The Finals Flamethrower: Pros, Cons, Build, And Skins

The Flamethrower in The Finals is a powerful close-range weapon, spitting fire to clear buildings and melt down enemies. However, its fuel limitations and slow reload make it a high-risk, high-reward choice. My guide will help you master the Inferno, providing in-depth stats, skin details, and a breakdown of its pros and cons.

Flamethrower Overview

The Flamethrower is a unique weapon only available to the Heavy Class. It is a short-range weapon that deals moderate damage over time by spewing fire in the aimed direction.

I have compiled a brief overview of weapon stats in the table below:

Flamethrower	Base Stats
Build	Heavy Class
Type	Miscellaneous
Body	28 DMG
Headshot	N/A
DPS	89
Mag Size	30
Reload Time	3.5s

Pros And Cons 

Following are some pros and cons that you should familiarize yourself with about this weapon: 

Best Flamethrower Build

To have the Best Flamethrower build, I would recommend you go with the following configuration:

• Weapon: Flamethrower.
• Specialization: Mesh Shield.
• Gadgets: RPG-7, C4, Dome Shield.

Considering that a Flamethrower is a close-range weapon, this optimal build maximizes survivability to approach opponents. To this end, Mesh Shield is your best choice for specialization.

Moreover, this build should provide ample ranged capabilities. The RPG-7, capable of downing a Light Build in one shot, inflicts significant damage. Alongside RPG-7, the C4 is an effective tool for demolishing obstacles and walls. 

Finally, regarding gadgets, the Dome Shield protects essential objectives. Deploy the shield around Cash Out points to be protected from enemy fire, and use the Flamethrower to melt anyone that enters the sphere. 

Skins 

There are four skin rarities in The Finals as of currently:

• Legendary
• Epic
• Rare
• Common

Let’s get a quick overview of each rarity for the Flamethrower and their respective details;

Legendary

As of writing this guide, there aren’t any legendary flamethrower skins in The Finals. You can check back in later when it becomes available.

There are three epic skins for the flamethrower, some of which are included in the bundles, and some require grinding the game to acquire them.

• Skin: Impromptu Flamethrower.
• Bundle Price: 1,150 Multibucks.

• Skin: Triangle Twinkle Flamethrower.

• Skin: Scrapyard Scars Flamethrower.
• Price: 150 Multibucks.

• Skin: Posh Terrazzo Flamethrower.
• Price: 150 Multibucks.

Common

There are five Common skins, including the default skin, that are as follows:

• Skin: Standard Issue Flamethrower.
• Default Flamethrower Skin.

• Skin: Dye Job Yellow Flamethrower.
• How to Open: Reach Weapon Level 2 on Flamethrower.

• Skin: Dye Job Blue Flamethrower.
• How to Open: Reach Weapon Level 3 on Flamethrower.

• Skin: Dye Job Red Flamethrower.
• How to Open: Reach Weapon Level 4 on Flamethrower.

• Skin: Dye Job White Flamethrower.
• How to Open: Reach Weapon Level 5 on Flamethrower.

Finally, I would categorize this weapon as a double-edged sword in terms of overall effectiveness. Nevertheless, it should not be overlooked, as it has the potential to eradicate enemy teams that cluster together completely. Experienced players can even use the Goo Gun to prevent the enemy from escaping once they start burning. While it can take a bit of practice to pull this off, it’s incredibly satisfying to outsmart an enemy this way.
