Weapons & Equip Extinguisher of Souls: Flamethrower upgrade in Corrupt worlds.

[TheGuideIsEvil]

1 Flamethrower
10 Demonite Bar
30 Cursed Flame
20 Souls of Night

Damage: 40

Rarity: Light Purple

Best modifier: Unreal

Knockback: Weak

The Extinguisher of Souls is only available in Corrupt worlds (or Crimson worlds with artificial Corruption biomes). Consuming gel like other flamethrower weapons, the Extinguisher of Souls has a 33% base chance of not consuming ammo, deals both the Hellfire and Cursed Inferno effects at alternating frequencies, and attacks faster than its predecessor.

However, as downsides, the Extinguisher of Souls only deals a small amount of higher base damage than the Flamethrower, and only has a marginal amount of extra range than its predecessor.

It is technically immediately available after you craft the Flamethrower, but you still need Demonite Bars from the Eater of Worlds or Eye of Cthulhu. Its sprite resembles a purple reskin of the flamethrower with a green flame tip. The player is seen having a purple gas tank on their back with green fuel in it. The flames fired cycle through both green and orange coloration at random.

The name of the weapon references the Eater of Souls enemy, and the Fisher of Souls fishing rod.

The Elf Melter, its Post Plantera upgrade, is better, despite dealing less debuffs.

Tooltip: Has a chance to not consume ammo, Deals both Hellfire and Cursed Inferno

The Flamethrower is already quite a good weapon. It doesn't need an upgrade, and especially not an upgrade within the same tier.

If this was added, there would need to be a Crimson variant. Like a Liquid Napalm shooter but with Ichor.

Hmm..what if both variants requires Chlorophyte and were post mechs? It could replace the Demonite

I would prefer a Blood themed Flamethrower that uses your own health (blood) to fire.

Would need to have insane damage depending on how much health it took per shot

I think this idea doesn’t work anymore lol, the flamethrower is fine

This could maybe work if the standard flamethrower was downgraded and nerfed to be a pre-hardmode weapon made with hellstone. Maybe then have a crimson version, or a different weapon type upgraded for crimson.

I’m not sure people would want that, not like it’s a terrible idea (just very significant of a change)
