Useless flamethrower?
There's something wrong with the flamethrower. It refuses to set anything but Birkin, Ivys and certain zombies on fire. When you play the Konjac tofu, it doesn't set ANYTHING on fire, or does any damage I can see.

are you trying to ignite zombies in the sewage, or does it not work on dry zombos as well?
That seems really weird.

wtf? Works perfectly fine for me, although it's a lot more effective for the Ivys mutants and Birkin.

Zombies light on fire just fine but take ages to actually die unless you keep firing.

Wait, you can get a flamethrower as tofu?

As Konjac, the alternate Tofu version you get by completing Tofu with the knife.

You also get a version armed with an entire inventory full of grenades, one with the Colt SAA and a magnum, and one with the minigun, sparkshot, and rocket launcher.

Flamer just isn't that great of a weapon on zombies really. Takes a while to light them up, and they are not slowed by it. Where as it's great against an Ivy or G mutant. But if you can't light zombies on fire at all even after firing on them for a bit could be a bug.

Flamethrower kind of look realistic in terms of dealing with zombies. The main intimidating factor of any flamethrower is massive pain. If you enemy can't feel pain the only way to use it is to burn enemy to crisp which is extremely hard to do, especially with gas flamethrower.

I used it mostly on ivys, G3 and G-creatures. Shotgun against zombies. Handgun and Magnum against Bosses.

You just kind of have to accept that everything Leon gets is garbage compared to Claire.

Leon's terrible handgun with nearly worthless 3-shot attachment? Gun that upgrades into a mini-magnum and another one with a laser sight for easy headshots.

Shotgun that takes 3+ shells to kill a licker, and doesn't stagger them at all? Grenade launcher whose crafted ammo does a ton of damage in aoe, and stuns lickers for a looong time so you can pump a few handgun rounds in them for the easy kill......and non-craftable rounds that quite commonly kills lickers in a single hit (due to them sitting in the fire? dunno).

Magnum which is decent but not THAT powerful and limited enough ammo that you have to save it for the heavy enemies or bosses? A submachine gun with plentiful ammo strewn about, no crafting required, and is great at mowing down zombie legs on the run and boss weakpoints alike!


Which brings us to the "is this thing bugged?" flamethrower versus the lightningthrower.

I think this is the reason Leon learned all those karate takedowns in later games. **** all those weak guns!
