Cleansing Flame is a unique weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics[]

Compared to the standard flamer, Cleansing Flame has superior overall damage and longer range. Its slightly lower base damage is offset by the burn effect that steadily improves based on the user's Energy Weapons skill.

The weapon's modified appearance uses three jet nozzles, three large fuel tanks, and orange-colored cables. The flame jet is blue rather than the usual red, indicating that the flame burns hotter than standard flamers.

Burn effect by skill level[]

0-24 2 damage 6 seconds 12 damage

50-74 6 damage 6 seconds 36 damage
75-99 8 damage 6 seconds 48 damage
100 10 damage 6 seconds 60 damage

Durability[]

Cleansing Flame can shoot a total of about 1495 times using standard fuel, the equivalent of 15 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
