Is the Flamethrower Worth It?

Still Not Worth It

Tier Rating	C Tier

Even after buffing up the damage on the flamethrower, it is still not the best support stratagem out there. While its damage is certainly buffed, it still needs to be at a reasonable distance to be of any real use. In the best case scenario, finding high ground and raining fire on enemies is the optimal use for this weapon.

How to Unlock Flamethrower
