Characteristics[]

The improved flamer has a 5 damage upgrade over its cousin which when combined with the improved flamethrower fuel can do a lot more damage in a single shot, which is often required as most enemies in the range of the flamer is very likely to be packing a burst fire weapon which can dispatch you in one shot.
