    Flamethrower range = Too short to make it a viable weapon

    I never used the flamethrower much in FC5 , but I've been steered to go loud in New Dawn and thought I'd give the weapon a fair shake.
    The thing is, it's borderline useless. Enemies don't catch on fire all the time and the range is no more than 20 ft long. You will not survive if you try to use this as a primary weapon, because the range to hit is so short. So short in fact that you will more likely burn yourself by the time you get close enough to hit an enemy with it. It's hard to believe that this weapon got approved in QA testing.
    In my opinion the range on this thing should be at the very least be doubled or tripled. This seems on par to holding a lighter up to a can of hair spray. It just doesn't work as a weapon.

    Hey sylvester_

    Thanks for writing in with your feedback on the flamethrower.

    Does anyone have anything to add? Agree or Disagree with OP on this? Would love to hear some additional opinions.
