Flamer (Fallout 3)

The flamer is a weapon that projects an ignited stream of flammable liquid, and is classified as a big gun in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The flamer is by far the most effective big gun for close-quarters action. The flamer and its ammunition are fairly common, and can be found on any Mister Gutsy (and even Mister Handies) as well as in many stores.

Durability
The flamer can shoot a total of about 2500 units of flamer fuel, the equivalent of around 41 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Burnmaster - found in the Franklin Metro utility. Most powerful flamer variant.
 * Rapid-torch flamer - located in the Adams storage facility.
 * Slo-burn flamer - found on the upper level of the southeast portion of Launch Platform Base inside the Enclave mobile platform.
 * Sim version - A sim-only version of the flamer. It has 999,200 hit points, essentially preventing it from ever degrading.

Locations

 * If the Lone Wanderer betrayed Sydney during the quest Stealing Independence, she will send Emaline against them and will have a flamer equipped.
 * The raider, Torcher, uses a flamer as his signature weapon.
 * Two can be found in the Pitt steelyard in the supply plant, along with a small amount of Flamer fuel.
