Vaporizer

Vaporizer is a unique flamethrower of Tier 6 in Dune Awakening, belonging to the Weapons - Heavy Weapons category. While artillery weapons and projectiles became deemphasized with the invention of the Holtzman shield, the humble flamethrower saw wider adoption in the military forces of the Imperium. Holtzman shields provide very little protection against being slowly cooked from the outside. This unique flamethrower has a higher gel capacity and more intense flame.

Game Characteristics

Vaporizer offers enhanced flamethrower performance optimized for anti-shield destruction and intense fire dominance:

Specialized Properties

• Damage Type: Fire - Devastating fire damage
• Fire Mode: Automatic - Continuous intense fire stream
• Damage Per Shot: 40.7 - High fire damage
• Shield Damage: 40.7 - Equal effectiveness against shields
• Rate of Fire: 230 RPM - High firing rate
• Clip Size: 60 - Larger capacity than Glasser
• Reload Speed: 2.5 seconds - Quick reloading
• Effective Range: 15 meters - Nearly double range vs Glasser
• Accuracy: 0.9 - High precision
• Stability: 0.09 - Extremely low stability

Crafting System

Manufacturing Vaporizer requires an Advanced Weapons Fabricator and the following materials:

• Plastanium Ingot (85x)
• Mechanical Parts (16x)
• Cobalt Paste (33x)
• Plasteel Composite Gun Parts (21x)
• Fluid Efficient Industrial Pump (8x)
• Spice Melange (70x)
• Spice-infused Plastanium Dust (14x)
• Water (530x)

Total crafting time is 15 seconds and requires a unique schematic to unlock the recipe.

Schematic Acquisition

Vaporizer schematic can be obtained through several methods:

Schematic Drop Locations

The map shows drop locations for the period July 29 - August 5, 2025 in the Deep Desert area. The schematic appears at specific positions marked on the map during this weekly rotation.

Landsraad Alternative

Besides map drops, there's another way to obtain Vaporizer - you can get it as a reward from Landsraad House when reaching a specific milestone in personal contribution. This path can often be more efficient than waiting for the correct weekly rotation.

Trading Opportunities

Traj Axxari

Vaporizer can be sold to Traj Axxari for 15,000 Solaris - the same price as Glasser, reflecting equivalent specialized fire weapon value despite enhanced capabilities.

Imperial Anti-Shield Technology

Flamethrower Adoption Revolution

Vaporizer represents Imperial military evolution:

Anti-Shield Innovation:

• Wider adoption in Imperial military forces
• Response to Holtzman shield limitations
• Holtzman shields provide very little protection against slow cooking
• Humble flamethrower became tactical necessity

Technological Enhancement:

• Higher gel capacity (60 vs Glasser's 50)
• More intense flame for better penetration
• Improved range (15 vs 8 meters)
• Optimized anti-shield effectiveness

Intense Flame System

Enhanced fire system provides:

• 40.7 fire damage per shot
• More intense flame for deeper penetration
• Better gel capacity for extended operations
• Superior anti-shield effectiveness

Improved Flamethrower Performance Analysis

Enhanced Anti-Shield Platform

Vaporizer excels as an improved anti-shield tool:

Improvements over Glasser:

• 15-meter range vs 8 meters - nearly double
• 60-round magazine vs 50 - larger capacity
• More intense flame for better shield penetration
• Imperial military grade construction

Constant Characteristics:

• 40.7 damage (similar to Glasser's 40.8)
• 230 RPM - identical fire rate
• 0.09 stability - still extremely difficult control
• 2.5-second reload - same reload speed

Flamethrower Excellence

Optimized for Imperial anti-shield operations:

• Enhanced close to medium range devastation
• Superior shield penetration capabilities
• Extended operational capacity with larger fuel load
• Military-grade reliability for Imperial forces

Imperial Military Adoption

Tactical Necessity Against Holtzman Shields

Vaporizer adoption in Imperial military:

• Response to shield technology limitations
• Wider military deployment than traditional weapons
• Slow cooking advantage against shield systems
• Proven effectiveness against fortified positions

Material Requirements

Vaporizer uses identical components to Glasser:

• Cobalt Paste (33x) - specialized fire weapon material
• Fluid Efficient Industrial Pump (8x) - advanced fuel delivery system
• Plasteel Composite Gun Parts (21x) - heat-resistant construction
• Imperial-grade materials for reliable military function

FAQ

Q: What's the main difference between Vaporizer and Glasser?
 A: Vaporizer has nearly double range (15 vs 8 meters) and larger magazine (60 vs 50). It's an Imperial military grade version with more intense flame designed for anti-shield operations.

Q: Why did flamethrowers see "wider adoption" in Imperial forces?
A: Holtzman shields provide very little protection against slow cooking from outside. Traditional projectile weapons became less effective, so flamethrowers became a tactical necessity.

Q: Do both flamethrowers have the same selling price?
A: Yes, both sell for 15,000 Solaris to Traj Axxari. The price reflects equivalent specialized fire weapon value despite technical differences.

Q: Is Vaporizer still as difficult to control as Glasser?
A: Yes, 0.09 stability remains the same. Imperial engineering focused on range and capacity improvements rather than recoil control. Still requires expert-level skill.

Q: How does "slowly cooked from the outside" work against shields?
A: Holtzman shields block fast-moving projectiles but slow heat application penetrates through. Flamethrowers provide continuous heat that slowly cooks targets inside shields.

Q: Is the weekly rotation map accurate for getting the schematic?
A: Yes, the map shows specific drop locations for July 29 - August 5, 2025. Drop locations change weekly according to the rotation schedule in the Deep Desert.
