Several questions about a Flamer.

[BrutHammer]

1. What is the best legendary mod for it?
2. Why it is so weak against high lvl enemies?
3. What nozzle is the best to use?
-------
Plasma Thrower has excellent damage but the ammo is very expensive and hard to find.
-------
Crylator has a good damage output and can slow your enemies or even freez them.

I am only guessing but I was playing around with one and noticed.

1. I like the freezing flamer and taking the overdrive chem so freezing the enemy solid works outside vats
2. It's a fast weapon but low damage so a lot of the damage is lost if the enemy has some resistances. As it wont tick for much after the amount ressisted is taken away.
3. I like the standard as it has the longest range.

I've got one that cripple enemies legs, noone can run away from me but the damage is very low.

Wounding makes it overpowered, but the plasma caster can be modded to act like a flamer and is lighter and can work with either rifleman or handgun perks.

So wounding plasma gun modded that way is your best bet.

i wish it had an incinerator nozzle so you could launch fireballs at enemies.

From what I've read flame dmg sucks all around unless you can get a good legendary like wounding or crippling. Imo heavy weapons need a little love miniguns and flamers especially.

There is no plasma caster in Fallout 4, unfortunately.

Plasma infused minigun is ok. Crippling flamer sucks in damage. On survival you can't hold over 10k ammo for it.

If you get a flamer with a great mod like kneecapping, give it to your companion. Put the short range higher damage nozzle on because they face tank enemies anyway. They seem to be judicious with the ammo and a couple hundred flamer fuel can last for ages. Get prepared to watch them melee enemies with it once they completely close distance.
