The Flamethrower in the Roblox game Primal Pursuit is a premium weapon tailored for aggressive, close-quarters survivor play. Operating on a rapid 0.2-second fire rate with a 50-round capacity, it projects sustained flame particles that apply residual burn damage to pursuing dinosaurs.
Survivors can purchase the Flamethrower directly as a standalone limited gamepass for 699 Robux or obtain it as part of the limited Lava Bundle for 2,449 Robux. Because its reach is strictly limited compared to standard firearms, effective use depends heavily on closing the distance safely using durable or high-utility vehicles.
Flamethrower Stats and In-Game Performance
Community documentation and player tests agree on the weapon's core firing metrics, though reported damage totals vary across different measurement methods and game updates.
| Metric | Recorded Value | Source Attribution |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Rate | 0.2 seconds | Official Primal Pursuit Wiki / Player Weapon Tier Review |
| Magazine Capacity | 50 ammo | Official Primal Pursuit Wiki / Player Weapon Tier Review |
| Base Damage (On Foot) | 39 per tick | In-game tier list breakdown |
| In-Vehicle Damage | 19 per tick | In-game tier list breakdown |
| Listed DPS | 105 (Wiki) / 195 (Community test) | Official Primal Pursuit Wiki vs. Player Review calculation |
| Range Profile | Limited / Short-range flame spray | Roblox gamepass description & Official Wiki |
| Standalone Price | 699 Robux | Official Roblox gamepass store |
The discrepancy in damage calculations stems from how community testers measure particle tick damage versus the wiki's recorded base DPS of 105. In a dedicated weapon breakdown, player analysis logged 39 damage per hit on foot and 19 per hit when firing out of a vehicle seat, producing up to 195 raw DPS across consecutive hits. While total damage output ranks among the highest in the game, the weapon suffers a 50% damage reduction when fired from inside a vehicle.
How to Get the Flamethrower in Primal Pursuit
The Flamethrower is classified as a limited-tier Robux item in Primal Pursuit. Survivors have two official acquisition routes in the Roblox store:
- Individual Gamepass: The standalone
[LIMITED] Flamethrowerpass costs 699 Robux. - The Lava Bundle: The complete
[LIMITED] Lava Bundlecosts 2,449 Robux and includes three items:- Flamethrower weapon
- Monster Truck vehicle (normally 599 Robux individually)
- Lava Giga dinosaur skin (normally 1,599 Robux individually)
Purchasing the bundle provides a combined discount compared to acquiring the vehicle, dinosaur skin, and weapon separately (which total 2,897 Robux individually). The game's store listings note that the Lava Bundle and its featured items are slated to go off-sale in future cycles.
Combat Mechanics and Range Restrictions
Unlike conventional ballistic weapons like the Railgun or Plasma Rifle, the Flamethrower does not fire high-velocity long-range projectiles.
- Restricted Engagement Distance: According to the official wiki, the Flamethrower is the only weapon in Primal Pursuit featuring a strict maximum range ceiling. Targets beyond the reach of its flame particle cone take zero damage.
- Residual Burn Effect: Official pass data notes that striking a dinosaur triggers residual burn damage over time, with wiki data specifying that burn ticks process every second.
- Aggressive Positioning: Because you cannot snipe dinosaurs from across the map, surviving a round requires driving alongside or cutting across the dinosaur's path to empty the 50-round tank into its hit box.
Recommended Vehicle Pairings
Because the Flamethrower requires proximity to deal damage, survivor survivability relies on the vehicle chosen to escort the gunner. Player testing and wiki documentation highlight several combinations:
Monster Truck (Lava Bundle Synergy)
Included in the Lava Bundle alongside the Flamethrower, the Monster Truck offers 650 health, 67 base speed, 4 seats, and 65 fuel. Its built-in turbo-charge ability allows survivors to hit high burst speeds to break away after burning a dinosaur up close. However, player testing demonstrates that running the turbo ability depletes fuel rapidly, and the truck cannot drift, requiring careful navigational planning around obstacles.
Humvee (Defensive Tank Role)
The Humvee costs 999 Robux and offers 750 health (recorded as 700 in some player tests) across 5 seats. While slow with a top speed of 30 and no drifting handbrakes, its large health pool allows a crew to trade hits with aggressive predators while passengers empty continuous Flamethrower bursts from secondary seats.
Lunar Rover (Mobility Alternative)
For solo survivors or duos, community testers frequently highlight the Lunar Rover (899 Robux) for its 67 speed, 440 health, rapid acceleration, and agile reverse handling. This mobility allows drivers to execute quick drive-bys, lay down fire, and turn sharply before dinosaurs can land melee strikes.
