Flare Gun: viable?

(1/4) > >>

Audie Murphy:
I'm a new player, and the flare gun came up in a discussion about flame weapons, but the reaction wasn't, "it's a shitty weapon, no reason to use it," which is what I expected from reading the description and looking at the weapon's stats.

What does the flare gun actually do to a ship if you nail one with it?

Shinkurex:
I actually mount 2 flares on the sides of my goldfish... If you hit the enemy with one, it puts a 15 stack of fire on whatever component you hit... Very useful when you want to cause some engineer mayhem (especially if they brought chem spray instead of a fire extinguisher)

It should also be noted that the flare gun has the widest lateral turn arc in the game. 90 degrees if I am not mistaken. This means if it is mounted on the side of a ship it can shoot strait ahead and strait back. I have two flare guns on my goldfish for this reason, although the build isn't considered the best meta, it is tons of fun.

Damn you ninja Shinkurex

Who little old me? :))

Audie Murphy:
