Flamethrower

The Flamethrower, arguably the most important piece of Equipment in the game, can be found only in Locations bearing the mechanics icon. They can only be found by Parker and Brett, simulating the fact that the Nostromo's two engineers are the only crewmembers with the know-how to make them out of available materials.

A crewmember carrying the Flamethrower may act on his step to destroy one Alien, Robot, Lair, or Chestburster at his location. No 'to hit' roll is required. If the Alien player is going to go after a crewmember who has a Flamethrower, he'd be wise to time it very carefully.
