Refill between boards
The flamethrower’s refill window is between completed boards, rather than every movement roll or small round within one board. Finishing a turn is not a reason to expect a full tank.
If it runs out now
- Stop relying on the empty weapon to hold the route.
- Use an available control or escape die, or take another path.
- Complete the board and reach the shop transition.
- Check the weapon’s fuel again before leaving for the next board.
Do not stand in danger repeatedly pressing a guessed reload key.
Is there a manual reload?
Do not plan around a same-board manual reload, a fuel can or a mid-run ammunition pickup. There is no dependable control sequence here for one.
That is different from treating every possible way to restore fuel as impossible. Follow a specific instruction if your own version’s HUD or shop provides one; otherwise, budget the tank for the board ahead.
Spend fuel deliberately
The weapon has a limited supply. Keep another way to deal with trouble and avoid spending the entire tank just to test an enemy interaction.
See shop items for tools that solve navigation, carrying and wipe protection instead of adding another weapon.
