The flamethrower is a support weapon, and a support weapon only. If you are wielding this weapon, you back up your teammates. Lighting a whole team on fire can help out your teammates, by weakening their shields. Just be careful, if used incorrectly, you could set your whole team on fire, the flame spreads easily. | The flamethrower is a support weapon, and a support weapon only.

The flamethrower is best used in close quarters combat. The trail of flame can act as a temporary smokescreen to blind snipers with. It is especially effective if used to retreat by running backwards away from an enemy to leave a trail of flame, deterring would-be pursuers from giving chase to a wall of fire, use caution because the flamethrower's damage is reduced when running backwards. It is effective as a denial of area weapon, you can set fire to doorways or flags to discourage anyone from crossing that area, and damaging those that do (possibly even catching on fire and killing unshielded opponents). | The flamethrower is best used in close quarters combat.
