FLAME THROWER

     Winning the creative modification award, the UFT-1 is based on an Ultor brand plant defoliator. It shoots a 4 meter stream of a sticky napalm-like substance that can sustain itself for up to 30 seconds of burning, or you can take out the fuel canister and use it as an incendiary bomb. Be wary of just spraying it like crazy because not only does this thing burn fuel fast, but whatever you light could very well come running at you toasting your buns in the process. You'll find the Flame Thrower rarely being used against you in the single-player game, but if you do have the misfortune of happening across one being pointed at you, you'd be best off distancing yourself from whomever is mean enough to pull the trigger, because this sucker is lethal.

  • Primary Fire: Fires a four meter long stream of flame igniting unarmored opponents instantly.
  • Alternate Fire: Pulls out the fuel canister and tosses it as an incendiary bomb.
  • Pros: Extremely effective against unarmored opponents and can devastate groups of people. It also supports the auto-aim functionality in the PS2 version. Besides, it's just fun to set people on fire.
  • Cons: Incendiary bomb is weak, slow to throw, and generally ineffective. The stream of flame is also not the prettiest flame-thrower effect out there.
  • Recommendation: Use it if you want, but you'll find yourself rarely switching to it during the actual game unless it's to torture a few "innocent" bystanders whom were stupid enough to sign up for Ultor.
