The Hellfire Projector is an heavy weapon in XCOM 2. Like all heavy weapons, it can only be mounted on heavy armors or SPARK and has 1 ammo charge per mission.
As an upgrade to the Flamethrower, this weapon is similar in function.
This weapon fires a cone of flames with a wide spread that deals high damage to those within and inflicts them with Burning. Flame will cover all tiles affected by the weapon, which cause burning to those that move on them.
This weapon is useful for preventing various actions and cooldown-based abilities due to the Burning effect and can even deny some melee-oriented units like Chryssalids and Stun Lancers, who cannot melee attack while Burning (Chryssalids are unaffected in the XCOM 2: War of the Chosen).
This weapon is likely to panic targets that it is used on, as with the Flamethrower.
Mechanical units and other burn-immune enemies are completely unaffected by this weapon.
