Oddworld Wiki

Hi! Welcome to the Oddworld Fandom Wiki!

Recently OWI has began to publish posts on their Twitter citing articles from this site, along with content that heavily implies that the wiki is in some way official or sanctioned.

We'd like to dispel this rumor now: The Fandom Wiki is 100% community run and has in fact been long plagued by information of dubious validity, despite the valiant efforts of its editors (whose job we really appreciate, keep up the good fight!). For this reason, we'd like to ask our readers to take everything here with a great chunk of salt, especially when it comes to content without valid citations.

If you wish to fight against misinformation, you're encouraged to contribute high-quality content to the wiki—that is content that's propped up by a trusted source (examples include: Oddworld.com, Magog on the March, or The Oddworld Library) and contain no headcanons, theorizing, or any further content not directly coming from Oddworld Inhabitants.

Thank you for your attention and understanding! Happy reading and editing!

Well done. You've taken something that was designed to extinguish fires, tinkered with it and made it into something that makes fire at a prodigious rate. Your momma would be proud.

— Description of the Flamethrower.

The Flamethrower is one of the many craftable items presented in Oddworld: Soulstorm.

Overview[]

The Flamethrower is a weaponized fire extinguisher that has now been made to do its direct opposite. It is the most expensive craftable item in the game; consisting of a Fire Extinguisher, Soulstorm Brew, a Battery, Lighter, Wiring Kit and a Steel Hose.

Due to the fact that it is by far the most complicated crafting item in the game and is not introduced until the Necrum level: the Mines. The Flamethrower makes up more in the fact that it is most powerful and lethal weapon Abe can carry without the possession of Sligs.

Nevertheless, Flamethrower Sligs will appear later in the game. Their flamethrowers have a shorter range than Abe's, however, this is exchanged for Flamethrower Sligs being always 'ready' whereas the homemade one needs several materials to be created.

Trivia[]

  • There are only three levels throughout the whole game where the flamethrower is craft-able, making it the rarest weapon too.
