Flaming

is a weapon mod that adds extra damage that does not need to penetrate in order to deal damage. On hit, the struck object's temperature will also increase by (2 * Tier)d8. Enemies slain with flaming weapons will often be turned to ash.

Adding this to a weapon causes it to become EMP sensitive and use up 10 charge per melee hit. If applied to a ranged weapon, it will not affect projectiles shot by the weapon. This mod will only work if being used to physically strike something.
