Flamethrower/FC3

The Flamethrower appears in Far Cry 3; this time, it takes the form of a man-portable self-contained terror weapon.
The weapon can be obtained after completing 5 Radio Towers, or by completing the mission Kick the Hornet's Nest.
Like the Far Cry 2 counterpart, the Flamethrower in Far Cry 3 is also very effective as an area-denial weapon. Unlike the Far Cry 2 variant, it now has a visible ammunition gauge on the HUD.
The flamethrower is an incredibly cost-effective weapon, with all enemy types except Heavy Gunners only needing a very short tap of the trigger to set them on fire and kill them almost instantly. With careful use, Jason can kill over a dozen soldiers without having to use up a fuel tank, even more so if he has the extended fuel tank attachment in use. This is helpful if the player is running low on cash and needs to save money, as the flamethrower has a very high ratio of kills-to-cost for ammo. Trying to kill a Heavy Gunner of either type with the flamethrower is not reccomended, as it will take over an entire fuel tank of either type to set them on fire, and they will continue to ignore the flames and keep shooting at Jason for quite a while until they finally succumb to the flames.

==Trivia==
*As with the Far Cry 2 appearance, the Far Cry 3 variant appears to be another modified variant of the Soviet LPO-50.2018 August 29, IMFDB: Far Cry 3 - LPO-50 Flamethrower. Retrieved 2018 December 1.
**The updated fuel tank, however, appears to be based on a World War 2 German gas mask canister.
*In Far Cry 3, it is useful for guerilla hit-and-run tactics; this weapon ignites enemies, sending them into a panic as they burn to death.
*Another useful application is to hunt animals. As the targeted animal starts to burn, it will die quickly because it cannot put out the fire.
**However, fire can spread quickly and as a result the Flamethrower must be used carefully to avoid damaging yourself or allies in the vicinity.
*The Flamethrower can be upgraded with an extended tank, doubling the capacity of the fuel tank, and in turn doubling the amount of fire that can be applied to a situation.
**However, even with the high capacity tank, the Flamethrower still burns through fuel quickly, making the sling upgrades necessary for continued usage.
*It is used to burn the Pirates' marijuana farms in the campaign in order to bring Hoyt Volker to the North Island.
*Unlike the flamethrower from Far Cry 2, the flamethrower in Far Cry 3 has a shorter barrel which can cause fires to be set prematurely if the player misses their target in multiplayer.
*They will be carried by Privateer Heavy Flamers.
*Contrary to what Willis Huntley says when introducing the weapon however, the LPO-50 flamethrower was made in Russia and not Germany. He is most likely referring to the fact that the modern flamethrower was actually invented in Germany and was first used by the German military during World War I.
*Interestingly enough, Privateer Heavy Flamers are not immune to flamethrowers, and thus Jason can kill them with their own weapon, in an ironic twist of fate. This is a bug and was later fixed for future titles.
