They are significantly less effective than more modern and effective [[Security items]], but these weapons can prove to be very useful in a pinch and can surprise even the most [[Head of Security|hardy]] [[Captain|of]] [[Clown|people]]. | ||

The flamethrower creates a stream of flame that superheats the air and causes those caught in the flame to catch on fire. It has a range of about three tiles and is most effective against [[xenos|alien]] weeds and [[Space_Vines|space vines]]; while very effective against the aforementioned two infestations, the flamer is at best a suppression weapon against human targets and at worst a suicide attack to yourself. You are better off using a Stun Prod or a Toolbox to do direct damage, however the flamethrower is great for area denial, AoE attacks, and damage done over time (both from catching on fire and the hot state that it leaves the surrounding air in). When using a flamethrower either wear a [[Firesuit]] to protect you against the high heat or move back as soon as you fire the weapon. | |||
