Flamethrower

"Not to be confused with the RMS12 Flamethrower found in Spy Hunt."

"This weapon uses high pressure to project and ignite a stream of flammable chemicals, allowing a specialist to set the opposition ablaze with ease."

- The Arsenal

The Flamethrower is a Specialist Item added into the game in August 2009. It is said to be very similar to the RMS12 Flamethrower in Spy Hunt, but with limited amount of "flammable chemicals" (ammo) of 300. It costs the same as the M32 Grenade Launcher.

This weapon is found to be one of the most useful weapons in Quarantine, due to the fact that explosive and fire attacks are the strongest against Infected.

Players often use the M32 Grenade Launcher and the Flamethrower to get massive amounts of kills.

Many players complain about the usage of this weapon. When used, players that are general in the area of the weapon begin to experience lag.

This is commonly referred to as "The Lagthrower" Yet the users say that they have no problem firing.

Tips
On the 8/26/09 Patch this weapon has been adjusted.
 * When playing Quarantine, the zombies can rarely see through the flames, and the flames don't hurt you. Use this as an advantage by shooting the flames while jumping around. This way, zombies can't easily infect you. There have been recorded kills this way.
 * The Flamethrower is notorious for making other computers lag during use earning it the nickname "LagThrower" by some players.
