Spitfire is a flamethrower in Wasteland 3.

Description

More of a flame 'rifle' than a thrower, it uses individual gobs of flame to melt foes down.

Characteristics

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

Because this weapon doesn't have a cone angle, all modifiers to it are ignored, including Extended choke's cone angle penalty.

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

Toxic Linkage or Crippling Linkage or Razor Linkage mods can almost double this weapon's damage, giving the weapon 17 - 20 x4 (68 - 80) damage per attack.

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