It's the flamer, but for a more aggressive playstyle:

  • significantly shorter burn time except on eggs and biomass
  • higher base damage
  • damage starts at 50% and ramps up to full over the first second of sustained fire. ramps down at the same speed while not firing.
  • no projectile travel time
  • shorter maximum range
  • instead of extinguisher alt fire it has tf2 pyro's airblast (we have friendly fire, so greatly reduced push on friendlies but it still does move them a little)

While Pulse Rifle's pushing altfire only applies a tiny bit of force to Tarnor's near-indestructible rocks (still enough to possibly get them lift a marine), Plasma Thrower's seem to disregard their weight and push them with the same force as small gray barrels.

Nulling the current magazine with altfire sometimes causes the auto-reload to be delayed by altfire's cooldown, and at other times the reload is correctly initiated right away. [Edit] Same with Ricochet Rifle.
