Flamethrower could use some love.

We all know it. For whatever reason, the devs have decided to give it a myriad of nerfs versus its real-life counterpart, including:

Abysmal range.

Inability to hipfire.

Little to no suppression.

Inability to bounce flames or clear out rooms.

Massive movement and aiming speed reduction.

Any of these individually aren’t great, but together they make the flamethrower loadout’s most effective weapon the backup pistol. It is longer ranged, a more reliable and maneuverable shot, and doesn’t fire a largely useless “shoot here” beacon for your enemies.

Please buff our butane lighters to the fun weapons they actually were. There’s a reason the achievement for 5 fire kills in a match has less than 1% unlock rate on Steam.

PS. While we’re at it, let flamethrowers blind tanks and/or damage their engine.
