When bullets or blunt force just don't cut it, a sea of roaring, sticky napalm usually does. Practically never explodes in your face.
— Item Description

The CRSPR Flamethrower is the Driller's default primary weapon. It is a combat-ready flamethrower which gets its fuel from large tanks inserted into a cage on the side. The huge oversized nozzle on the end of the gun has two gas emitters to turn the weapon's fuel into a sea of hellfire.

The Flamethrower emits a stream of fire when the trigger is held, damaging enemies and quickly raising their temperature to ignite them. Creatures lit on fire take progressive damage over time.

The Flamethrower leaves behind "Sticky Flames" on surfaces whenever the fire stream touches a part of the world. Sticky flames will rapidly damage enemies who walk through them, dealing extra damage.

The Flamethrower also has several other unique aspects; it has minor armor piercing abilities due to not using bullets or explosives, and it can damage enemies through their armor plates (such as Glyphid Praetorians or Glyphid Grunt Guards) albeit at a reduced rate. The weapon deals bonus damage to Glacial Strata enemy variants due to its nature as a fire weapon, and also to Mactera enemies (as a trait unique to the gun).

Unique Modifications[]

Unique Modifications
Icon Upgrade Heat
Heat Radiance
Heat Radiance is a modification that causes the Flamethrower to emit an aura of heat onto all enemies within 4 meters, while the trigger is being held. The heat is strong enough to ignite most enemies after 1 second of constant fire, and can expedite the rate at which enemies at very close ranges are ignited by the flamethrower's direct flame or sticky flames.
Icon Upgrade Explosion
Targets Explode
Targets Explode is a modification that gives enemies a 50% chance to explode if killed with direct damage. This damages enemies inside of the 0.5 meter radius of the explosion.


This applies to creatures of any size, including small enemies like swarmers or maggots.

Trivia[]

  • The weapon's full ammo interaction consists of the Driller pulling out one of its fuel canisters and briefly twirling it around before putting it away.
  • The CRSPR will melt the environment in Glacial Strata. They can also melt platforms if the Engineer who placed them has the Plastcrete MKII modification.
  • "CRSPR" is a play on the word "crisper", referring to the weapon's ability to burn creatures to a crisp.
  • The CRSPR will burn through Organic Material on Egg Hunt missions.
  • The CRSPR can burn and remove web hazards.
  • Mission Control, in his comments when the player completes the assignment to unlock the Colette Wave Cooker, implied that the CRSPR was once used in an attempt to cook food aboard the Space Rig (in violation of company policy), which likely ended poorly for everyone involved given how he called it "the Flamethrower incident in the mess hall."
