The '''Flamethrower''' kit is featured in the official ''[[Battlefield Vietnam World War II Mod|World War II Mod]]'' for ''[[Battlefield Vietnam]]''. Unlike other kits, it can only be taken from its designated spawn point, and exists solely to allow the player character's third person model to change to include the flamethrower tank.

One kit spawns at every control point on every map, and they always spawn inside a building.

The '''Flame Trooper''' is an [[Battle Pickup#Elite kits|Elite Kit]] featured in ''[[Battlefield 1]]''.<ref>[https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/battlefield-1-elite-classes Break Through Enemy Lines with Elite Classes in Battlefield 1]</ref>

===Singleplayer===
Flame Troopers are the most common elite soldiers in Singleplayer. They appear on every level except [[Friends In High Places]]. They have higher health than standard enemies, but unlike in multiplayer, can be taken down more quickly if the fuel container on their back is targeted - gunfire can rupture the tank, which explodes, killing anyone nearby.

[[Imperial German Army|German]] Flame Troopers appear in the opening chapter of the campaign, [[Storm of Steel]]. One German trooper appears in [[Through Mud and Blood]] and is seen in the village, while searching for spare plugs for [[Mark V Landship#Through Mud and Blood|Black Bess]].

Two [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] Flame Troopers appear in [[The Runner]], in Fort Nöbet. Another two Turkish troopers appear in the occupied village in [[Nothing Is Written]].

The largest number of Flame Troopers appear in [[Avanti Savoia!]]. About 10 [[Austro-Hungarian Empire|Austro-Hungarian]] flamethrower soldiers are seen supporting their infantry while defending [[Monte Grappa]] from [[Royal Italian Army|Italian]] offensive.

===Multiplayer===
The Flame Trooper kit is obtained via a wooden crate found in fixed locations on certain maps, similar to [[Battle Pickup|Battle Pickups]] from ''[[Battlefield 4]]'' and ''[[Battlefield Hardline]]''.

The kit is focused on attacking enemy infantry and fortified positions through the use of one of the most notorious weapons of the conflict - the [[Wex]] infantry-portable flamethrower. The user is also equipped with 3 [[Incendiary Grenade#Battlefield 1|incendiary grenades]], and most importantly, a fire-retardant suit and a permanently equipped [[Gas Mask#Battlefield 1|gas mask]], which completely protects from incendiary and [[Gas Grenade#Battlefield 1|gas granades]], significantly reduces damage from explosives and offers [[Sentry|sentry]]-like armor all around the body, reducing received gunfire damage by around 83%, at expense of limiting the wearer's mobility and vision.

The primary weapon, while deadly at close range, leaves the operator vulnerable to attack from afar. It can also kill the user if it is activated too close to a wall or fired at the user's feet. Players are also vulnerable to [[Takedown#Battlefield 1|takedowns]] from behind, a successful [[Bayonet Charge#Battlefield 1|bayonet charge]], and other situations that would normally cause death, such as [[Roadkill|roadkills]] and falls.

In the maps that don't have the [[Behemoth]] will offer a selection of [[Battle Pickup#Elite kits|elite kits]]—including the Flame Trooper kit—instead.

==Battlefield V==
'''Flame Troopers''' are an enemy type featured in the singleplayer of ''[[Battlefield V]]'' and [[Combined Arms]]. [[Wehrmacht#Battlefield V|German]] Flame Troopers can be seen in the War Stories [[Nordlys]], [[Under No Flag]] and [[Tirailleur]], Their flamethrowers appear to be [[Wex]] flamethrowers with an [[M2 Flamethrower/Battlefield V|M2 Flamethrower]] fuel tank. They can be killed by [[Bayonet Charge#Battlefield V|bayonet charge]]. Once killed, their flamethrowers cannot be picked up by the player.

==Trivia==
===Battlefield Vietnam===
*In <code>LexiconAll.dat</code> there are strings <code>OLD_RESPAWN_ASSAULT_US_ALT</code> and <code>OLD_RESPAWN_ASSAULT_JAP_ALT</code>, both of which are localized to "FLAME THROWER-GRENADES-BINOCULARS". This suggests that the Flamethrower could have been intended as the second [[Assault/Vietnam#WW2 Mod|Assault]] loadout, which currently contains a semi-automatic rifle.
*The Flamethrower kit has no icon, and on the scoreboard, players with Flamethrower kits are shown with the icon of the kit that they had before picking up the current kit.
*Due to a bug with [[Battlefield Vietnam patches#Patch 1.2|patch 1.2]], if the World War II Mod is installed after the patch, the Flamethrower kits will not appear on singleplayer maps. The patch notes recommended installing the World War II Mod before patch 1.2, or reinstalling patch 1.2 after the World War II Mod is installed. However, the latter does not actually work as the installer does not allow installing the patch onto an equal or higher version.

===Battlefield 1===
*A bug currently allows the Flame Trooper to take damage from their own [[Wex]] (and possibly other sources of flame) after exiting a vehicle.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vel72FRbBA BF1 Flametrooper Glitch (by ThatOneDude572)] - video of Flame Trooper taking damage after exiting a horse</ref>
