Heavy incinerator (Broken Steel)

Template:FO3 weapon

The Heavy incinerator (Broken Steel) is a weapon which is added to Fallout 3 with the Broken Steel downloadable content pack.

Characteristics

The Incinerator works like a mortar, lobbing projectile blasts of fire at the target in an arc. These blasts of fire have slight splash damage, and obviously set the enemy on fire.

It's interesting to note that the Incinerator shoots one shot per fuel used, and shoots these much like a rifle, while being auto-fire in V.A.T.S. mode.

The Heavy Incinerator can be fired extremely long distances with relatively good accuracy, it can even be effectivly fired across the river to hit enemies on the other side.

The Heavy Incinerator benefits from the Pyromaniac Perk.
With enough practice and careful attention to the arc the fire takes, this item can effectively used to "shell" groups of enemies. This works great at Roosevelt Academy or the Enclave camp near Oasis.
The Heavy Incinerator is great for taking out mines such as the ones in Minefield.
There is a 50% chance that Sarah Lyons will be seen holding this weapon before the mission "Take it Back!".
In VATS you fire three shots per selection but your ammo only goes down 1 per selection
This weapon is close to silent, and will not alert enemies that are mid to long range from you.
The Heavy Incinerator is a great tool for taking out Deathclaws. It seems to cripple body parts very quickly, so the deathclaw can not run or leap at you. This may also be an advantage over the Dart Gun because the Heavy Incinerator deals damage fast, you don't need to swich over to a stronger weapon, and you gain all of the advantages from the Deathclaw also having its arms, torso, and head crippled.
In contrast to other flamthrowers, the heavy incinerator actually throws the flames.
