	— 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 holder 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).

Modifications

There are five tiers of modifications and each tier has two to three upgrades. Only one modification can be equipped per tier.

Unique Modifications

Heat Radiance

Heat Radiance is a modification that causes the Flamethrower to emit an aura of heat onto all enemies within 3 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.

Area Damage: 80 Fire + Heat
Maximum Damage Radius: 3m
Radius: 3m

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.

Area Damage: 55 Fire + Heat
Maximum Damage Radius: 0.5m
Radius: 3m
Minimum Damage: 25%
Friendly Fire Modifier: 0%

Trivia

Sticky Flames 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.

-== About ==
-The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the [[Driller]]'s default primary weapon. It is a combat-ready flamethrower which gets its fuel from large tanks inserted into a holder 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 [[Creatures|enemies]] and quickly raising their temperature to ignite them. Creatures lit on fire take progressive damage over time. The large size of each tank coupled with the infinite piercing aspect of the flame stream make this weapon excellent at area control, being able to damage several enemies at once and quickly killing lighter foes who can't take the heat.
-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 and further reinforcing the "area control" role this weapon fulfills. Sticky flames are excellent for stopping small enemies like [[Glyphid Swarmer]]s who instantly die when trying to run through them.
-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 Praetorian]]s or [[Glyphid Grunt Guard]]s) 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 [[Creatures#Mactera|Mactera]] enemies (as a trait unique to the gun).
-The biggest flaw of the weapon is its range; the fire stream only extends so far outwards, requiring the driller to be up close to his foes to get the most out of the weapon, which can be dangerous. Mactera enemies can be particularly problematic for this weapon, even considering the damage boost, as they typically fly outside of its range and force the Driller to use his [[Subata 120|secondary]] [[Experimental Plasma Charger|weapons]]. And while the weapon is excellent to kill small and medium foes with, its low base damage causes it to struggle against bigger foes like Praetorians who can stand up to the fire stream long enough to potentially damage teammates.

-==== It Burns! ====
-[[File:Icon Upgrade ScareEnemies.png|64px|left]]
-'''It Burns!''' is a modification that adds a 13% chance for a target to flee in Fear for every second they take damage from the weapon. This may sound counterintuitive at first, but targets who flee while ignited will often burn to death without requiring any further input. It also helps the Driller to clear out spaces by causing enemies to run away, giving himself and his team room to breathe. This upgrade pairs well with mods that improve the Sticky Flames, such as '''Sticky Flames Slowdown''' or '''Sticky Flames Damage''', as enemies will have to run back through the Sticky Flames to get to you.
