How to Use the Flamethrower

Set Foes Alight With Short Bursts

The Flamethrower applies potent damage over time with its flames, making it an excellent option for weakening Necromorphs and making them more susceptible to your other weapons. However, due to its rapid ammo consumption, it's best to fire the gun in short bursts rather than a continuous stream.

Cover Areas With Flame Walls

The Flamethrower also excels at crowd control and area denial thanks to its Flame Wall secondary fire, which costs 25 fuel to activate.

This firing mode causes a lingering wall of flames to spread on impact, making it a great tool for fending off Necromorphs along choke points and narrow hallways.
