The Flamethrower (火炎放射器 kaenhoushaki?) is a weapon item that Leon Scott Kennedy can find in Resident Evil 2.

Gameplay[]

In a scientist's sleeping quarters, Leon can alternatively use this to burn the plant tentacles blocking the air vent, instead of using the lighter. Like the Spark Shot, ammo is counted as a percentage since it has no spare ammunition to be found elsewhere.

Leon's flamethrower proves particularly useful against Ivies, which infest the West Area of Lab Level B4.

Location[]

It can be found on Level B4 of William Birkin's laboratory in Sleeping Quarters A inside a locker.
