This thing has more problems than what AH addressed about it in the 60-day update. Like, besides re-reverting the particle mechanics to Escalation of Freedom, it needs buffs to ammo consumption, handling, and fire dot damage needs to actually be useful. Hell, there probably need to be multiple fire status effects besides regular burning and Napalm burning, make the Cookout and Breaker Incendiary inflict its current burning status while making the flamethrower burning something actually useful like inflicting slow.
