Plasma Thrower
The Plasma Thrower is a weapon in Red Faction: Armageddon. It was originally a pre-order weapon but also available via DLC.
Description
The Red Faction militia designed this weapon during the descent into the depths of Mars after Armageddon. Though still in experimental stages, Darius Mason utilized its plasma arcs to help level a number of alien nests in 2225
The Plasma Thrower is essentially a flamethrower, ideal for incinerating targets. However, the weapon has very limited range, requiring you to get close to your intended target to inflict damage. For this reason, avoid using it against enemies with strong melee strikes, like Berserkers or Behemoths. Instead, focus on igniting swarms of Creepers gathered around your ankles. The Plasma Thrower is also a great way to destroy pods - one short burst is enough to set a pod ablaze, causing it to burst.
