Actually, why don't we redo flamethrowers in general into something more cool?
I propose chemical throwers!
Chemical throwers would work like flamethrowers but accept many different types of gases or mixtures. Gas is stored in a tank, which is released and aimed by clicking on a square within a certain radius. Different gas mixtures could have different results: pure plasma could create a nasty flame, while cryoxadone mixed with supercooled nitrogen makes a freezing beam that traps things in solid ice. There's plenty of possibilities here, and chemists can discover all sorts of interesting effects. Perhaps a superconductive gel that can electrify people? Styptic and silver sulfadiazine together for long-range healing? Metal foam mixture for filling up hull breaches?
