Is this just a rumor? Is it indeed being considered?

As a Shelter builder, this news is disastrous

Some of you may know me from the shelter adventures I make, So you will know that the way I use flamethrowers in Shelters allows for player interaction and facilitates gated progression until triggers to destroy walls/objects. Sometimes they create a sense of spectacle and wonder. Not one of my uses for flamethrowers involves ever trying to hurt a player. FROOGR Inc makes FUN interactive shelter adventures for everyone to enjoy.

As I understand it, even if you do die in a shelter you DONT drop your junk! So if the worry is people can kill people in shelters with flamethrowers, then there is no penalty for death anyway...

If you are skeptical about what I say, you probably have just not had the pleasure of visiting a shelter that utilizes interactive ways to engage the player and tell a guided story/adventure/challenge

Check out this video fo one of our shelters and this list of available FROOGR Shelters to see for yourself the way flamethrowers can add so much to shelter adventures!

Hey there! Not sure where this rumor came from but that's all it is. We're not planning on removing flamethrowers from Shelters.
