A flame trap is a thrown bomb that can only be crafted by players with the Engineer profession.

Usage

Once thrown, Flame Traps will cover an average area of 12x12 squares, starting several fires in the process. The fires themselves will last for about 10 in-game minutes, not taking into account any other objects or zombies caught in the flames.
