− | The incendiary launcher creates | + | The incendiary launcher creates small explosions of [[fire]]. Fire causes pawns to take damage over time and run around helplessly. It has a forced miss radius of 1.9 tiles. |
+ | |||
+ | Of nonconsumable player weapons, the incediary launcher has the 2nd highest warmup/cooldown cycle, only beaten by the [[pila]]. It's also a weak weapon in general, as only the [[machine pistol]] has a lower damage per shot. Combined with the low accuracy, and the incendiary launcher has the lowest single-target damage output for all player weapons. The main benefit of an incendiary launcher, as its name suggests, is the fire it creates. | ||

− | + | ==Analysis== | |
+ | The incediary launcher is undoubtably a support weapon. It is one of the few weapons that start fires - pawns that are on fire will stop attacking and run wildly. Launchers are suitable for low-skill colonists; due to the forced miss radius, Shooting skill matters little. [[Trigger-happy]] helps negate much of the lengthy warm-up time, while [[careful shooter]] is purely detrimental to its use. | ||
− | + | [[Wall]]s may block shots that land adjacent to the intended target, but work well against low cover (e.g. [[rock chunk]]s and [[trees]]). Explosives are also generally very inaccurate against moving targets, so try to avoid targeting those if you can. Creating a flammable structure/room and lighting it on fire is a valid crowd control tactic, albiet a costly one. Targets will avoid stepping on fire whenever possible, so try to trap them in. | |
− | + | Fire becomes much less useful as you enter the mid- and lategame. [[Mechanoid]]s are immune to fire, high-tech raiders start to wear more heat resistant apparel, and there'll be too many tribesepople for a single launcher to supress. | |
− | |||
− | + | Because it starts fires, [[rain]] significantly diminishes its utility. Note that the game has a "firewatcher", and will automatically start rain if fires get too out of control. | |
− | + | ===Molotovs=== | |
+ | Compared to [[molotov cocktail]]s, the incendiary launcher sacrifices rate of fire for significantly faster projectiles and a doubled range. This makes launchers better in certain support roles, where colonists can sit back and distract enemies. | ||
− | + | Unilke molotovs, incendiary launchers are affected by weapon [[quality]]. This makes launchers relatively better if you have skilled crafters. | |
