📋 About This Mod
Originally developed for military use before the Great War, the M2 flamethrower was one of Poseidon Energy's more controversial products. When the military phased them out in favor of heavier models, many were sold off to private security firms and civilian buyers looking for the ultimate pest control tool. In the decades after the bombs fell, most were lost to time or ruined by improper maintenance - but a handful still remain operational in the hands of those ruthless enough to wield them.
These days, you'll mostly find M2 units in the possession of Gunner assault teams, who use them to flush enemies out of fortified positions. Among the Raiders of the Commonwealth, an operational M2 flamethrower is both a weapon and a status symbol. Most gangs can only dream of acquiring one - the few that do become instantly feared. The Forged in particular prize these weapons, seeing their fire as a purification ritual.
The weapon can be crafted at the Chemistry Station under "M2 Flamethrower". (or Help M2 4 weap)
It is an heavy weapon so it will benefit from the Heavy Gunner perk.
The weapon comes with a backpack/tanks. There is a small script equipping the tanks to the player when drawing the weapon (only affect the player).
Power armor animations are far from perfect but it's playable.
I've tried my best to balance the weapon but with the right perks it will be stronger than the vanilla flamer.
Adds 3 new enemies to the game (optional) :
Gunner Cleaners (elite heavy units in Gunners squads)
Raider Pyros (deranged flame-wielding raiders)
Hans (legendary Forged pyro with unique loot)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 5,356 endorsements and 396k downloads.
- Recently updated (July 2025) so it's actively maintained.
- Custom animations make it feel like a proper new weapon, not a reskin.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds one weapon—if you want a full arsenal, this won't cover it.
- Heavy weapons are niche; not ideal for stealth or light builds.
For Fallout 4 players who want a classic flamethrower with polish and lore-friendly integration. Skip if you're looking for a weapon pack or don't use heavy weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your leveled list mods—load order can affect where the M2 spawns.
- Heavy weapon perks (like Heavy Gunner) will boost its damage, so plan your build accordingly.
- If you use a mod that overhauls weapon animations, test for conflicts.
