Is this necessary?

If the item is unreleased, why does it require a page? Vide0n 21:54, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

Name

It's called the scorch shot and I suggest we change the name of the page. Footlesssushi 13:07, 26 June 2012 (PDT)

When this subject was previously brought up, most users preferred that the "The" should be dropped out of the weapon's names. That's how it has been since.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 16:28, 26 June 2012 (PDT)

Weapon Description

I'm thinking something like "appears to be an improvised flare gun crudely made from scrap metal parts." Does that seem accurate? Is a more detailed description appropriate? The Grand Karkasmolen 06:42, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Scorch Shot Reserve?

Hey, I got the weapon and want to do the demo video, I'll follow what's expected and the guidelines and i'll show off what It does.

Mechanic of the flare

I'm not sure the best way to word this, so I'm not going to edit the page directly, but the flare works quite uniquely on this gun. The flare it's self, while lighting the target on hit for 15 damage, and knocking them back, the flare isn't destroyed, it bounces off of the player, falls to the ground, and explodes. So the explosion / light others on fire is not from the point of impact with a player, but from wherever the tumbling flare ends up. What needs to be tested is if the flare will bounce between players indeffently before exploding, or if on contact with a 2nd player it detonates then. Anyway the result of it is you can double hit someone if they are near a wall, 15 from the contact, and another 15 from the resulting explosion as they wouldn't be knocked back far enough. --Org 01:35, 28 June 2012 (PDT)
