How to Get the Flamethrower: Stats, Materials, and Fuel

The Flame Thrower is the Level 52 ranged weapon that sprays a continuous cone of fire and sets whatever it touches burning. This guide covers its full stat card, the exact crafting cost down to raw ore, every place the four Flamethrower Schematics drop with real percentages, and how much it costs to keep the tank full.

Flamethrower Stats and Overview

The Flame Thrower carries 636 attack, a 100-unit fuel tank, and 6,000 durability at Common rarity. That 100-round magazine is the largest in the game — only the Gatling Gun and Laser Gatling Gun match it, and both of those are heavier. The catch is weight: at 45 it is the 18th heaviest of the 342 weapons in the game, so you are giving up a big chunk of your carry limit to bring it along. Its listed attack is a sustained-burn figure, not a per-bullet one, so don't line it up against a sniper rifle's number and expect the comparison to mean anything.

Stat	Value
Weapon	Flame Thrower
Category	Ranged
Rarity	Common (base version)
Attack	636
Magazine	100
Durability	6,000
Weight	45
Ammo	Flamethrower Fuel
Unlock level	Lv. 52

Sell value	172,750 Gold

The 636 attack above is the Common version's number, which is the one you get from the base Technology unlock. Higher-rarity Flame Throwers come from schematics and hit harder, but rarity scaling isn't a fixed multiplier in Palworld — some weapon families gain 75% going from Common to Legendary and others only 40% — so treat 636 as your floor and the schematic versions as a straight upgrade over it rather than a number you can predict.

How to Unlock the Flamethrower

The Flamethrower is a Technology unlock, not a drop, so nobody can hand you one early. You need character Level 52 and 5 Technology Points on the Palworld Technology tree, and then a Weapon Assembly Line II in your base to actually build it. The fuel sits on the same rung — Lv. 52 for 1 Technology Point — which is the sane order to buy them in, because a Flamethrower with no fuel is 45 weight of dead inventory. If you're rationing points at that level, note that 5 is the standard cost for a top-tier ranged weapon, so this isn't an unusually expensive pick.

Flamethrower Crafting Materials

Four materials go into one Flame Thrower, and three of them are crafted items rather than things you pick up. Pal Metal Ingot is the bulk of the bill at 40, and it's the one worth stockpiling ahead of time since almost everything at this tech tier wants it. The 30 Flame Organ is the only part that comes off Pals, and the 13 Cryogenic Coolant is the awkward one — it needs Ice Organ, which means killing cold-element Pals for a fire weapon.

Material	Qty	Where it comes from
Pal Metal Ingot	40	Smelted from 4 Ore + 1 Pure Quartz + 2 Paldium Fragment each
Plasteel	30	Electric Furnace, 2 Crude Oil + 5 Ore each
Flame Organ	30	Dropped by 37 different Fire Pals
Cryogenic Coolant	13	Production Assembly Line, 1 Aquatic Pal Fluids + 1 Ice Organ each

Total Raw Materials for One Flamethrower

Break every sub-craft down and one Flame Thrower actually costs the pile below. 310 Ore is the headline number and the thing that will stall you — that's several full mining runs, so set a base on an ore-heavy node cluster before you start. The 60 Crude Oil is the second bottleneck, and it's worth noting the 185 oil field nodes on the map all restock, so this is a route problem rather than a rare-drop problem.

Raw material	Total needed
Ore	310
Paldium Fragment	80
Crude Oil	60
Pure Quartz	40
Flame Organ	30
Aquatic Pal Fluids	13
Ice Organ	13

Flamethrower Fuel: How to Craft and Farm It

Flamethrower Fuel is the only ammo the Flame Thrower takes, and it's the expensive part of owning one. A craft costs 2 Crude Oil and 1 Refined Ingot and yields 10 units, so topping off the full 100-unit tank runs you 20 Crude Oil and 10 Refined Ingot every time. Buying it instead costs 280 Gold a unit from the Caravan Shop — that's 28,000 Gold for one tank, which makes crafting it the obvious call unless you're mid-fight and desperate. Each unit weighs 0.01 and stacks to 9,999, so carrying spare fuel costs you almost nothing once it's made.

Source	Amount	Chance
Craft at Weapon Assembly Line II	10 per craft	2 Crude Oil + 1 Refined Ingot
Caravan Shop	Unlimited	280 Gold each
Oil rig crates (56 pins)	100–200	14.29%
Junk hauls while fishing in the Sakurajima	5–10	25.0%

The oil rig crates are the standout here — a single hit rolls 100 to 200 fuel, which is one to two full tanks from one container, and there are 56 crate pins to sweep. If you're already running the rigs for schematics, you'll come home with more fuel than you can burn. Junk hauls while fishing in the Sakurajima proc more often at 25% but pay 5–10, so treat those as passive top-ups rather than a farm.

Flamethrower Schematics and Where They Drop

There are four Flamethrower Schematics, and each one unlocks a higher-rarity build of the same weapon: Schematic 1 for Uncommon, 2 for Rare, 3 for Epic, and 4 for the Legendary Flame Thrower. Every schematic in the game shares one rolled-scroll icon in your inventory, so read the name and the border colour rather than the picture when you loot one. All four are pure loot — no Technology unlock gets you there, so the only way to chase them is to farm the containers they roll in.

Read that table by column, not by row, because the best farm changes at every tier. For Schematic 1 the Feybreak Cavern chests are far and away the best at 19.23% — roughly one in five. For Schematics 2 and 3 the answer flips to tier 4 treasure map digs at 6.41% and 2.56%, which beat every chest in the game for those two tiers. And for the Legendary Schematic 4, the large oil rig crates lead at 1.47%, with tier 4 digs close behind at 1.03% — everything else is under half a percent. The 201 Feybreak chest pins look tempting because of the sheer count, but per-container they're worse than the Sakurajima chests at every tier.

Merging Schematics Into the Legendary Version

You don't have to wait on that 1.47% roll. Duplicate schematics merge upward at a flat 5-to-1 rate — five Schematic 1s make a Schematic 2, five of those make a Schematic 3, and five of those make the Legendary Schematic 4. Do the multiplication and a Legendary Flame Thrower costs 125 copies of Schematic 1 if you build it purely from the bottom. That sounds brutal until you look at the 19.23% Feybreak Cavern rate, which is the whole reason the merge path is usually faster than chasing the Legendary drop directly. Anything you pick up at tier 2 or 3 along the way cuts that 125 down hard, so never sell a duplicate.

Schematic	Rarity it unlocks	Merge cost	Best drop source
Flamethrower Schematic 1	Uncommon	Drop only	Feybreak Cavern chests, 19.23%
Flamethrower Schematic 2	Rare	5× Schematic 1	Tier 4 treasure map digs, 6.41%
Flamethrower Schematic 3	Epic	5× Schematic 2	Tier 4 treasure map digs, 2.56%
Flamethrower Schematic 4	Legendary	5× Schematic 3	Large oil rig crates, 1.47%

Flamethrower vs the Other Sustained-Fire Guns

Three weapons in Palworld hold a 100-unit magazine and pour damage out continuously, and the Flamethrower is the first one you can build. It unlocks two levels before the Gatling Gun and seven before the Laser Gatling Gun, weighs 5 less than either, and is worth a third of the Gatling Gun's value in Gold. Where it loses is feeding time: its ammo crafts 10 per batch while both Gatling types craft 50, and a unit of fuel costs 280 Gold against 60 for Gatling Gun Ammo. That is the real trade — the Flamethrower is the cheap, early, light option that is expensive to keep firing.

Weapon	Unlock	Attack	Magazine	Durability	Weight	Ammo cost each
Flame Thrower	Lv. 52	636	100	6,000	45	280 Gold
Gatling Gun	Lv. 54	375	100	6,000	50	60 Gold
Laser Gatling Gun	Lv. 59	530	100	8,000	50	110 Gold

Those attack figures are all Common-rarity base values for weapons in the same sustained-fire class, so they're a fair comparison against each other — but the Flamethrower's flame tick and a Gatling's bullet don't land on the same schedule, so the 636 doesn't mean it flatly out-damages the other two. What it does mean is that at Level 52, with no Legendary schematic in your pocket, nothing else in this class is available to you yet.

Best Pals to Farm Flame Organ

Thirty Flame Organ per Flamethrower, plus more for every fire craft at this tier, means you want a dedicated route. All 37 Fire Pals that carry it drop it at a 100% rate, so this is purely a question of how many each one gives and how fast you can find them. Blazamut is the flat best at a guaranteed 10 per kill — no roll, no variance — which clears a third of the recipe in three kills. Suzaku rolls 5–10 and is the better option if you're already flying that region, while Ragnahawk at 5–7 is the most convenient of the group because you likely already have one as a mount.

Pal	Flame Organ per kill	Drop rate
Blazamut	10	100%
Suzaku	5–10	100%
Bushi Noct	4–8	100%
Ragnahawk	5–7	100%
Reptyro	5–7	100%
Pyrin	4–5	100%
