Just be aware that the max range with vaporisation nozzle will be abysmally short. Compression nozzle is about double the range of the vape nozzle and the standard nozzle is double again. Plasma flamer is around 3/4 the range of the standard nozzle.
If anything is further away than standing right at the end of your barrel you won't hit them. Often you feel like it is broken and not dealing any damage. The damage numbers might look impressive on paper but trust me you will not enjoy using it with such a crappy range.
For me the compression nozzle is the sweet spot. Some extra damage over standard nozzle but still enough range to be usable.
EDIT: A trick I totally forgot about from Fallout 4 will work in Fallout 76. I tried it and it works. This will allow vape nozzle damage and improved range at the same time on your flamer.
When applying mods to the flamer make sure to apply the long barrel mod last after every other mod. If mods are already on the flamer I just reset everything to default and start again to be safe. Just be aware it will only apply this increased range for the current session. When you log in next it will reset to the super short crappy range again.
You basically hate yourself if you have this mod.
It's a point melee weapon that burns ammo quickly. You don't know if you are close enough until you start shooting and it's easy for an enemy to get out of range.
Reset all my mods to default on my bloodied flamer. Put them all back on but made sure to do the long barrel mod last.
Now my flamer works with vape nozzle damage and has great range as well. Wish I had remembered this bug from Fallout 4 earlier.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, that really works.
Just right now i tried that.
I guess there's just one problem. Once you restart the game, the game recognizes that you have the vape nozzle equipped and the range gets back to it's intended range.
Because shortly after I first tried it, my game crashed and when I used the flamer again, the range was again in cuddle mode.
Yeah I just found that out myself. Never had that problem in Fallout 4.
I just removed the barrel and nozzle mods. Left all others as they were. Apply vape nozzle and then long barrel and it goes back to long range again.
Oh well still pretty cool to do it if you are playing for a few hours. Definitely worth it to spend the materials to mod it for the extra range for a session.
With Valentines day coming not a bad idea to share some cuddles all around. Just maybe not a good idea with the current world situation and absolutely not advised to share flamer cuddles with someone you care about under any circumstance. Unless friendly fire perk is equipped of course.
I would say, you better use the compression nozzle. The damage is also great, but you still have somewhat range with that. For me personally it would be annoying pretty fast over the time to constantly switch the mods just to exploit that bug.
It´s not about the ressources, I have plenty of that. The whole process would be just annoying to me.
I assume the non-explosive heavy guns perk cards work with the flamer.
Just found out, that just modding the barrel to default and then back to long also causes this bug. So you don´t have to set all your flamer mods back to default and back to max damage again. Still annoying to do everytime you start the game (or change server, that also will fix the bug), but at least you won´t waste that much ressources.
