Nitro Thrower is a flamethrower in Wasteland 3.

Description

Based around flamethrower technology, this weapon instead sprays jets of supercooled chemical vapors.

Characteristics

This weapon has no critical strike associated with it, so strike rate is irrelevant.

Despite preinstalled Cold damage, it is possible to convert this weapon to other damage types (Fire, Energy or Explosive) by using the appropriate damage type conversion mods. This won't add a second damage type but replace the originally installed Cold damage.

Damage can be increased from various bonuses. Also Cold damage provide +99 Armor penetration, which negates target's armor completely.
