Summary

Daniel tests the FLAM-66 Torcher, a 250-damage, medium-armor-penetrating incendiary primary costing roughly 40 medals in Freedom’s Flame. Against Terminids, it damages crowds and Brood Commanders but reloads slowly, lacks stagger, self-ignites, runs out of ammo, and permits swarming. Against Automatons, it performs poorly against ranged enemies and Hulks, cannot kill them quickly, exhausts ammunition, and repeatedly gets Daniel killed.

Insight

The advertised damage fails to overcome weak crowd control, slow reloads, limited ammunition, and poor matchup versatility.
