Flamethrower
This article is timeless and should be accurate for any version of the game.
Flamethrowers are a type of handheld weapon that shoots fire instead of bullets. Unlike other infantry weapons, it does not have an internal ammo count.
Description
Flamethrowers are handheld heavy weapons which uses Flamethrower Ammo backpacks. Wielding a flamethrower slows you down, similar to a Machine Gun. Switch to your secondary weapon to move faster. Once your ammo backpack is empty it disappears from your soldier's back. Unlike other firearms the flamethrowers always aim where your cursor is, aiming at the ground will make you shoot at the ground.
They do not directly damage structures but if enough flame is applied a fire will start inside which slowly damages the structure.
Unlike other heavy infantry weapons they can be used from inside a moving Landing APC (ramp up).
When using one, your own flame cannot directly hurt you or heat you up, even if you shoot right at your feet or walk on the flame.
Despite the flamethrowers having faction-specific versions, they can use both Flamethrower Ammo types.
