The Flare Gun is a secondary weapon for the Arsonist. It is a team-colored flare gun with a dark grey handle.
As the name suggests, it fires a fast-moving projectile Flare that will ignite enemies upon a hit, with the added bonus of dealing critical hits against players that were already on fire.
This weapon shares an attribute that it reloads while it is holstered/not active with the Syringe Crossbow and the Detonator.

Tips[]
- This is an efficient tool for medium range combat as, along with the Detonator, it has a very high range, travelling effectively infinitely assuming it doesn't make any collisions. It also makes for a very effective combo tool, allowing an Arsonist to quickly deal high amounts of damage within their Flamethrower's range.
- Since this is one of Arsonist's projectile weapons, learning to account for distance and aiming accordingly when using this at long range is key for securing kills.
- As the weapon does not need to be manually reloaded while holstered, running out of ammo is less of an issue compared to other secondary options; the Arsonist can immediately start firing as soon as more ammo is found without needing to load the shot.
- The Flare Gun pairs extremely well with the Degreaser and the Thousand Degree Axe. Using these weapons to their fullest potential can net hundreds and hundreds of points of damage.
