Flamethrower

The Flamethrower is a Ranged weapon that uses Gel for ammunition. It fires similarly to the Aqua Scepter but with fire. Each gel makes more lines of fire and it inflicts the On Fire! De-buff to enemies. The Flamethrower fires six times per use and can begin a second round of usage before the first has finished, resulting in massive output of damage. However, it is more likely that, despite 6 individual shots of flame, an enemy will only be hit 3 times per use; it is not suggested to use the Flamethrower constantly, because this will waste gel. However, when facing masses of Gastropods, it should be used continuously because they drop more Gel than usual and each line of flame will damage all the Gastropods. During a Blood Moon, a player may actually make a net gain of gel.

Tips

 * Because this weapon uses plenty of Gel, one could make a slime grinder using Slime Statues to easily farm Gel.
 * Flamethrowers are exceptional for boss fights; especially against The Destroyer, because the flamethrower can hit multiple segments at once.
 * The flamethrower has an extremely long reach making it very useful in PVP.
