It can be used to boil water and weld steel, it seems like it should be able to start fires too

If not, is there any plan to allow this? I know it’s borderline op as is, but at the stage you normally get it lighters are a dime a dozen, and for the classes that start with it, it can already be used to boil water anyways.

I saw a discussion somewhere suggesting turning it into an active mod that replaces your hand with a toolkit (like what the monoblade does, though possibly retracting it automatically if you run out of energy) which would allow this, provide a very slight nerf to help balance it’s power, and would fit lore wise with the mod.

There is a mini flamethrower cbm that can be used to start fires.

The toolkit includes soldering and hotplate attachments. I suppose those could ignite things, but yeah, the CBM flamethrower gets that job.
