Ok, I recently quit the hologrind and got back Master Commando. Now I want to assemble a good pvp flamethrower. I want it to have high speed and high accuracy, damage is not a huge concern. My question to all you is what can i use to achieve this goal? I am not a weaponsmith but i want to gather krayt tissues and anything else i can use to make a good flamethrower. I tried doing a search but couldn't pull up any info.


I know I have seen a few amazing flamethrowers made with krayt tissues and form fitted stocks, is there anything else I can get that will help with speed/accuracy? And how many krayt tissues will i need to make a flamethrower?


Thank you for your time

You will need 4 krayt tissues for the factory made power-handlers and 1 for the schematic. Total of 5 identical krayt tissues needed.

Nothing will improve the (frankly bugged) accuracy on FT's and aside from FF stock and krayt tissue there isn't much else to help buff the dmg/spd on them. Perhaps an exceptional looted barrel but those are rare. Also I've seen so mny people go this route for an FT and get pwned on the slice. IMO you're better to buy a crate of FTs and go get em all sliced and keep the ones you want.

Thanks for the info and opinions on making a good flamethower, I still want to try a Krayt/FF Flamethrower but I may just have to go for it with mass slicing. I appreciate the help

for a minor boost to accuracy, at a cost of speed and a little bit of damage:

Have a weaponsmith make an "accurate" stock : experiment the accuracy on the stock up as much as possible.

That's all very well Xieflow but the whole thing about the FT is the speed. A stock made for accuracy is gonna add about 0.6/0.7 on to the final combine speed and the negative ideal rnage mod will change little. If it is an intentional range mod it makes about as much sense as the one on the Scythe (ideal is further than Max lol) or the Rep Blaster. You could try having an adv barrel experimented for accuracy, and this will not affect the speed so much, when coupled with an FF stock.


On a final note if you can try using a 12 pt smith for this, as his extra points for making the barrel and the FT itslef will help immensely...

I *do* know that my super slow high accuracy power hammers are fairly popular with those grinding up the 2H sword tree.

Also, the 12 point WS won't have any effect on the barrel. I'm already maxing both damage and range on advanced rifle barrels... 'Course it's better to use regular barrels for FT 'cause they are maybe 0.1 or 0.2 faster, however you won't get as big an accuracy boost, even if you max out accuracy on the regular barrel (which even a +2 point MWS can't do : Max both damage and range on a regular barrel)
