The Flame Thrower fires a stream of fire droplets onto the terrain. It can burn through terrain quickly and also push worms over quite far distances. It can also be quite useful if combined with the wind (even more if Low Gravity is on), reaching far targets to push. Flame Thrower is the standard team weapon.
If Special Weapon mode is enabled, teams with the Flame Thrower are supplied 1 ammo of this weapon with a delay of 1 turn.
Tactics
Just like Minigun, the Flame Thrower can deal plenty of damage burning a worm against a wall, ensuring that the worm will not escape from the flames when it starts jumping due to the burns.
Trivia
- References to other media: the Worms Armageddon english description of Flame Thrower is a verse from the chorus of the single Light My Fire by the American rock band The Doors: "Come on baby, light my fire!".
