| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Flamethrower''' is the default [[Weapons#pyroprimary|primary weapon]] of the [[Pyro]]. It is a long metal pole, connected by a hose to a propane tank. The tank is attached to the pole via fastening bands. A continually lit pilot light can be seen at the nozzle. The trigger is made out of a team-colored gas pump handle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Upon pressing primary fire, the weapon will expel a stream of large flame particles at roughly 23 particles of flame each second, in what is roughly a narrow cone, at a cost of 12.5 ammunition per second. The range, speed, and travel patterns of the particles are different than that the graphics suggest. Flame particles are not obstructed by enemies or [[buildings]] owned by the opposing team, making it ideal for attacking multiple enemies. The range of the fire is very limited, but is capable of dealing heavy damage at close quarters. At its maximum range, the Flamethrower is not accurate enough to put a constant stream on a single target. Note that the weapon cannot be used underwater; it will produce harmless bubbles. The weapon is also incapable of firing (excluding compression blast) if the player is in contact with a wall (or various other objects such as props) and facing it directly. One major exception to this is [[Spawn|spawn room doors]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Apart from the direct damage, the Flamethrower also sets targets on [[fire]], causing the target to burn and take additional damage for a short time. Pyros are immune to this themselves due to their fireproof suits, but will still take damage directly from the Flamethrower itself. A [[Spy]] [[disguise]]d as a Pyro will still be set on fire. The afterburn can be extinguished by the [[Medi Gun]] of a [[Medic]], a [[Dispenser]]'s healing stream, contact with [[water]], friendly [[Jarate]], friendly [[Mad Milk]], a friendly [[compression blast]], the secondary attack of a friendly [[Manmelter]], the [[Spy-cicle]]'s special ability, the [[Dead Ringer]]'s special ability, or any type of [[Health#Health kits|Health pack]]. Using the primary fire of the Flamethrower on a friendly [[Huntsman]]-wielding [[Sniper]] will light his arrow on fire, and an enemy hit by this arrow afterwards will be ignited; the Pyro who lit the arrow, will not receive assist credit, however.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Secondary fire causes the weapon to deliver a compression blast which can deflect enemy [[projectiles]], push opposing players away, and extinguish teammates who are on fire. Each compression blast costs 20 ammunition, meaning it is possible to use 10 Compression blasts before needing to retrieve more ammo.

| |
| − | * The Flame Thrower, along with the [[Rainblower]] and [[Stock weapons|Stock]] [[Rocket Launcher]] were obtainable in ''Saints Row IV'' by pre-ordering the game on [[Steam]].
