The Flamethrower is one of the Weapons in ARK: Survival Evolved, being introduced Scorched Earth expansion pack. It is unlocked at Level 65 for 25 Engram Points.

With a high rate of fire, a massive magazine size of 200, and the ability to set targets on fire, the Flamethrower is a costly but very efficient way at taking down clusters of enemies. It is an excellent weapon for locations such as the Snow Cave on The Island, where mounts cannot enter. The Flamethrower is also an excellent tool for taming  Phoenixes.

The Flamethrower has 40 Durability.

Notes

  • According to the ARK Dev Kit, the damage on the DOT (Damage over time) buff applied is 9% damage to max health per second, for 6 seconds. Reapplying the buff will delete the old stack, and reset the buff timer, resulting in no benefit to applying the buff prior to the previous stack expiring. The Minimum damage is 12, and the maximum damage is 100. As most targets (dinosaurs) have over 1000 HP, this means it will most often do exactly 100 damage to tames, while doing variable damage to players.
  • Using the Flamethrower on Spike Walls, currently, still damage the player.
  • No, creatures killed with the Flamethrower do not give  Cooked Meat.
  • The Flamethrower can quickly clear out bushes and most vegetation, making it useful in the Jungle Dungeon on Ragnarok, though using the weapon like this is not recommended as it will waste ammo.
