Perfect

The flamethrower is a middle-tier missile weapon that consumes oil and spews out an erratic cone of flame. Despite the flamethrower's deceptively low damage rating (1d21-2 (Avg: 1.5)), it can dish out some serious damage. The weapon fires 9 projectiles each time it is used, and those projectiles can penetrate multiple times due to the flamethrower's extremely high penetration rating.

The most challenging part of using a flamethrower will be keeping enough oil on hand. Serious pyromaniacs might consider making a trip to the Asphalt Mines to stock up.

Temperature Effect

Each of the flamethrower's nine projectiles also have a temperature-increasing effect that is strong enough to set most things on fire, vaporize liquids into gases, and cause additional burning damage.

• Each projectile increases the temperature of objects in the cells they pass through by 8d208-160 (Avg: 84) degrees.
• Each projectile increases the temperature of creatures or objects that are hit by an additional 4d204-80 (Avg: 42) degrees.

There is no limit to the total cumulative temperature increase that can be incurred by successive flamethrower attacks.

Obtaining

The flamethrower can be:

• Found as random loot in mid-tier or high-tier zones or occasionally equipped by creatures.
  • Notably, Gunner-Knight Templars have a 11.6% chance to be carrying a flamethrower.
  • Mechanimist rummagers have about a 3% chance of spawning with a flamethrower.
• Crafted with the Tinker II skill, after obtaining the required schematic.
• Disarmed from flamethrower turrets, though this type of turret tends to be somewhat rare.
• One is guaranteed to be carried by the rare and elusive Agate Severance Star.
