i don't no why i stopped putting them on my mechs

there great troll and defensive weapons

it cuts larger mechs down to size witch is great when im off on my own

and getting people to cook themselves is the best part

[Redacted]

so my fellow mech warriors do you use flamers ?

I'd use them more often, if they didn't look like fricking flashlights...

The laughter at 1:27 and on makes me think you guys were extremely high when you were playing.

Its vented plasma rather than an actual flame so it makes sense visually. The name "flamers" is misleading

how else would it work on HPG

What is wrong with you people

Not once in all the years ive been playing this game die I ever even consider taken a ******** flamer when I can take lasers, fat autocannons, ppcs, rockets or gauss.

What is wrong with you that for years you speak thousands of threads about this unworthy weapon. What kind of onlinewarrior would ever touch that weak stuff. You should treat your online lifes with more respect and fight properly.

Or dont fight at all

I would love to use 2xflamers in a brawling light mech to ensure that the enemy mech shut(s)down continuously in search of the headshot however my Arctic Cheater goes about doing its thing with 5xcspl and 1xcflamer.

Is this really so difficult for PGI to do?

i like how sometimes a single flamer can mean the failure of a defensive line or the success of a push. if i see a flamer wielding mech in brawling range in fp or pretty much anywhere, i hot override swing my guns and start blasting. i spam coolshots while they last and try to kill it before i die.

One of the funniest things that I've ever done in this game is fight a 12 ERSLas Nova with my Adder Prime lore build. He kept overheating because of my single flamer. It was beautiful.

If this says something, I've won fighting two Arctic Cheetahs in my MLX, because I had a flamer as a secondary weapon...

Really, I'd use them more often, but I hate micromanaging more than two weapon groups, especially if the third weapon group doesn't have something to do with tertiary lasers I barely use or missiles.
