− | + | It's quite situational for a trap, since it doesn't deal much burn damage on its own, but can set objects and raiders on fire. It deals 10 damage only, plus the damage the flames deal to the burning pawn. This usually amounts to 16 - 25 damage, compared to 50 for an explosive [[IED trap]]. <br> | |
− | IED | + | This trap does have an advantage over the regular IED trap, being that it triggers instantly, dousing the nearby area in flaming liquid. It can be used to reliably catch and disrupt faster enemies. |
− | They | + | The flames can prove useful in some situations. |
+ | * Pawns on fire will move erratically in an attempt to put out the fires. They won't fight back during this time, allowing you to engage them with less risk of being hurt. | ||
+ | * It can be used to create an automatic temperature trap to cook enemies alive. This is useful for baiting [[infestation]]s. | ||
+ | * Raiders are usually poorly protected against heat (though sometimes you will see someone with good heat protection). This trap may prove useful against enemies well-protected against blunt or sharp damage, or shielded enemies, especially when the flames can penetrate [[shield belt]]s. | ||
− | + | When triggered the damage is dealt as burn damage, which may strike any body part. The actual damage inflicted varies, since it usually deals more secondary damage by setting the pawn on fire. Overall, the damage dealt is higher than the initial explosion damage. Colonists and friendlies are aware of placed traps and will walk around them, but only if another short route is available. Pawns will not be able to avoid traps placed in a long continuous line, or in choke points like a narrow hallway. A trap is less likely to be triggered by a colonist or friendly (0.4% chance). | |
