Getting the Flamer mods

[Avram]

Ok, so - I must've scrapped 7-8 flamers already and I'm still not getting any new mods. I've got 2/5. I need the long barrel. Can't find it at any vendor.
Will I get the plan if I scrap enough flamers?
Are the odds better if I upgrade it to the fullest before scrapping?

Learning mods from scrapping isn't guaranteed so you might need to scrap a bit more to get what you're after. Flamers are relatively uncommon drop so it's better to get the plans and craft them for scrapping. Upgrading doesn't affect the chance of learning the mods.

"so it's better to get the plans"
Just to make sure I understand you: better to get the plans for the flamer and keep making it until I get the mods by scrapping flamers?
Or get the plans for the mods somehow?

Oh, sorry, meant the plans for flamer. Of course if you find plans for mods it helps but those can be much harder to find.

So: scrap flamers until I get the mods.
Thank you very much!

Scrapping for plans is not an exact science. Sometimes you can scrap 15 and get most plans other times you need to scrap 40.

You can have another player craft the exact specs you want for the gun then give it to you.

You're welcome. :) Equip Super Duper while crafting the flamers and you have a chance to save some materials. :)

Long barrel no good - I chance it to normal barrel and killing is better :-)

Yeah before you go and scrap Rob’s of Flanders, check out Angry Turtles recent video titled:

“ PTS: FLAMER Range Fixed, BUT It's Not What You Asked For!!! - Fallout 76”

They’ve adjusted or are adjusting mods on the flamer that will affect its performance. You might want to watch this to see if you’re killing yourself trying to get mod plans only for it to be pointless.

Scrap more at once. An old trick is to scrap other things you do know plans for, then scrap a few flamers at once. Dunno if this still works but it made finding my handmade mods take a fraction of the time. Heads up, flamer long barrel was a tad bugged, dunno if that's fixed.

Just checking if I got it right: the problem is in the hit box?
I'm using short range because it makes me stand really ridiculously close. I was hoping non-short range would be better?

I use the standard barrel for range and it absolutely decimates anything and everything that gets in its way. It's my go to daily op weapon for when you have to boost the signals and can't leave the area.
