| Description |
| This Flamethrower is great for showing off to your friends whilst doing wheelies. It's not much good for, you know, fighting or mining or anything.
Many say that Dr. Lawrence Hartley was a deeply changed man following the demise of this collegue-come-rival Dr. Dick Phuquestayne following their completion of the Fabricator project. Hartley stepped down as chair of the Good Day Project and returned with his family to his native Canada. During this stage in his career, he turned away from inventions for the good of mankind and instead, to the surprise of many began work on weapons technologies. His efforts included the so called the 'Fusion Toothbrush', which would explode 30 seconds after it was turned on and the Reaper X1 Flamethrower, a devastating pyrotechnic weapon that he sold to the Venture corporation. Recent rumours suggest that he has turned a corner and may be in talks to take up his position at the Good Day Project once again. |
The Venture Reaper X1 Flamethrower is a grade 2 Weapon block manufactured by Venture. Like all Venture blocks, it can be crafted with a Venture Fabricator.
It has 1 attachment point(s) and takes up 3 cell(s).
Usage[]
Flamethrowers are only usable within close range. The Reaper X1 is mounted on a turret, so with some protection to soak up fire it will act very well burning through shields and most blocks, and are highly effective once the shields are down, as they deal reduced damage to shields. It is mostly outclassed by the Better Future Plasma Flamethrower due to the low damage and shorter range, not to mention that it also take twice the space just for the worse stats, although it should be noted that there is a free one-block space underneath the barrel. It is much more accessible than the Plasma Flamethrower early to mid-game. In general, it is mostly a niche weapon as most other Venture weapons can do better than that while not taking up that much space.
Trivia[]
- This weapon was named after the player ReaperX1.
- Due to the particle effects block has the potential to reduce framerate if used in large amounts.
- This weapon might not be designed for a weapon originally, despite the second part of the description. Rather, it was simply a piece of pyrotech. This is further reinforced by the first part of the description, stating that it is only good for it's aesthetic value.
- It also references the fact that flames cannot damage rocks at all, making it useless for mining.
