ok Idea is that the flamethrower get a "fire extinguisher" by alt firing the flamethrower will shoot out clean gass which kills the flames because there is no oxygen coming through to the flames.

While I wouldn't mind an alt-fire for the flamer, a fire extinguisher to delete fire would be so rarely used it it would be worthless. The syringe has the exact same result.
aim on the ground and shoot. I say

How about making it so that healing someone doesn't have the same result
That would only happen if that player had armor when hit. An extinguisher would prevent the loss of armor. If the player doesn't have armor, then the syringe replacing the health loss would do the exact same thing as an extinguisher stopping health loss.
While somewhat cool, the extinguisher would be used so little that it would be useless. It takes up a valuable weapon slot (alt fire) but it is only useful if
1) The player has a significant amount of armor
2) A player has to be hit
3) The height difference bug in getting hit with a fireball
4) There is a firebug in the game
Add in that a husk makes up maybe 3% of the total number of specimens in the game.
I think there would be even less of a case to be made if the extinguisher was a whole separate "weapon."
That rarity of the situation where the extinguisher would possibly be useful instead of the syringe doesn't really exist.
So you suggest smothering a fire with highly inflammable gas ? Most interesting ...where the flamthrower shoots it regular ammo. just dont egnite the gass, which will kill the flames instead of making them bigger because the oxygen dont come through to the flames!
now I get what you ment.
but seriously a healing fire extingusher :O that sounds awfull.
I suggest some modder ports the ability to extenquish fire by pissing on it from Postal 2.
No additional equipment needed, no perk requirement, all natural.
Alternatively, 6 players can circle a Fleshpound and piss on him till he gets mad and pounds them into oblivion.
How would you use the extinguisher on yourself then?

it's not that bad an idea imo. it could be used to help shorten the blinding effect of the husk fireballs. or you could extinguish an accidentally flamed scrake or fp before they rage. also sometimes the fb has little choice but to spam. theres nothing i hate more in this game than a flame-spammer, but sometimes it needs to be done. it'd be nice to be able to put out the flames when you've used too much.
Nah I've always liked the idea of a extinguisher in KF for the whole team based thing. Extinguishing players on fire from husks would be a useful tool when 3 or 4 people are hit at once.
