Ignis

The Ignis is a flamethrower used by Grineer Scorch and Hyekka Masters. The Ignis releases a long reaching continuous spray of flames in a frontal area of effect, making it exceptionally useful for handling large crowds, albeit at the cost of high ammo usage and a fixed range.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals damage.
*The zone of impact or maximum beam range has a spherical blast radius of 3 meters, allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once.
**Can benefit from ().
**Lower range (20 meters vs 27 meters)
==Acquisition==
The Ignis's blueprint can be researched from the Chem Lab in the dojo.
This weapon can be sold for .
==Notes==
*The Ignis' hit detection is composed of two parts:
**A perfectly accurate central beam that reaches up to 20 meters. This beam has a 0.15-meter thickness, unlike other beam weapons whose beams are very narrow.
**A 3-meter spherical radius that appears at the zone of impact or maximum range.
** only affects the beam range, not the beam thickness and the area of effect.
** only affects the area of effect, not the beam thickness and the beam range.
*When combined with other single elements mods, such as , it will no longer deal the original damage, losing its high bonus versus Infested (+50%). Be sure to mod in a secondary element that doesn't utilize , such as .
*As of , the fire rate is affected by mods.
*Shade's can activate even if the Ignis is being fired, so long as the fire key is held down upon Ghost's activation.
*The Ignis' spherical AoE can destroy rockets launched from a Bombard's .
**This only works if the Ignis deals or damage. Building for or will not produce this effect.
*The Ignis can deal headshots and target enemy weakspots.
==Tips==
* and apply damage to the weapon. They do not act like base damage mods, but rather stack with the innate damage of the weapon.
*Adding , , or additional damage makes the Ignis very effective versus Grineer / Corpus / Infested, respectively.
*It is a wise idea to equip a long-ranged weapon in your secondary slot when using the Ignis.
*It is unwise to have Specters equip this gun as they only fire on targets when they are ~10m away from them.
* can also be equipped to the Ignis, causing enemies to deal damage on death to other nearby enemies. This aids in crowd control and quicker elimination of weaker and closely-grouped enemies.
* can also be equipped on the Ignis, greatly increasing the range of its central beam. This will also move the spherical AoE forward by the same distance.
*The radius of the spherical AoE can be increased with .
*Due to its nature of AoE, this weapon is particularly effective against destructible projectiles.
*Adding as a second results in an increase of damage. The reduction of accuracy will cause the beam to slightly waver, which is a negative for most weapons, but is arguably a benefit for the Ignis as the effective AoE spread will widen slightly.
**The loss in accuracy is small enough that the central beam will still land headshots consistently at maximum distance, even with equipped.
*The Ignis is designed to deal with crowds, spreading low damage but hitting all enemies in range, where most other weapons (besides explosive dealing AoE weapons) are single or multi-target. In other words, the larger the crowd, the better the weapon becomes at distributing damage compared to most other weapons.
==Trivia==
*Ignis is Latin for "fire".
*Prior to , the Ignis' appearance was simply a modified .
**Oddly it wasn't just the appearance, as the update that changed the model and reload animation of the Ignis made the Grakata reload as if it was the Ignis.
*The Ignis was first shown in the Devstream 5.
*The volume of fuel the Ignis carries would be impossible in the real world using today's technology, as the duration of continuous fire of the entire magazine lasts far longer than actual flamethrowers. This implies that the fuel used (possibly derived from Detonite) is extremely efficient. 
*The front portion of the barrel heats up through continuous firing of the weapon, visible after roughly 25 units of ammo has been expended.
*Changing the default damage of the Ignis modifies the visual effects of the flame released depending on the new element: damage causes the barrel to emit sparks, damage generates bolts of electricity within the flame, and damage changes the flame into a thick cloud.
**In earlier builds, this change overrode any color customizations to the Ignis' flame color.
