Incinerator

Incinerator

A heavy weapon that can spray a stream of flame into an area. It can shoot in an arc over allies without harming them. The flame burns off rapidly, so it will only ignite the most flammable targets.

While the main flamethrower can be used without limit, the weapon also comes equipped with a bioferrite-powered mega-burner unit which generates a massive blast of flame from a pressurized bioferrite charge. The mega-burner unit must be refueled after each use.

Summary

Incinerator burner gizmo icon

Analysis

Incinerators deal heat damage and set flammable objects ablaze in an approximately 8 tile wide, 1 tile long arc. Also has a single shot incendiary burner ability which ignites an 11 by 5 tile wide cone needs to be reloaded with bioferrite between uses. Compared to the incendiary launcher, incinerators have a faster fire rate and larger AOE at the cost of shorter range and a 6 tile minimum firing distance.

Shooting skill does not affect incinerator effectiveness. Consider giving them to colonists with bad shooting skill and/or the trigger happy trait. Oddly, colonists wearing shields can still fire incinerators, though this interaction will likely be patched out in the future.

Incinerators are useful to the point of being almost mandatory against fleshbeast events, though they can also be useful against infestations and ordinary human raids. Also, it's highly recommended to toggle autofire off on incinerators in order to avoid friendly fire.
