Anyone find the flamethrower a bit boring?

[Quadsword]

It's not a bad weapon, but it's just not as fun to use as the Cryo Cannon or Sludge Pump.

Cryo Cannon lets me freeze things and chunk them for big damage. Pair me up with a Gunner using the Thunderhead and swarms basically don't exist.

Sludge Pump lets me slow down bugs with sludge pools and does good damage against heavies. Also, it reminds me of the Bio Rifle from Unreal Tournament, but actually effective and not a meme weapon.

Maybe I'd like the flamethrower more if I could get my hands on Face Melter and run it as a pure damage build.

Nope. It's the finest VG flamethrower I've ever had the pleasure of committing virtual xenocide with, and I would not change a single thing about it.

Pretty much

I just like the feel of the flamethrower. It just feels cool and kills bugs quick. I personally do not like the Sludge Pump as I feel it is slower at killing bugs. I realize this may not be true, but it just feels slower to me. I just don't like how the Ice cannon works, personal taste for me. I realize some people may want more synergy of weapons / different combos, but I got other classes for that and sometimes lighting things on fire, blowing stuff up, and driving axes into heads is all you need.

TLDR: Pretty lights makes bugs glow. Play the game how you like.

Allow us to use white phosphorus so we can commit interplanetary war crimes.

Is it still a war crime if the bugs can't report it?

You know what, i absolutely love the idea of having a fireball OC.
GSG, c'mon! Fireball OC!!!

Replace the primary fire entirely with tap fired fireballs, and maybe add a secondary, charged up, bigger fireball with bonus properties.

They could shoot straight at low~medium velocity, or in an arc with falloff, explode on hit, or just burn the enemy/area/ground as a sticky fireball. Or better yet, make it bounce.

I had this exact same thought (apart from the bounce part) before realizing that that's basically EXACTLY what he Sludge Pump already does. (Minus the fire part)

I think I've said it elsewhere, but I really do think the Sludge Pump probably came from a scrapped Flamethrower OC.
