« | The flamer’s been around since ancient Greece, and you can be sure their enemies called it “being Greeked”, which probably isn’t all that different from now. Because face it, when someone sprays you with flammable gas, you are well and truly fucked. The name comes from the German “Flammenwerfer”, which is a dick move, because it sounds like you should be roasting marshmallows with it, not eyeballs. But we digress. | » |

The Flamer is a special weapon in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon which allows Rex Colt to spray a steady stream of burning fuel onto enemies, vehicles, and the environment. It functions identically to the Flamethrower from Far Cry 3, and has not been given any special modifications to alter its use or appearance in any way.
The flamethrower is an incredibly cost-effective weapon, with all enemy types except Heavy Gunners only needing a very short tap of the trigger to set them on fire and kill them almost instantly. With careful use, Rex can kill over a dozen soldiers without having to use up a fuel tank. This is helpful if the player is running low on cash and needs to save money, as the flamethrower has a very high ratio of kills-to-cost for ammo. Trying to kill a Heavy Gunner of either type with the flamethrower is not reccomended, as it will take over an entire fuel tank of either type to set them on fire, and they will continue to ignore the flames and keep shooting at Rex for quite a while until they finally succumb to the flames.

Trivia[]
- As with the Far Cry 2 appearance, the Far Cry 3 and subsequent Blood Dragon variant appears to be another modified variant of the Soviet LPO-50.[1]
- The updated fuel tank, however, appears to be based on a World War 2 German gas mask canister.
- The Data Console description of the Flamer references the German origins of the name "flamethrower" as a reference to the main game mission Bad Side of Town, in which Jason Brody meets Willis Huntley, who refers to the flamethrower he gives Jason as a "Flammenwerfer".
