Blowtorch Use?

[tiberiansun371alexw]

I keep breaking blowtorches when I use them like melee weapons. When I just stand close to the zombies and hope they catch on fire... nothing happens. I mean, even the molotovs can be used semi-effectivly even if the fire doesn't spread between zombies (sadly)

One use I found for the Blowtorch is to light trees on fire. This can come in very handy when it comes to the UFO vehicle level.

I also like to use it to kill the Anime Trader.

I break the blowtorch on trees too. Also Okatu Katanas are not a bad deal, pair it with something sturdier and you can use them the same way you use grenades: disposable anti-crowd weapons.

Sure, but then why not just use a weapon that won't ever break?

Besides, you can find them out in the wild. Never buy anything from the Anime Trader because he's a total sham.

You still haven't answered how to set fire to stuff with the blowtorch without breaking it...

- Blowtorch and similar weapons will now properly work again, instead of characters swinging them around like a melee weapon at full ammo

[RainingMetal]

I mean, they just fire until they run out of fuel, right?

My characters still break blowtorches like melee weapons. Do I hold X continously or press periodically like I do for throwables?

go to the ILEUM experimental build as the part 2 patch hasn't been fully done yet
