— The Scout on encountering a Xenomorph
 ”

The Nostromo Napalmer is a community-created promotional primary weapon for the Pyro. It is based on the custom flamethrower used on the Nostromo in Alien and Alien: Isolation. The four lighters at the front of the weapon glow in the dark.

This weapon functions identically to the Flame Thrower. However, if the Isolated Merc set is completed, the Nostromo Napalmer does bonus damage to Scouts wearing the complete Isolationist Pack set, with the trade-off of the user taking more melee damage from said Scouts (about 4x for both).

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Alien: Isolation on Steam before October 7th, 2014.

The Nostromo Napalmer was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
