Incinerator

BACKGROUND - Purple Black - Upside Down.png

The Incinerator is a Multi-tool weapon which can currently not be obtained by normal means, but comes pre-installed on many multi-tools.
It is significantly overpowered against all enemies in the game & also affects fauna.

Pre-installed on some multi-tools.

There is speculation that the more hours on your save file, the easier it becomes to find. This is due to newer players not seeming to find it, and legacy players finding it far more easily.

There is also speculation that it becomes easier to find on multi-tools if you have found it on one before.

It certainly does seem to have something to do with a value in the player's own save file; as 2 players can go to the same cabinet & one find a tool with the Incinerator & another find the same tool but without it.

----

It's been proven countless times; every time someone says it's been removed countless people go about proving that wrong. Given that it's pure chance; this is extremely hard, infuriating work. I'm personally not willing to do it a 6th time.

Here's some notes I recently made on it when someone said it was gone & only got added in the first place 'accidentally':

INCINERATOR NOTES:

It was not added accidentally. HG don't do that. It was never removed. It was simply changed.

They have improved the Incinerator several times over every update in 2022 & several in 2023. You don't do that for something that was removed years ago. Not to mention that HG have themselves several times confirmed it was never removed.

It still has an icon in the files & lines of code, where anything else removed from the game has had at least the code & almost always the icons removed or replaced.

I, and many others, have found tools with it pre-installed many times.

All that actually happened (about a month after it was added) was that the rarity of it being found was significantly upped & it became tied to a specific changing value/number in your own save file, rather than being tied to specific multi-tool cabinets. Now what exactly changes that number is a bit of a mystery (and a frequent source of jokes - spinning chairs?); but the line of code has been found independently by many different interlopers. Finding out what changes that number has been a community goal for some time. I believe that at some point, it also stopped awarding the actual blueprint for it, when you got a tool with it installed.

People believed it was removed, because it had previously been tied to specific tool stations & it no longer appeared at those.

Two players can visit the same tool station (or NPC) and one get a tool without it, and the other a tool with it - because whether it appears is tied to your own save file's numbers. Again, there's plenty of video evidence of this available on youtube.

So PLEASE, stop saying that the Incinerator was removed from the game. It was not.

Additional: It's possible that a recent update *may* have made them only available via NPC gifts; but this is currently unconfirmed, and based purely on the observation that some of us have only recently seen them in this form & not in the tool cabinets.
