Flamethrowers

Flamethrowers are mechanical incendiary devices designed to project a controllable stream of fire.

In Cavesrl Flamethrowers are rare but powerful weapons suited for mid-close combat, they are one of the few weapons that can shoot even if the targeted tile is empty, for this reason they are great at crowd control, Flamethrowers are great support weapons and they use an unique ammo type know has "Flamethrower Fuel".

However, Flamethrowers are nearly useless if your target has fire resistance or if it is completaly immune to fire.

Quality Variations:

Unlike most weapons, Flamethrowers are always found in perfect quality, with a few minor differences on each model such as fuel consuption and initial damage.

Special Variants:

Energy Weapons

Energy Weapons are (most experimental) weapons that can be found with some ease at mid-to-late game, there are several types of energy weapons, including melee weapons, however most of them use the character's energy as ammo.

Ranged Energy weapons.

This is the most common type of energy weapons, they are usually more powerful than a firearm, having shorter reload time and higher damage, but they consume the player's energy to work properly.

Desintegrator

Are powerful ranged weapons, that will deal very high damage, in exchange for a high amount of energy, and although they are described as "experimental" they are quite common mid game being dropped by a few Robots or found inside lockers in some Ancient Ruins.

Phase Gun

Phase guns are one of the most common energy weapons you can find, they deal less damage and are more economic than a Desintegrator, but they have the unique ability to hit several enemies at once.

Phase Repeater

An alternative version of the Phase Gun, they deal less damage per shoot, and will consume even less energy, however they shoot 3 energy bolts per attack, and still posses the ability to hit several enemies at once.

Type-6 "Eraser"

The Type-6 is one of the most powerful energy weapons in Cavesrl, being one of the strongest weapons even in the hands of characters with poor ranged skill, when used it causes a violent plasma explosion that will deal very damage to any entity on the affected area and will destroy even the strongest walls, it uses "Plasma Charge" as ammo instead of your energy.

However, this weapon is a experiment that never made out of the prototype phase, so use it with extreme caution.

Type-8 "Mjonir"

The Type-8 is one of the most powerful energy weapons in Cavesrl, being one of the strongest weapons even in the hands of characters with poor ranged skill, when used it causes an extremaly deadly explosion in a small area followed by several lighting strikes, it uses "Energy Charge" as ammo instead of your energy.

However, this weapon is a experiment that never made out of the prototype phase, so use it with extreme caution.

Melee Energy Weapons

This is a secondary type of energy weapon, none of them requires energy to work, but some still consume it, while most won't use your energy.
