Weapons & Equip New Flamethrower type weapons

[Lecic]

Definitely support. Flamethrower progression needs more love. This, combined with @SzGamer227's Fuel Cannisters would make flamethrowers even more awesome.

I think despite all the request to add the slime gun to the recipe for the Hellraiser, I think I'm going to remove it.

I feel like it affects the accessibility of this weapon in a negative way. If the King Slime were less expensive/more common to fight, then it might be worth it.

OP update: upgraded the flames that the Elf Melter shoots.

 

[Lecic]

I like the new Elf Melter "furious flames" upgrade.

 

[AlexTerrarian]

A flametrower with cured fire ammo would be great for this idea .

I am not here to suggest new ammo types, if you want to see that, here is an excellent suggestion by SzGamer227 that covers that, click here to see that.

You're welcome.

The OP says that the Flamethrower can, as it is currently, penetrate infinitely. It can only pierce through 10 enemies, so that should be fixed, althrough making flamethrowers able to do so could be made part of the suggestion as well.

I was unaware of this, but that's probably because the times when you fight more than 10 enemies (and you aren't instantly murderizing them with the flamethrower) aren't exactly common.

Flamethrowers just don't get enough attention. A specific Shroomite helmet could also help their viability. They're the summoners of rangers.

Support!

Please, no more shroomite helmets.

They get the bullet boost currently, I believe.

They don´t get any boosts from any Shroomite helmets. Guess it´s yet another reason to overhaul it.

 

[Scarecrow]

shroomite helmets should accommodate a specific playstyle rather than a damage subtype.
but that's a topic for another thread.

This is cool. Flamethrowers become their own class of ranged weapons.

+1 Support. I really like the new ones and the buff to the Elf Melter would make it decent. Maybe you could add a Pumpkin Moon one as well? Flamethrowers seem to suit the Pumpkin Moon more than the Frost Moon.

pumpkin moon already has 2 ranged weapons. It doesn't need a third one.

i love flamethrowers, so just like in the falmethrower ammo thread,
here you go:

 

[Jason_c_o]

Support. I've always wanted a late-game Flamethrower (That wasn't Christmas themed*)!

 

[Rukrio]

i also support this. as much as i don't give a about ranged weapons for using ammo, i never see anybody who does use guns/bows using flamethrowers, and i also support it's supplementing idea for fuel canisters as flamethrower ammo cause even melee and to some degree magic weapons have diversity in their use with flasks and even simply weapons that have different debuffs and uses, respectively.

 

[TheManOfMods]

Holy Mother of Flamethrowers! The Hellraiser and Infernocitor are very awesome and cool names! (Why can't I think names like that. ) These should be also added since Flamethrowers are my favorite, even though I'm forever a Mage/Sorcerer.

 

[Thamanizer33]

Flamethrowers should fire like the new aqua scepter in my opinion, cause they still shoot flammable liquids in real life, not just pure flames. (if you get what i'm saying)
