The '''M6634/Defoliant Projector''', also referred to as the '''6634 DS''',{{Ref|''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'', section "UNSC Weapons", page 320 (2011 edition)|Id=Enc}} is a flamethrower that was in service with the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], particularly its [[Hellbringers|Hellbringer]] divisions, during the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Most notably, the weapon was used by troops of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in [[2531]], during the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Battle for Arcadia]] and [[Battle of Trove]].{{Ref/Reuse|HWCamp}} The weapon is a variant of the [[NA4 flamethrower|NA4/Defoliant Projector]].{{Ref/Reuse|Prima}}{{Ref/Note|Most sources refer to this weapon as simply "the NA4".

By 2531, the [[Hellbringers|Hellbringer]] complement of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} had been outfitted with these weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|Prima}} In February of that year, these soldiers would be deployed against the [[Covenant]] on the surface of [[Harvest]] and later [[Arcadia]].

In ''Halo Wars'', the M6634 flamethrower is the primary weapon of the Hellbringer unit.{{Ref/Game|HW|Hellbringer unit|Id=HWUnit}} It excels in an anti-infantry role, able to kill enemy units with relative ease, and is also useful for destroying enemy buildings. However, it is essentially useless against enemy vehicle and air units, and it has a very short range.{{Ref/Reuse|Prima}}

The Hellbringer unit can be upgraded to gain a flashbang ability. This equips the M6634 flamethrower with a grenade launcher attachment, which the Hellbringers can use to fire a [[flashbang grenade]] at enemy units. This will stun the enemy unit for a short period, allowing the Hellbringers to deal damage to them with little resistance. Additionally, a further upgrade will cause the flamethrower's napalm to stick to enemies and continue to deal damage for a while after the Hellbringer has stopped firing, and the final upgrade will increase the weapon's damage to enemy units across the board.{{Ref/Reuse|Prima}}
