Flamethrower



The Flamethrower is a Hardmode Ranged weapon that uses Gel for ammunition. The Flamethrower's projectiles pierce through unlimited enemies and inflict the On Fire! debuff.

For a standard Flamethrower, every click of the attack button consumes one Gel and generates five "lines" of fire in quick succession, that can be spread over an area by moving the mouse while firing. With some Modifiers that increase firing speed (eg. Unreal and Rapid), each attack consumes two gel and fires six lines.

Tips

 * Flamethrowers are exceptional for boss fights, especially against The Destroyer, because the Flamethrower can hit multiple segments at once.
 * Although five to six shots can be fired per press, firing six shots at the same enemies are likely to only cause three hits on each enemy, which should be kept in mind so as not to waste gel.
 * A flamethrower with the 'slow' modifier may actually be better, as it does not consume as much gel but has around the same DPS.
 * One could make a gel farm using Slime Statues to easily stockpile ammunition. Gastropods are another abundant source.
