Cremator

The Cremator is a heavy weapon in Fallout 76, introduced in the Expeditions: Atlantic City update part two, America's Playground.

Characteristics

The Cremator is more like an auto grenade launcher than a flamer.

Like the flamer, the Cremator deals fire damage and applies a burning effect to its targets. Unlike the flamer, the Cremator lobs explosive fireballs, applies its burning effect to enemies within the fireball's explosion, and consumes 10 fuel per shot.

Furthermore, the burning effect is large, dealing 50 fire damage a second for 6 seconds at base,^[1] and can be increased to 80 fire damage a second for 12 seconds^[2] with the slow burning mod. This damage over time effect scales with additive damage bonuses like Heavy Gunner perks, Adrenal Reaction and the Junkie's legendary effect, and is unaffected by armor penetration buffs like Stabilized.

Notes

Behind the scenes

• The description of the Cremator, featured on page 4 of the season 16 rewards, is a reference to the song "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis.
• Mark Nicholson created the weapon using concept art from Vivay Li, describing the weapon as having a "relationship with Fallout 3's Incinerator should be obvious, but is also complicated by this game's time-frame being that of a prequel."^[5] The Incinerator in Fallout 3 was not indicated to be related to this weapon, or have any lore that would contradict its existence.

Bugs
