So scared! Click to listen — The Scout on encountering a Xenomorph

”

The Nostromo Napalmer is a community-created promotional primary weapon for the Pyro. It resembles the flamethrowers created by Dennis Monroe Parker, one of the characters in the movie Alien. The four lighters at the front of the weapon glow in the dark.

This weapon functions exactly the same as the Flame Thrower.

If the Isolated Merc set is completed, it will do bonus damage to those wearing the complete Isolationist Pack set with the trade-off of taking more melee damage from said enemies, about 4x for both.

The Nostromo Napalmer was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Alien: Isolation on Steam before October 7th, 2014.

The Nostromo Napalmer was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
