Flamethrower alt button!

[poosh]

Fire extinguisher could fit in Medic's inventory, because Medic is the one who should heal and protect teammates.

as much as i like the idea of being able to put out zeds with the alt fire flamer, i think it'll make it a bit too easier. i personally think it should be usable on teammates only, to put them out, like in TF2, where the pyro is able to put out burning teammates and save them from burning damage. much more faster and effective then the syringe.

Oh I totally agree putting out burning zeds would be too easy. Was probably not the best suggestion, but I just hate the fire. Even in the hands of a competent firebug. (no offense, I know a lot of you guys love the bug)

nononononono. going the wrong way here entirely, alt fire should shoot out a huge ball of gas that IGNITES more things. or at least when aimed at something already burning. i just like remembering how the flamethrower guys were in Red Alert

This idea makes no sense. Gas is flammable. Spraying lots of it on your burning teammate is NOT a good idea.

It'd make more sense if you could set your allies on fire with the flame thrower, to have an extinguisher. It's the flamers alt-fire in Alien Swarm.

If you die as a FB you should go up in a big ball o flames

If you shot gas, then wouldn't it only be good for close range? Because after a few metres the gas would dissipate and not have any effect.

i dont think the alt-fire extinguisher is necessary, unless the primary fire actually made areas of fire (like my napalm sprayer) that lasted and burned while zeds walked through it, so then you can make areas of damage/burning, then if you have to get through them (or your teammates dont want to get burned) then you can extinguish those areas.

Now that would be a great idea for secondary firebug weapon. Altho that would be up to modders to figure it out I suppose.
