In Bulletstorm, whats the best weapon to get rid of burnouts, FAST!
I jumped like a maniac and used the flail and machine gun. It is important to aim for the glowing sores on their bodies to hurt them if you do not only want to slow them down with the flail gun.
I am not sure, but are there no explosives in that area which you could trigger?
The Boneduster is particularly useful because its knockback effect works despite the Burnouts' resistance to bullets.
Burnout encounters usually occur near environmental hazards, such as wall spikes or cacti. Manoeuvre Burnouts in front of these then blast them or kick them for a one-shot kill.
