Flamer

The  or Flamethrower is a big gun in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. They were also going to appear in Van Buren and it can be found in the Van Buren tech demo.

Fallout and Fallout 2
Can be upgraded into an Improved Flamer in Fallout 2.

Fallout 3
It should be noted that big guns, such as the Minigun and the Flamer, are still pretty effective in Fallout 3 at closer ranges even if the player has no Big Guns skill thanks to the game's first-person shooter design.

The Flamer is by far the most effective Big Gun for close-quarters action, as it doesn't have as much warm-up as the Minigun or the risk-to-self of the Missile Launcher or Fat Man. The Flamer is fairly common, as is its ammo, which can be found on any Mr. Gutsy's and in many stores.

A fully-repaired Flamer can fire 2488 ounces worth of Flamer Fuel, or about 41 full tanks before it breaks.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
