Hold a choke point from virtually anything short of a Scrake and comfortably lead a kite, panicking and stumbling anything that gets in your team's way. The logical progression from the Caulk 'n Burn, the Flamethrower trades fuel efficiency and versatility for safety in doing what a Firebug does best: creating horrible walls of fire to kill several hundred ZEDs. Quite effective against Rioters thanks to their natural weakness to fire. Flame has post-shooting life time where it does damage without consuming ammo (duration - 0.35s), which effectively increases damage output per magazine if player uses tap-fire technique.Players take Splash Damage as well (35% of intial damage) but not from the Ground Fire.Upgrades do NOT improve Ground Fire damage but DO improve DOT and Splash damage.Upg2 (1500): Base damage x1.2, Base weight + 2. Upg1 (700): Base damage x1.15, Base weight + 1. Reload Time = 2.57s (for both tactical and dry reloads). Each time ZED takes fire damage game picks up such DOT and applies it on ZED (overwrites current DOT if current DOT is less effective in terms of total damage). Damage x Duration / Interval) will be applied at ZED. By any means only the most effective DOT in terms of total damage (i.e. Note that at time there can exist only one type of the Fire DOT. While Direct Hits ans Splash damage shares the same DOT attributes, Ground Fire has it's own:ĭamage Scale (of respective damage values) = x0.8.ĭamage Scale (of Ground Fire damage) = x0.5. Multiple Ground Fire sources do not overlap each other, player cannot create a new bonfire on top of the current, instead there has to be small distance between two - 0.25 meters.ĭamaging ZED by any type of attack causes it suffer from Damage Over Time which is another independent source of the damage.

Ground Fire appears at rate of 1 per every 0.1 second, lasts for total of 2.5 seconds and does damage within 0.25s intervals.

Amount of the Ground Fire damage decreases linearly from the distance of bonfire epicenter. Spraying fire at the ground creates a Ground Fire, a small bonfire that lasts for a short period of time and does damage to ZEDs independently from Direct Hits, Splash and Afterburn. Amount of the Splash Damage decreases linearly from the distance of player's initial target. If in doubt, simply burn everything down.' Technical Informationįlamethrower applies Direct Hit damage to the player's initial target and at the same time at the same rate all nearby targets take indirect damage refered as Splash Damage.
