rest!!

As a tank, get the jetgun as close to their face as possible to do real damage. Hitting them with the end of the beam doesn't do as much as you would like.

Thus, make sure to hit them with a charge, and use deathblossom generously. To get them close enough to charge, approach from behind, approach distracted enemies, and hug against walls and corners.

Alternatively, the railgun does the same damage at any range combine this with the product nade.
