Flamer (Fallout: New Vegas)

The flamer is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is identical to the the Fallout 3 version, but can now be modded with the Flamer Expanded Tanks. Also, it is now an Energy Weapon instead of a Big Gun like in Fallout 3. With a high enough Energy Weapons skill, the flamer is an extremely effective weapon at killing all forms of unarmored and lightly armored enemies (giant ants, most humans, cazadores, mantis, and spore carriers). It produces a cone of fire from the nozzle, capable of hitting multiple enemies or allies simultaneously. Its damage can be somewhat misleading, as it is capable of hitting multiple body parts and inflicting widespread damage not reflected in its in-game stats.

Mods

 * Flamer Expanded Tanks

Locations

 * Vault 3, some fiends may carry them.
 * Vault 22 in the common areas, inside a room with generators.
 * Carried by Cook-Cook.
 * In the Ultra-Luxe's kitchen there are two men frying meat with flamers.
 * Silver Rush on the counter by Gloria Van Graff.
 * Gomorrah in a weapon's crate in a locked room in the casino's lower level.

Bugs

 * There are many bugs associated with this weapon. One such bug causes the handheld part of the weapon to not disappear when put away; waving around as if an extension of the hand.
 * Another glitch (possibly caused by modding the weapon) is when the tank part of the weapon appears to fall off and bounce, much like when you drop a weapon, in third-person. When the player returns to first-person the tank disappears from the ground.
 * Also when upgraded, the flamer tanks may permanently appear on your back, even if you drop the weapon. Exiting and restarting the game will fix this. It appears that this bug is triggered by traveling between areas while wielding the weapon. Also switching To another weapon with a pack will fix the bug. Getting your weapons taken at a casino or similar place will also fix this.
