Hytale Goblin Flamethrower Guide: Acquisition and Ultimate Uses

Introduced in Hytale's Update 3, the Goblin Flamethrower is a devastating two-handed weapon that harnesses fire to dominate combat and reshape the environment. This crude goblin invention brings chaotic fire mechanics to life, making it one of the most destructive tools in the game.

Lore and Design

Goblins crafted this weapon by trapping a Living Spark, a fiery spirit mob, inside a jar attached to a makeshift contraption. A candle strapped to the end ignites the fury, spewing plumes of flame in a continuous stream. Its rugged, scrap-metal appearance reflects goblin ingenuity.

How to Acquire the Goblin Flamethrower

Currently, the Goblin Flamethrower is exclusive to Creative Mode. To obtain it:

• Open your inventory and switch to Creative Mode.
• Search for "Goblin Flamethrower" in the creative inventory.
• Add it to your hotbar.

You can then switch back to Exploration Mode to test it in your worlds. Developers have confirmed it will be added to Exploration Mode in a future update, likely through crafting or world loot. No crafting recipe is available yet, but expect it to involve fire-related materials like Living Sparks and goblin scraps.

Stats and Performance

Combat and Utility Uses

The Goblin Flamethrower excels in area-of-effect destruction, leveraging Hytale's new fire spread system.

• Mob Control: Engulfs groups of enemies in flames, dealing initial impact damage plus sustained burn over time.
• Structure Demolition: Burns wooden blocks, converting them to charred "burned wood" variants. Structures collapse as blocks are destroyed.
• Terrain Manipulation: Ignites grass and spreads fire across open areas, but fire stops at non-flammable blocks or gaps, preventing uncontrollable blazes.
• PvP Raiding: Ideal for sieging enemy wooden bases from afar.

Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

• Use in open areas to maximize fire spread.
• Combine with mobility for hit-and-run tactics.
• Avoid using near your own flammable builds.
• Watch for future patches unlocking it in Exploration Mode for endless goblin chaos.
