About Kill It With Fire
Kill It With Fire puts you in the role of a licensed exterminator tasked with eradicating spiders across suburban neighborhoods. The description says you must “track spiders across suburbia, and burn everything in your path!” and gives you many ways to do it, from fire to bullets and explosives.
The game is a single‑player experience that includes a “realistic” fire simulation, dozens of optional objectives, hidden upgrades, full controller support, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Trading Cards for Windows players.
01 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Arsenal
You can “assemble your arsenal of increasingly excessive weapons,” ranging from conventional firearms to large‑scale explosives. Each weapon can start fires, launch projectiles, or cause explosions that affect both spiders and the environment.
New weapons become available as you progress, expanding the ways you can combine fire, projectiles, and melee tools to clear hiding spots.
- Test how each weapon spreads fire before tackling a crowded area.
- Switch weapons when a spider proves resistant to a particular attack type.
02 / THE GUIDE
Spider Species
The description lists “Eight different spider species” that you must track and eliminate. Each species appears in distinct suburban locations, providing a variety of visual designs and movement patterns.
Identifying the species helps you decide which weapon or approach will be most efficient, as the game encourages you to match tools to the target.
- Observe the spider’s silhouette to identify its species quickly.
- Keep a mental note of which weapons worked best for each species.
03 / THE GUIDE
Fire Simulation
Kill It With Fire features a “realistic” fire simulation system that reacts to surfaces, spreads dynamically, and can ignite objects in the environment. Fire can be started with weapons, explosives, or environmental triggers.
Because fire propagates according to the simulation, you can use it to clear multiple hiding spots at once, but you must also watch for unintended damage that may affect optional objectives.
- Start fires near clusters of potential spider locations for efficient clearing.
- Monitor fire spread to avoid destroying objects tied to optional goals.
04 / THE GUIDE
Arachnid Tracking Technology
The game provides “state‑of‑the‑art arachnid tracking technology” that highlights probable spider locations among hundreds of possible hiding spots. The tracker updates as spiders move, guiding your search.
Using the tracker effectively reduces time spent searching and increases the chance of confronting a spider before it escapes to another area.
- Check the tracker frequently to stay aware of movement cues.
- Combine tracker hints with visual clues in the environment for faster discovery.
05 / THE GUIDE
Optional Objectives
Beyond the primary extermination tasks, the game offers “Dozens of optional objectives” such as destroying specific objects or achieving high‑score combos. These objectives encourage exploration and creative destruction.
Completing optional goals can unlock hidden upgrades, adding new weapons or equipment that appear later in the progression.
- Review the objective list before each run to plan a route that hits multiple goals.
- Target objectives that grant upgrades early to broaden your arsenal sooner.
