Description:

This mod adds a brand new (and somewhat rare) primary Amalgamation specialization that lets characters use chemthrowers and canisters, with a focus on purging everything with glorious fire. (and fire alone, use my Desolator spec for the other throwers!)

What is it?

A companion piece to my other chemthrower spec, the Desolator, the Salamander is a fire-spitting heavyweight with an unique mechanic; the Salamander’s flames reach out much further, though with a significantly narrower cone.

To incentivize the use of fire-based chemthrowers, any damage done with them is boosted by one point, or two when at plasma tier. This bonus is lost if using another element.

How does it play?

While inflexible with regard to enemy immunities, the Salamander’s extended range allows them to get shots off that no other thrower user can hope to match. Aided by a healthy HP growth (though with limited mobility), Salamanders can take some abuse while setting up for that perfect (and quite literal!) line of fire.

How balanced is it?

It’ll depend on what you’re fighting. If you can find good groups to barbecue the Salamander’s utility is without peer, but picking your fights carefully is critical!

Special thanks:
  • h4ilst0rm and TePª for the original Amalgamation Classes mod.
  • Ketaros, for the excellent sprite pack from which this spec grabs its icon.
  • RustyDios for Chemthrower Addons, and for all the chemthrower-related help and ideas.
  • Tech_Knight_Zero on Twitch for coming up with the spec’s name.
  • Mitzruti for the perk packs and the immolator/chemthrower mod.
  • All the other perk pack people. Wouldn’t be able to do this without them.
