I just finished a base mission where I uncovered a flame thrower in the weapons cache. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I am expecting great things. This incredible find coming the mission after discovering the pure destructive ecstacy of the plasma shotgun, I just can't wait for close quarters combat now.

Just be careful to not burn your own soldiers.

Ooof... The first mission you use the flame thrower is not the best time to run into mind controllers. Half of my primary strike squad is now in sickbay and one pour soul didn't make it back at all.

Really? The flamethrower is one of the best distance weapons against Rets, the other being the autocannon. The CAWS and Neostad are short range weapons. Just my opinion.

Oddly enough tho, the flamethrower is bugged as all area of effect weapons when they use up multiple shots in one go. The flamer is supposed to have an ammo capacity of 12 with a value of 600 damage per unit and supposed to use of 6 of those units in a single shot bringing the total (RAW) damage to 3600 but it actually stays at 600. It works, but is not as effective as it's supposed to be.
