FLAM-40 Incinerator

A compact flamethrower capable of projecting Napalm flames several meters. Enemies hit with this weapon will start to burn. The flames can ignite fellow Helldivers as well.

Unlock Requirement
The FLAM-40 is granted to the player as a reward for completing all the missions on its associated planet (typically a low level planet - difficulty 1 to 3).

Weapon Stats

 * The weapon comes with 3 tanks of Incinerator fuel, and can carry a maximum of 6. Each tank holds 110 units of flamer fuel (150 when upgraded to Mk2). A 'low ammunition' warning sound will play when the weapon is fired with less than 30 units of fuel remaining in the tank (40 if upgraded to Mk2).


 * As this weapon does not use projectiles, it cannot retain a round in the chamber. Reload time is always 3 seconds, whether the tank is emptied or not.
 * Unlike some bulkier support weapons, the Incinerator can be reloaded on the move.

Gameplay Tips

 * Being set on fire can be mitigated by quickly going prone.


 * The Incinerator is capable of damaging heavily armoured enemies (such as the Bug Tank or Impaler) that would normally require anti-tank weapons or stratagems to defeat. They can be ignited if their orange-coloured weak spots are hit. Bug Behemoths, Cyborg Warlords and IFVs cannot be set on fire by the Incinerator.
