Dropped Connection is best for farming ... metal armor.

ATTENTION all who are using the flamer after the new update on 10/10/23 the Enclave Flamer now works with the commando perks not the rifleman perks. You’re welcome.

Over the last year I've dedicated myself to hunting Enclave Flamers and mods. I've found 3 flamer Mods and about 12 actual flamers that dropped from the Enclave Dropped Connection event. The reflex sight is what you're looking for as a compliment to the flamer. The other vendors in the Savage divide also have a chance to sell the flamer mod, but it's a smaller chance it seems. Anti-Armor is king for the legendary effects. Good luck hunting these!

The Enclave Plasma Sniper rifle is quite good too. You can pick things off from so far away with the scope, they can't even think about attacking you plus you get the sneak bonus.

I actually found aligned flamer mod for this gun in a players shop. He was level 73 and was selling it for 50 caps. I felt bad to pay so little for such a rare mod. I gave him close to 5k caps. He was very happy.

Excellent Vlog Am level 580 and I think you can guess I have more than a few of these. My best one is the 3 *** Blooded with 25% aim damage. The Enclave Drop is the best event to do. As for the Mods these are the most difficult mods to purchase or find. I have done that run through a good few times when it had the Glitch with the Bot at the end and all you had to do was kill the Bot exit and return as many times as you liked and you was Always given a 3*** item. I don’t think I have ever gotten the flamer from that run through but have heard you can. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

Besides watoga, berkley springs vendor ( got two there) if you have 1st, when you run out of server hops, go into private, check vendors, go to public, logout, private, rebuild world also means fresh vendor stock. Also, enclave pistol from dropped connection can have flamer on it, mod it to rifle and voila.

Vampire EPR paired with Overeaters Secret Service set… run, gun up close headshots, no VATS, heal as you shoot, reduce damage taken, eat, drink… easy button build.

i picked up a plasma rifle and was just going to scrap or sell it as at that time I hadn't been terribly impressed with plasma weapons. But I used a plasma sniper rifle to try it out and was really impressed so i figured I give this regular rifle a shot. Just about dropped the controller when a flame thrower like burst came out steadily. Been my main gun for over 50 levels now. Basically a regular plasma rifle with a flamer barrel and i think the refined beta wave tuner with a red dot scope. Short range but it's wicked!

Also, always look out for reflex versions with aligned auto. Often times good rolls on those are more valuable than the Flamer versions.

Idk if you can or cant get the rifle to drop with a reflex sight by raiding that event or station but you absolutely can find enclave automatic rifles with reflex sights from the whitesprings bunker. If you don’t find one on your first go, then just keep hopping servers until you do. And you can buy every gun you come across too, there will still be more there the next time around. I’ve found FOUR of the aligned flamer barrel mods in the past two days btw! All from farming the watoga vendors.

The fastest way I found out is having a lot of caps and server hopping for players vendors, some players will sell those Enclave weapons with the aligned flamer and reflex sight attached, and sometimes just the loose mods, the catch is those will come really expensive for around 15k -30k caps or even more If you want to do the server hop strategy do this: -First check drop connection event, then check both watoga vendors and next the player vendors, then server hop and repeat btw modus production terminal sometimes sells E plasma with the reflex sight the Calibrated beta wave tuner mod is also sold by the watoga vendors for its 50% critical dmg (For VATS users), still debatable vs the prime capacitor

That underground Enclave station is also a great place for general crafting/junk loot. Found 5 military circuit boards & at least 7 microscopes for example.

wow i was seriously just trying to figure this out! how lucky am i that you just released a video

I’ve gotten a bunch from Dropped Connection, one even had the desired reflex/stock but also the seldom seen True Flamer Barrel already attached to it which if I’m not mistaken is better for hip firing.

I agree with your opinion on the best way to get the weapon. It’s been my experience that Dropped Connection is the best option.

Thanks for the info and the vid. I definatly would like to try to make this build.

Thanks for the help! Also I saw you doing a scorch beast queen a couple days ago nice seeing you!

server hopping and checking both shops at watoga have given me the best returns for the flamer mod. never had the flamer equipped rifle drop on dropped connection.

did an enclave event literally 5 mins after watching this video and got the flamer barrel gun. first legendary mod put on gave me quad capacity, 25% damage while aiming, -25 AP cost. so yeah enclave event works nicely

I farmed a few Enclave plasma flamers and I must say trying to get the loose mod from one of the Watoga vendors is mostly a waste of time as it is so rare. If you want to do it anyway take a stack of vegetables with you and put one into the cash register at the train station - this allows you to check quickly if you already have been on a server while server hopping. Stop if you tend to run into servers you already visited and continue at a later point. The better option is just doing the Dropped Connection event until you get an Enclave Plasma Rifle with Flamer mod preinstalled (for VATS the aligned version) as if you get an Enclave plasma weapon there its guaranteed to have non-standard mods. You also want Stabilized stock to get it as rifle and Reflex sight as this reduces the AP cost by 15%. As capacitor you can go for the Calibrated beta wave tuner for the crit damage bonus if you want to use it in VATS (only available as loose mod, but not as rare as the flamer mod), otherwise the Prime capacitor is the best version because of the higher base damage it provides. For commando builds also Enclave plasma rifles with preinstalled Aligned automatic barrel are nice, but energy weapons perform poor in VATS because the automatic barrels for energy weapons don't have this huge -50% AP cost that automatic barrels have on ballistic weapons.

It has never made sense that flamer isn't considered an automatic. It fires automatically as long as the trigger is depressed.

Firstly, great video! LOTS of useful info. I had been searching for one of these flamer barrel mods for sometime and I finally found one at Watoga! Then, I find a player who is selling one for 12,000c... of course I bought it. What I am trying to say is, pay attention to player vendors... they may have the mod or weapon already modded for sale.

I find my first a couple of weeks ago from watoga dropped connection. Dropped with aligned flamed and reflex. First legendary attempt was Furious/25/15. I’ve not put it down since and I was fully specced into heavy guns.

I have 5 of them, 3 of which have the aligned flamer barrel & 2 of the True version. Love them but I have found that the ordinary version performs nearly as good. Great for a back up weapon. Just keep grinding at Berkeley Springs,Harper’s Ferry & Watoga. It will drop regularly at these 3 locations.

After server-hopping for 1-3 hours per day for a month and not finding any Enclave Plasma Flamers or Mods I finally got one from Dropped Connection in Watoga like a week and a half ago. I then promptly got two more and the boxed mod since, and just a few days ago found some poor soul selling one in their CAMP vendor for less than 1000caps... with Bloodied on it already. Now to save up the 1000 modules I'll probably need for that god roll anti-armor legendary on my fav one :D

FYI: if you are rolling these DO NOT roll ones that dont have an auto barrel , reflex sight and stabilized stock. you can always ad a flamer later, but stock, reflex and auto barrel can not be added later. if you get a god roll like Q2525 it is worth a ton as an auto, but useless as a flamer or without stock/reflex. if you are on PC there are some workarounds, but on console you have no options

I got my 2nd complete Flamer Rifle with Reflex Scope from Dropped Connection. For me this is the way to go. Never got the mod from the vendors in 2 months. And was there daily 10 times minimum.

In the transmission station, if you know how to photo Mode glitch, you glitch through the doors on the right after getting off the elevator. Basically takes you right to the end boss.

Got me a vampires 25 25 with the beta wave tuner and true flamer. Not the most optimized but still gets the job done

3:19 so does that method on the sheet actually rotates the shop to eventually get the mods after enough rotations or is it just another way to reroll the shop (random inventory nothing is guaranteed)?

That is so cool. I like plasma weapons. Just started using the Plasma War Glaive. Gooifyng everything. 😆 Anywas back to that Enclave Plasma. I'll definitely try it out as flamer and thanks for the rifleman card info. 👍

Love ur content keep up the good work

Love the green flame on it and it has great damage but seems range is lacking but it kinda makes sense it's a flame thrower ecencially lol

I recently bought the Enclave plasma rifle at Whitesprings bunker, so, I have that but now need the flamer mod. I already HAVE a regular plasma rifle that I added the flamer to and a stabilizer. It seems to work very well for me. I’m sure it’s not as good , but kicks azz anyway.

should I get any of the Plasma plans from the vendor? like the Stabilized Flamer Barrel, or the True Flamer Barrel, or Aligned Automatic Barrel plans? or just look for the mods?

I got mine awhile back and love it. It freakin’ melts the enemies. Since it uses ultracite ammo I farm the expedition at the casino quarter. It’s the one where you have to throw to bags into the back of a truck. I usual take around 1000 and I stop at 5000. When I get low I do this again. It’s also great for XP and caps. Enemies are always respawning. 👍

Have two flamers I got from trading one I paid 30k caps and a longshoreman outfit the other I bought the aligned flamer for 30k and had a enclave rifle with the desired attachments. Recently got an aligned auto with all attachments at the whitespring bunker too just have to get a good roll now. I want to say the aligned sniper is awesome too 2-3 most enemies

I’ve farmed multiple of these mods. The watoga station, the super duper mart in watoga then server hop. Or run all enclave events in the cranberry bog or mire region Edit, you can get one with the reflex sight by server hopping and checking the armoury terminal at modus enclave bunker

I got today the recoil compensator with the flamer barrel in Berkeley Springs. What legendary effects should i put it?

I'm not surprised to see people still making the same videos about this same gun with the same mods.

you can only get the reflex sight at Enclave Bunker or from the Dropped Connections Event.

I both use and sell these in my shop in game. I currently have 8 of them, all with reflex sight, refined beta wave tuner and aligned flamer mod. I also have 2 Enclave pistols aswell, again, both with reflex sight, refined beta wave tuner and aligned flamer mod. I always carry 2 on me, an AA FFR DUR and a V FFR DUR. Would not be without em'.

I got my enclave flamer barrel as a box mod, which I found in the Cranberry Bog Bootleggers shack, upstairs behind the tool box on the table to the left as you come up the stairs.

I specialise in Enclave gear in my shop. I have every variant of weapon and mods for sale. The best way to get the weapon is to do lobby hopping and check both watoga vendors for mods, and MODUS for a reflex rifle (then attach the mod). The attach a tuner for added burning and OFF YOU GO

Congratulations. I have to say that this is the best instructions of this games. After this im on my way there to fight this guy I've been looking for this gun for very long time

Is the true flamer barrel good ? I got one and idk if i should be happy or not

Another great video man 👍👍

I got a Slug Buster as a quest reward and it was a fairly decent weapon. At the time, I was mid-game and struggling with DPS. I saw the flamer mod plan on a vendor and thought it sounded cool so I bought it just to try it. I was stunned by how good it was. Then I went and did the perks. Full Commando (yes that now works because it's an automatic), full science (energy weapon), plus all the other typical damage enhancing perks stacked and it turned into an absolute game-changing beast. At level 100'ish I was way out dps'ing guys that were way above me. I do have an Enclave one, and wanted to try converting it for a little extra boost, but the Slug Buster legendaries are nice, including that 50% Armor Pen. Think I'll give the Enclave build a try, but I'm just melting stuff with the Slug Buster. It's insane.

Does it heal other players with the perk card for that? or does this flamer register as plasma?

I picked up the flame mod and another Enclave mod at Watoga Station many moons ago. I haven't seen one since.

I have a ton bunch of beautiful enclave flamers w reflex, I prime em and roll them for things like vampires or bloody. Right now I've got some really amazing ones, (a FFR Bloody 15crit, so bloody). I'm on XBOX. Idk something about the chase of getting them makes me always grind atleast one perfect enclave aligned flamer w reflex per week.

I got my first flamer from the main quest with them, very lucky. Id have to look again to see what all came with it though.

You can photomode glitch through the first door on the right at the beginning of the room. It takes about 10 seconds to walk down and through the double door straight into the power armor guy. Also, it should be noted. I have done this hundreds upon hundreds of times. No flamer once. Do dropped connection. It's the easiest way to get it.

Question... if I find the mod is it a one time use or is it like a plan? i.e if I wanted to craft 3 rifles with this mod would I have to buy more then the one mod or will in need to find 3 mods?

I got the aligned flamer version (no scope though) from my very first time playing the dropped connection event, but subsequently nothing. The Enclave bunker has had several with an automatic receiver and stock but again no scope. I am not bothered about a scope for the flamer version, but would love a reflex aligned auto version very much. I don't think the guy at the end of the Enclave research facility will drop any decent mods, I read a reddit post of some guy who claimed to run that 1000 times and never got a good one.

How good is the enclave flamer compared to something like the Holy Fire?

I got the Enclave plasma with flamer barrel and reflex sight from the watoga dropped connection so there is a chance for both to drop.

I have the automatic variant and I am very hesitant so far to put the flamer on it cuz I don't want to waste it before I figure this build out but mine is showing it will do more damage with the Commando build when I highlight the flamer than it does with The Rifleman build

1:02 there are rumors that if you put the flamer barrel on an already automatic plasma rifle it uses commando perks but i cannot test this as im not that lucky

Can you clarify for me that this rifle uses rifleman perks even if its an automatic or were you only referring to the flamer mod?

Got the flamer box mod from the Squatters daily quest. Killed 8 enemies to complete the quest

Faster fire rate is essential to me for these. I've been using and making them since we could make them legendary. Before that it was the normal ones.

I just found a box flamer mod at the watoga last night, it’s my 2nd find I find doing it in the middle of the night is the best

Rolled a vffr15fr one recently and also found the aligned flamer mod. also have another with the true flamer barrel on it, might just roll that one and trade them off though. just find that im not a fan of the ammo and repair upkeep on them even with the right perks. really good weapons though.

I have two of these and I'm undecided on which is better. One I have +50 armor pen and the other I have +25 based on my mutations which is +25. I always hear you want armor pen but why do I feel my +25 mutation one is killing enemies slightly faster?

Holy Karp now we are talking now thats a plasma flamer up my alley rockk on m8 that is bonzariffic. perfect to use in the mothman equinox too freakking sweet.

Jump severs for drop connections about every 20 you get the gun w/ the mod other mods vary

In the Bunker, it is also random to find the rifle itself... there is a higher probability to get the gun instead. I think that I got the automatic rifle 2 out of 10 times or even 1 out of 10 times that I checked the "Production" vendor. The other difficult one to get and can only be obtained as a mission reward is the sniper barrel version. At this moment, I use the three variant of them. Anti-Armor flamer, Two shot sniper and an Anti-Armor Automatic Rifle. They kill it all. Regarding the Refle Sight... it is true that it reduces VATS cost in your weapons. In all the time playing I got like 100 rifles, by farming Enclave events and the bunker showcased... and out fo them, none had the reflex sight but different vriants of the scoped sights. And in the bunker you get a lot of guns... which cannot be converted into rifles because of the lack of mods.

I never could get one. I just use the regular plasma rifle with the flamer mod. Its nearly as powerful and is still top tier if you can afford the ammo.

Is a “plasma thrower” as good? I have the enclave flamer (but I haven’t been using either). I randomly looted the thrower from a dead enemy (I think it was an animal). But good to know it’s the riflemen cards to use if I do decide to start using them.

I literally just got mine luckily bloodied yesterday and it definitely definitely packs a punch a insane amount of damage mostly anything gets taken out within 2-3 seconds lol thing shreds but definitely eats bullets like nothing

😮so is red dot better or reflex sight because im told getting it with reflex sight is an amazing drop

You can also get the mods them from Vendor Both Phoenix in Berkeley Springs Train Station

Go to whitesprings service entrance in the door straight ahead and the terminal is there its faster then jump worlds till u find what Yr looking for he always sells 2 weapons and can buy with reflex sight And dropped connection is the other method

What is the feature that makes it spray a a long distance?

I'm still a noob at Fallout 76, and I haven't completed the BOS storyline yet, I just recently finished the main storyline, and I am working on trying to complete the tadpole quest to get the larger backpack for carry weight, and @MrWestTek I figured out why I wasn't able to level up recently, when I had 5-7 level ups I was tapping on the right analog stick and not the left analog stick (the one that allowed me to level up and figured it out and have been using the left analog stick now)

I’ve searched all the shops and train stations on and off for years now and only ever get night vision scopes. I’ve had ONE flamer rifle drop from “dropped connection” in all these years and rolled AA faster fire on it. It’s been a beast of a gun as a commando. BUT I’ve also rolled and modded regular plasma rifles flamers and automatic variants to great success against enemies and high damage output. Do yourself a favor and use a regular legendary plasma rifle until you finally get the enclave. It’s not really worth the frustration.

I got the flamer barrel modded rifle from an Enclave event but to me it seems to do very little damage compared to my other weapons so I don't use it. But I might change that to a build I will do later.

Reflex sight reduces AP cost in VATS for 15%, yes

I got extremely lucky, I just learned about this weapon and began my hunt. On my first try this morning I found the aligned flamer mod at vendor bot Phoenix

I have 5 enclave flamers. 3 from dropped connection with both stock and reflex sight . one true , one stabilized, and 3 aligned . Two with refined tuners. Procured From Over 100 drop connections and over 200 visits to vendors where I obtained the other 2 flamer mods. Now I don’t know what is is the others do for their perk for the flamers? Anyone have their description? Aligned vs. true vs. stabilized flamer mod? Also without question the vamp role with FFR I have on one is most efficient and turns one mostly invincible. As long as one has the costly ammo 😂

Got one of these yesterday first legendary roll on it bloodied 25% damage when aiming and faster reload )) only thing missing is beta wave tuner or whatever it’s called. Got the auto, aligned flamer barrel, stabilised stock, reflex etc

Great video thank you

bro this confusing , so is the enclave plasma rifle and pistol two different weapons or its just one with many variants?

My Game Bro has dropped a Enclave Plasma Riffle with Flame Mod at Enclave Dropped Connection in Wytoga. He is a lucky guy but the Chance is very very very Low. Before i got a Flamer Mod, i do Server Hopping extrem. 20-30 Server Hopps per Day. After 4-6 Weeks i got one at the Vendor in Shopping Plaza. It's really nice to have this Gun but i think it's not the Best in all Situations.

Unfortunately I don’t have proof due to how far apart they were, but I was able to get 5 flamer mods in like 6-7 hours but that was over a week ago. Haven’t found another since. With around the same amount of farming hours.

Nice earned a sub

Does is work with the Perk Card where you heal you Allies? i just cant get the name of that card right now xD

Does it matter if the base rifle is automatic or not?

I just got one from random enclave events its regular automatic rifle with red dot(circle) sight

So I did the enclave quest at the beginning of the game when you answer the questions correctly and got one with the flamer mod. What im confused about is if their is any difference between "Aligned flamer" and normal "flamer" on the enclave weapon since the one from the quest dropped with just "flamer."

So I have several of these. 1 have the aligned flamer barrel, the other has the true flamer barrel. Any preference,

Wish they would buff the splitter variant. Personally my favorite despite the far less damage it does.

I love your content

Should I look for a rifle or auto?

The shopping plaza and the watoga station share an inventory and it stays the same after switching servers

Got 2 EPR flamer from dropped connection and I would say that this weapon is really strong except for the range :D I have a Vampire but I wanna re-roll for better 2 and 3 star legendary mods but with Vampire it is already a good weapon.

Have been using the enclave plasma flamer for nearly 4 years now. Everytime I get an extra, I give to friends.

I have it as a pistal is rifle better?
