− | + | The incendiary launcher is a moderately-heavy, single-shot weapon with medium effective damage per shot, very long time between shots, moderate range, and moderate effective accuracy. It is currently the only weapon with explosive projectiles that doesn't have a forced miss radius. Its incendiary projectiles will [[fire|ignite]] anything it hits, this is particularly effective for disabling tough [[raider]]s, and also for destroying [[insectoids|insect]] [[hive]]s during [[events#Infestation|infestations]]. Due to its real accuracy, raiders can become very problematic if not dealt with quickly since your colonists will helplessly run out into the open to vulnerable situations and then even burn to death if not rescued quickly enough. | |
− | |||
− | + | The incendiary launcher's accuracy is considered effective due to the fact that its explosion burns the tile it lands on and all adjacent tiles, making up to a 50% chance of hitting the target so long as they aren't moving and are not behind [[wall]]s. As it's hard to miss shots against immobile targets, any shooter will generally fare well, making it a very skill-friendly weapon. Prioritise equipping [[traits#Shooting Accuracy|trigger-happy]] colonists with it to halve its lengthy warmup time. | |
− | + | Dealt damage while initially low 10 hit points, turns out to 16 on average as targets will take damage twice from the fire before extinguishing themselves. | |

− | + | == Acquisition == | |
+ | |||
+ | Incendiary launchers can be manufactured at the [[machining table]] after researching [[research#Machining|machining]], with 75 [[steel]], 4 [[component]]s and {{ticks|22000}} of work. Scavenged from downed invaders. And [[trade|purchased]] from outlander combat suppliers and towns, or from an orbital weapons trader. | ||

− | |||
− | + | The incendiary launcher is a dangerous weapon that's not to be underestimated. It's capable of widespread destruction in dry climates, so enemies armed with it should be dealt with carefully. Tactical use is necessary since it doesn't deal much direct damage. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | The incendiary launcher is significantly more accurate and long-ranged than [[molotov cocktails]]. It is most effective in midgame onwards; even so, it is still more of a niche weapon, for situations such as insect hives or pairing with brawlers. | |
− | + | == Graphs == | |
+ | The following graphs take the incendiary launcher's effective damage and accuracy into account, using a Normal quality weapon fired from a healthy shooter against a single target. | ||
