The Flamethrower Thread

I started this thread to talk about the new weapon in 1.4. I, personally, though it was MUCH too weak.. I managed to deal 10 damage each time I fired, and I have a good shot. I think it oculd use a damage boost, or else a DoT effect like acid gun has, where it burns him for X damage over 3 seconds.

It does have a DoT effect. The burn damage dealt after leaving the fire increases the longer the enemy stays within the fire.

I do agree, however, that it needs a boost.

Yeah, maybe increase the damage or make the flames on the ground stay longer.

Personally, I think the range should be longer.

Holy crap I have been away for WAY too long, I didn't know there was a flamer out...but lately I haven't the time. Anyway, back on topic, I don't like the flamer idea but I have never tested it, so I will have more input after I test it.

It needs a sound effect, like fireloop.wav...

AND shotgun needs more bullets and a larger cone.

I really don't like the flamer, and never use it anymore. It is a good idea, about how the longer you stay in it, the longer that the after effects are. I think that it would be cooler if it wasn't so spread out, and it had more range. It should also scorch the ground after, so it looks all black and burnt.

There should be ashes.

the problem is that u cant really miss with it.

I never miss with most weapons.

it should be more of a straight jet of flames, then a large random cone of fire. Of course, the straight jet splits up on the end, kind of like a SMALL cone, but still very precise.

And maybe you should be able to turn while using it.

Turn? If you can turn with Flamer, then Minigun & all the multishot guns too. . .

I think there should be pathways out of the lava around the edge of the lava map. It makes shotgun very viable in that map, because you can easily knock them into death. (I know this isn't a shotgun thread)

make it so the burning player/object will burn anything near it ^^

Add a custom fire filter to destroy his eyes.
