Weapon upgrades[]
Heat Resistant Reloader[]
With a heat resistant reloader the reload times improve.
Extra Heat Storage[]
Heating storage improved resulting in an increase in ammo capacity.
Extra Hot Fireballs[]
Who wants some extra Hot Fireballs? They look great, they're hot, and they increase damage.
Strategies[]
This character is similar to the Fire Pea, due to having splash damage and a fire effect. What sets the Welder apart is the abilities. The Sonic Grenade is amazing to use with this character, as it can set groups of plants up to take a lot of damage, as well as suffer form the fire effects. Use to Jackhammer to rush to ranges where you are comfortable shooting from. If you can keep on the pressure, the Welder can be one of the most dangerous Engineer variants in the game due to his sheer damage output.
