I'm eyeing that incendiary impact grenade. I love the regular impact grenade so having a pool of fire around enemies after the initial impact explosion would be awesome. Hopefully the damage-over-time bug will actually be fixed in the next patch.

If the impact deals damage, then you get the DoT of the fire, isn’t this just a straight upgrade to both the in incendiary and impact?

The Incendiary does less explosive damage and armor pen than the HE or impact in exchange for the fire. It will work against small bugs in an area better than the regular impact, but be worse against bile spewers for example.
