Allow Preassemble flamethrower inside bagpack - meaow589 - 06-19-2025

the point of idea is because the problem of how large of flamethrower are unable to contain in inventory. in case you want to preassemble it you need 
2bag slot(welding tank , metal rod )and 4 pocket slot (pocket oxygen /igniter/welding tool/screwdriver ) minimum to assemble it.
i know how strong of this weapon and it would unfair if allow this weapon to get in inventory. however i think it still able to abit improve quality of life .
by allow some part of assemble inside bag pack 
like this
allow Welding gun / igniter assembly to get inside bag pack 
so when you want to use you need to assemble tanks to finish before use which take 3 step (assembly gas tank / chem tank /lit the fire) make it still balance .

you can use already use a screwdriver on flamethrower frame, making it only require three slots (1 air tank, 1 fuel tank, 1 for the assembly)

Yes but the assembly you mention was welder/igniter assembly which can’t get into bagpack

You argument seems to be that it would be unbalanced but it should be possible because...?

IIRC the unsecured state for the welder/rods/igniter assembly was removed, meaning that only the secured state (which is the flamethrower) still exists.  Unless behavior was changed (I haven't tested it), that state doesn't fit in a backpack.

the unsecured state still exists. eject the tanks, then use a screwdriver. fits into a pocket.
