Flame based weapon and their performance

Post » Tue May 10, 2011 1:55 pm

So I never hear anyone complaining or not complaining about weapons such as the Incenerator, Heavy Incerator or the Flamer...how do they do against DT and late game foes? Early game its a power house but I know that can change. :flamethrower:

They are great for cooking wasteland creatures all but the deathclaw. Good for killing pretty much anyone. I have not tried killing anyone in PA with them.

I did the following:
:flamethrower: a bighorner
:flamethrower: a giant mantis
:flamethrower: a raider
:flamethrower: a drunkard
:flamethrower: a Veronica
:flamethrower: a Boone
:flamethrower: an escaped convict
:flamethrower: many more things that I don't have time to name
but, I don't know if the Incinerator is that good at late game, but the Heavy Incinerator is a very elite gun, Flamer on the other hand isssssssss........aaaaaaaaa........ummmmmmm.....an average weapon for...................................losers! Heavy Incinerator is so much better than Flamer!

The Heavy Incinerator was one of my favorite weapons in FO3. Since getting the Grenade machine gun, I haven't felt the need for it in FONV.

Heavy Incinerator is more than enough to last you the whole game, barring the Legendary DeathClaw since you can't rain fire on him beyond his hostile range.

Flamer is rather weak against opponent with DT > 18, otherwise it have the highest non-crit DPS with Pyromaniac

Not sure I know what you mean about the legendary deathclaw....the area he is in is enclosed so you could flame his legs and hope to cripple him but ya its a gamble.

While in the Quarry you can lob fire balls on the Deathclaws and they just run around mad.

Never used it myself, but Arcade did use the Heavy Incinerator for a while (ran out of ammo for Gauss gun) and he was making some really long range shots with it - looked like a small meteor shower, fireballs arcing to hit a distant Radscorp.

Problem is it kills slowly, sometimes too slowly

From what I gather the burning effect isn't effected by DT, however the flames doing do too much vs. armor.
