FLAM-24 Pyro

Exchanges your standard Helldiver sidearm with a compact flamer. Though as powerful as the FLAM-40, it has shorter range and very limited ammunition. The upside is that you are always carrying a flamer for when you need to turn up the heat. Part of the Pistol equipment kit.

Sidearms cannot be used while prone. However, the player can draw it automatically when mortally wounded by using the aiming controls (right analog stick or mouse). Keep in mind that it needs to be manually switched back to the primary weapon after dropping whatever the player was carrying or after recovering from mortal wounds.

Helldivers start with 3 magazines of Pyro ammunition, and can carry up to 6. Each magazine contains 50 units of flamer fuel; in comparison, the FLAM-40 Incinerator has a much greater base magazine size of 110 (or 150 when upgraded). If 10 or less units of fuel remain in the magazine when the weapon is fired, the 'low ammunition' warning sound will play.

Reload time is always 2 seconds, whether the magazine has been fully emptied or not. No rounds can be chambered as it is not a projectile-based weapon.
