Some of Prometheus Company's elite firebats were stationed aboard the Moros. They died attempting to stop Kerrigan from rescuing Commander Jim Raynor.[2] Later, in the Imperial sector of Augustgrad, Prometheus firebats unsuccessfully attempted to defend Emperor Arcturus Mengsk's palace against the zerg and Raynor's Raiders.[3]

During the Defenders of Man Insurgency, the Defenders of Man captured and imprisoned several Prometheus Company firebats, along with Field Response Theta medics, aboard a cargo ship in the ruins of Tarsonis City. The vessel later came under attack by feral zerg.

The firebat's attack area increases by +40%.

The upgraded gauntlet channels the flamer's fuel through multiple ports rather than the single port of the previous generation, resulting in a much wider flame without any loss of intensity, allowing your firebats to hold enemies at bay with a literal wall of fire.

Incinerator Gauntlets were previously known as Bearclaw Nozzles.
