Flare Gun (Lonesome Road)

The flare gun is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Characteristics
A short-barreled, breech-loading signal pistol which can also be used as a weapon. It launches its projectile in an arc, and can be used for long-range indirect fire when aimed outside of V.A.T.S. After damage caused by the initial hit, affected targets will take additional fire damage for a short time.

The flare gun also has the ability to frighten abomination-type creatures. Whilst on fire they will attempt to flee from the player, but will resume their normal behavior once extinguished.

Usage
The flare gun is an ineffective weapon, even with the Pyromaniac perk, due to the very low DAM and DPS. Therefore, it is obviously to used as a deterrent to Abominations, particularly Deathclaws and the swarms of Tunnelers found throughout the Divide. However, for higher-level players or those with the Animal Friend perk, the flare gun will not be that useful.

Locations

 * Can be found on various marked men around the Divide.
 * In emergency kits scattered about the Divide.

Behind the scenes

 * The object effect is named "Burninate All the Peoples", a reference to Strong Bad's Trogdor song in Homestar Runner.
