How to unlock the Flamer in Warhammer 40k Darktide – Flamer Guide

All the weapons in Warhammer 40k Darktide are iconic in their own right, but Flamer has its own unique status in the universe. It provides the means of dispatching many foes quickly and brutally. A weapon unlike any other because it has an area of effect, the Flamer doesn't take a skillful shooter to provide effective crowd control.

Using the Flamer may not be as straightforward as it looks. Like many other weapons in Darktide, the Flamer has two firing modes. When you fire it from the hip, it emits limited bursts of flame that are good for taking out small groups of enemies. However, if you aim down sights, the weapon shoots in fully automatic mode. This mode is useful when dealing with the horde as they spawn.
