Introduction[]
The Flamethrower or FT is an area denial weapon employed by the Marines. It holds 12.5 seconds of accelerant at any one time and a Marine can carry a maximum of 4 extra accelerant tanks, making for a total burn time of 62.5 seconds, or just over one minute. The Flamethrower has a weight of 0.14, which is more than the Assault Rifle and same as the Shotgun. The Flamethrower slows down movement speed for Marines just slightly more than the Assault Rifle.
The Flamethrower can set Alien structures and units on fire, slightly reducing the energy regeneration of Lifeforms and disabling the passive abilities of structures:
Burning Properties[]
- sets Players on Fire for maximum 2.1 seconds
- sets Structures on Fire for 2.1 seconds
- a single shot from the Flame Thrower increases the burning time by 2.1 seconds
- maximum burning time for structures is set to 6 seconds
Note that the burn duration of the flamethrower is only 2.1 seconds for Players., while the reload is 5.2 seconds. This means that whips initially disabled by being set on fire will be able to attack a flamethrower user before they finish reloading.
