Flamethrower

For the Flamethrower in Deus Ex: Invisible War, see Flamethrower (DX2).

A Flamethrower fires burning napalm at enemies.

The Flamethrower is a powerful weapon. When enemy catches fire, and they always do when shot with a flamethrower, they will run around aimlessly and take damage at the same time. A single ignite is enough to kill any normal human. Unfortunately, the flamethrower becomes less useful later in the game - MJ-12 Commandos take only half damage from fire and Men in Black simply have so much HP that you will need more than one ignite to kill them.

It can be found early in the game, from an NSF solder in Battery Park. It is also the preferred weapon of Gunther Hermann.
