It is a variation of the [[NA4 flamethrower|NA4/Defoliant Projector]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}

|
| The M7057 has a number of nicknames among UNSC forces including '''DP''', '''Toaster''', '''Dragon''', '''Torch''', and '''Flamer'''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} | | {{Quote|It takes a certain kind'a lunatic to use a flamethrower…| Anonymous [[E2-BAG/1/7]] serviceman}} |

| | ==Description== |
| | |
| | The M7057/DP is a standard chemical flamethrower, which projects and ignites a stream of a volatile, semi-liquid fuel. Flamethrowers are cumbersome and relatively difficult to use (psychologically as well as mechanically, especially when the fuel is located on the weapon itself). It appeared in the multiplayer of [[Halo PC]] and [[Halo 3]]. The [[Halo 3]] version of the M7057 varies slightly from its first appearance in Halo PC, with a shorter and wider nozzle (which may mean a wider, deadlier spray). It also poses a threat to vehicles, a full three-second burst being able to destroy a Warthog. |

| The M7057 flamethrower is a standard chemical flamethrower, which projects and ignites a stream of a volatile, semi-liquid adhesive{{Ref/Reuse|PCManual}} known as Pyrosene-V. Like the M6634, the M7057 flamethrower is cumbersome and relatively difficult to tactically use (psychologically as well as mechanically).{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} In its role as a ''defoliant projector'', it is designed to be used to rapidly clear away heavy foliage for in-theater construction projects and to destroy new or persistent growth from emplaced and/or hardened military assets.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} For example, in [[2553]], [[Hala]] was able to use an M7057 unassisted to torch a {{Class|Sahara|heavy prowler}}.{{Ref/Comic|HLW|Issue=2}} Despite being all but obsolete militarily its effectiveness as a psychological weapon is undeniable—unfortunately, the psychological effect is a double-edged sword.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}

| | However, the flamethrower's power comes at a cost: it can only sustain fire for about three seconds, so you'll need to pump the trigger once a burst dries out. The M7057 is in the [[Support Weapons]] category, like the [[Missile Pod]], meaning wielders use the weapon in a third-person perspective and at a slower movement rate. The weapon is resisted by the bubble shield, "wash[ing] over the shield." |

| | Referring to the M7057/DP as a weapon is a bit of a misnomer as the dee pea in its nomenclature indicate that it is a defoliant projector—to be used to rapidly clear away heavy foliage for in-theater construction projects and to destroy new or persistent growth from emplaced and/or hardened military assets. That having been said; despite being all but obsolete militarily, its effectiveness as a psychological weapon is undeniable—unfortunately the psychological effect is a double-edged sword. |
| The weapon was one of many featured in [[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]].

| ==In-game information== | | ==Disadvantages== |
| ===''Halo: Combat Evolved''===
| |
| The flamethrower was first introduced in the ''Halo'' games with the [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|PC release]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', after being cut from the original [[Xbox]] release of the game. As with the other PC port exclusive content (the [[M12A1 Rocket Warthog]] and the {{Pattern|Zasqi|fuel rod gun}}), it is included in the ''Combat Evolved'' multiplayer component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| Due to the weapon's history, it can only be used in [[multiplayer]], and appears as a default spawn on several multiplayer maps. It can be equipped and used in first-person view as with all other weapons in the game, and supports the player throwing grenades with it equipped or using it to [[melee]]. The weapon's range is similar to the shotgun, which is only effective at close-quarters. When fired within range, the flamethrower deals lethal damage to unshielded opponents. Against shielded opponents, it will remove their shields and apply a substantial amount of damage to the opponent's health.
| |
|
| |
|
| Through use of the ''[[Halo Editing Kit]]'' for ''[[Halo Custom Edition]]'' and ''The Master Chief Collection'', [[Flood combat form]]s are able to wield the flamethrower. The only way to observe this is to play start a "Heavy Slayer" game on a map that spawns Combat forms. The Combat form will hold it upwards, making the weapon useless in their hands since the fire will go upwards without hurting anyone in front of the form. The reason why the flamethrower is compatible with Combat forms is because the flamethrower was supposed to appear in the level Keyes, and Bungie programmed Combat forms to be able to carry it in order to grant the player easier accessibility. The player was then to use an acquired flamethrower to burn [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes]]' skull from the [[Proto-Gravemind]] in order to retrieve his neural implants.{{Ref/Book|Id=AoH|AoH|Page=140}}
| | Several things counterbalance the Halo 1 PC Flamethrower's high damage rate. First, it reloads slowly and is subject to overheating. Second, ammunition is often unavailable. And third, the Flamethrower can damage its own user if one walks into the trail of flame left behind by the weapon. This lets the enemy run away while stopping the user from giving chase. |
|
| |
|
| In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the flamethrower shares the same [[:File:Halo-SniperRifle-Reticule.png|reticule]] with the [[Shotgun]] and the [[Sniper Rifle]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the reticule for the flamethrower in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' has been updated to match the flamethrower reticule from ''Halo 3''.
| | If used at a distance, the Flamethrower takes longer to kill an enemy and might not even damage them. Finally, the Flamethrower is very rare. There are only one or two of them per map. Moving also affects the damage put out by the flamethrower. If you move forward while firing, the flame will be more damaging, but when moving backwards, the flame does about the same as an [[assault rifle]]. Therefore, while using this weapon in combat, your movement options are limited. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''===
| | The Halo 3 Flamethrower can only be used in three-second bursts, and must be pumped between shots to increase the pressure of its flammable material. Further, it has much less ammunition than its original counterpart, only carrying nine three-second bursts instead of a 100% charge. As a support weapon, it reduces the wielder's speed. It retains the threat of collateral damage. |
| [[File:Flamingpureform.jpg|thumb|The Flamethrower can easily kill Pure Forms.]]
| |
| After being cut from ''Combat Evolved'', the flamethrower was redesigned for inclusion in ''[[Halo 2]]'' though [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Flamethrower|also cut from that game]]. It once again debuted in ''[[Halo 3]]'', this time as one of the newly-added [[Weapon types#Turret weapons|turrets]] in a similar manner to the [[AIE-486H machine gun|Machine Gun Turret]], [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod|Missile Pod]], and {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}}. Players wielding the weapon move at a slower pace and from a third-person perspective. Moreover, they cannot melee or use any of their [[grenade]]s or [[equipment]]. Unlike the other turret weapons, the flamethrower has no mounted variation, meaning that flamethrower is no longer useful once the fuel has been depleted - however, it operates in a manner similar to energy weapons in that it will overheat if fired for too long. The flamethrower's screen effects are capable of blinding the player in a manner similar to the [[Flare]] equipment.
| |
|
| |
|
| The weapon appears in the [[campaign]] levels [[Floodgate]] and [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], both levels featuring the [[Flood]] as primary enemies. This alludes to the weapon's most useful function - clearing swarms of densely-packed enemies such as [[pod infector]]s. [[Flood pure form]]s will die nearly instantly upon lighting on fire, and any pod infectors that run into the flames are immediately killed. Though still highly effective against [[Flood combat form]]s, they still live for some time while on fire. It can also be used to destroy a pile of Combat Forms, so they won't come back if a Pod infector finds them. It is also very handy to handle [[Flood carrier forms]], as lighting it on fire can cause the Pod infectors not to disperse upon death.
| | ==Influences== |
| | [[Image:Weapon-flamethrower.jpg|thumb|The Flamethrower as seen in Halo 1]] |
| | The Defoliant Projector Flamethrower was inspired by a similar flamethrower from the ''[[Marathon]]'' series. The shark-like decal on it is borrowed from the game as well. In ''Marathon'', however, it is featured on the rocket launcher. The Defoliant Projector's number, 7057, is a alpha-numeric callback to the Weapon from Marathon's name, the TOZT. There is also a high chance it was influenced by the flamethrower from the Aliens movies, as was the assault rifle. |
|
| |
|
| Even though UNSC Marines claim that their comrades wield the flamethrower, the player can not give it to them in game. The only time when a Marine is seen wielding one is in the level Floodgate; it is seen being used inside the factory, (the spot where any surviving Marines hold position) holding it like Master Chief. One needs to be in [[Theater]] mode or playing on a lower difficulty to see the Marine holding it, because he dies in a few seconds.
| | ==Defoliating usage== |
|
| |
|
| In [[multiplayer]], the flamethrower only appears on the map [[Construct]] by default, situated at the bottom of the map. It is one of two weapons capable of granting an [[Incineration]] medal when used (the other being the [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb|Firebomb Grenade]]), and is also capable of easily granting a [[Kill from the Grave]] medal.
| | Due to the weapon's name, it may be used as a way of clearing vegetation. A defoliant is a chemical sprayed or dusted onto plants to make their leaves fall off, and effectively kills them. The M7057 would distribute the defoliant (although it would be burning) over shrubs, bushes, and small trees that would impede a force's way, clearing a thick jungle path or burning an area where they could then set up camp, unimpeded by overgrowth. "Defoliant" may also simply refer to the fuel's effect on vegetation, but not actually describe the chemical properties of said fuel. |
|
| |
|
| The weapon reappears in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and works identically to its ''Halo 3'' counterpart. It appears only on the level [[Data Hive]], and can be useful in clearing out swarms of [[Yanme'e|Drones]] while traversing the hive. If fired at [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]], it will immediately kill the [[Huragok|Engineer]] regardless of difficulty - resulting in a mission fail. The flamethrower cannot be used in [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] with default settings or in the original [[Xbox 360]] release. However, the updated [[Floodfight]] mode and custom settings in the game's ''Master Chief Collection'' port does allow for this.
| | ==Role in Campaign== |
|
| |
|
| In ''Halo 3: ODST'', there is one [[Achievements (Halo 3: ODST)|achievement]] that can be unlocked with the flamethrower.
| | The flamethrower has actually proven to be a pretty useful weapon against the Flood in the [[Halo Custom Edition]] CMT Campaign for PC. |

| ==Production notes==
| | Now that the Flamethrower has been confirmed for Halo 3, this may spawn new strategies and tactics for its use in campaign mode, as Halo 3 is the first time a flame weapon can be used in the campaign mode of a Halo game (unless modded in the other games). It may be very effective against Brutes, as their fur may be set more a flame, and especially on the exposed tanks of the [[Ghost]] and possibly the [[Brute Chopper]]. It may replace the [[Shotgun]] and the [[Energy Sword]] as the main anti-[[Flood]] weapon, as the player can spread the flames around himself to repel the flood while simultaneously damaging them. The player can also use it to kill an entire swarm of Flood |
| [[File:H2 Flamethrower FP 2.png|thumb|250px|Using the Flamethrower in the [[Halo 2 beta|''Halo 2'' beta]].]] | | as they rush him. It has also been speculated that the Flamethrower may be a significant plot device, as it was originarily planned to be in the Halo:CE level, [[Keyes]]. |
| {{Main|Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons|Cut Halo 2 weapons}}
| |
| The flamethrower has a storied history as cut content in the ''Halo'' games. The weapon is one of many originally designed for inclusion in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', and went through a number of design iterations in this time.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the cutscene of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' level ''[[Keyes (level)|Keyes]]'', where the Master Chief retrieves [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]]' neural implants, the Master Chief was meant to burn Keyes' [[skull]] out of the [[Proto-Gravemind]] and retrieve the implants. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the Flamethrower was removed. [[Lorraine McLees]] was the one who actually had to texture the whole "burnt" skull and she added that she had done her job so well that "the skull was so gruesome no one could look at it."{{Ref/Reuse|AoH}}
| | ==Multiplayer Role== |
| | [[Image:Flamethrower.jpg|thumb|right|The Flamethrower on Snowbound]] |
| | The Flamethrower is best used in close quarters combat. The trail of flame can act as a temporary smokescreen to blind snipers with. It is especially effective if used to retreat by running backwards away from an enemy to leave a trail of flame, deterring would-be pursuers from giving chase to a wall of fire, use caution because the Flamethrowers damage is reduced when running backwards. |
|
| |
|
| The weapon was redesigned for inclusion in ''[[Halo 2]]'', and was even featured in the game's [[Halo 2 beta|beta stages]] alongside a [[Covenant]] counterpart - the [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Disintegrator|Disintegrator]].{{Ref/Twitter|Id=H2BWeapons|vengeful_vadam|1262137145399091201|The Vengeful 'Vadam|Quote=In the Halo 2 Beta, there were two cut weapons: -The Flamethrower, which would be repurposed to become the Halo 3 Flamethrower -The Disintegrator, a Covenant counterpart to the Flamethrower.|D=08|M=9|Y=2021}} However, the design was reused for an art piece included in the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'' gallery, depicting [[Maria-062]] holding the weapon.

| The M7057 was later modelled by [[:Category:Images by Gene Kohler|Gene Kohler]] for inclusion in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' as a weapon for use by the [[Hellbringers]]. However, the weapon was cut and replaced by the [[NA4 flamethrower]] for unknown reasons.

| | *The Flamethrower's number designation,7057, can be translated from "leetspeak", and it means the TOST. It may be a reference to the Marathon Flame Thrower, which was named the TOZT-7, or it simply relates to the flamethrower's function, to toast things. |
| *The weapon's designation is a reference the TOZT .25 and TOZT-7 flamethrowers from Bungie's ''[[Marathon]]'' trilogy. "TOZT" and "7057" (the latter a [[wikipedia:leetspeak|leetspeak]] rendering of the former) are both plays on the word "toast". | |

However the burnt skull was said to be too gruesome to put into the game, so the flamethrower was removed.<ref>[[Art Of Halo]] - pg. 140</ref> |
