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. Note also that a fleeing creature may run right at and past the player if there is no other line of escape, but will not attack while on fire.

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.
