While many know about the great amount of damage the Flamethrower can inflict on enemies, it works differently than other weapons in the title.

The Flamethrower deals damage over time, also known as DOT. When applied, the DOT buff will inflict 9% damage to max health per second. However, players must be careful while reapplying the buff as it doesn't get stacked and resets the timer. They must wait for the buff timer to run out and then attack again to get optimal damage.

The Flamethrower can cause a minimum damage of 12 that goes up to a maximum of 100. Most of the dinos in Ark Survival Ascended have an HP of over 1000, allowing the weapon to deal maximum damage. You can also use it to destroy various structures by burning them down.

When you use a Flamethrower on a spiked wall, it can deal damage to players or creatures on the other side.
