How to get the Flamethrower in Dress to Impress

This has to be the strangest accessory you can get.

There are lots of secret items you can unlock in Dress to Impress, and while most of them are pretty straightforward, some require a bit more effort. The Flamethrower is by far the trickiest item you can unlock.

If you’re hoping to earn this item, you have to act fast since it won’t be available for long. You also have to put in quite a bit of effort, and it’s a tricky process, so here’s how to get the Flamethrower in Dress to Impress.

What is the Flamethrower code in DTI?

To obtain the Flamethrower in DTI, you need to find a series of emojis corresponding to specific numbers hidden around the map and piece them together to form a unique code. Unlike all other codes in DTI, every player has a unique one here, so you have to solve it for yourself.

Each emoji is tied to a different number for each player. For me, the Heart is a two, and I found it on a table in the Salon, but it might not be the same number or at the same location for you.

The first step for solving your code is to visit a regular server and complete the round. At the end, look right above the scoreboard to learn your specific code series. Mine, for example, is Dress, Star, Heart, Dress, Dress. For me, the Dress was next to the number three, the Star was by the number five, and the Heart was by a two, so my personal Flamethrower code ended up being 35233.

Your code will be completely different depending on where your emojis are and what number each one is tied to. Once you know the correct order for your emojis, you need to get to work finding them.

All emoji locations for Flamethrower in DTI

The locations for the emojis you need to find to unlock the Flamethrower are also random, so there are many potential spawn spots to check. Here are all of the ones we’ve found so far, but there might be more, so we’ll add additional ones as we come across them.

  • On the side of the nail salon where Lina is working for the duration of the April Fools’ update.
  • On the shelf above the shoe section in the main lobby.
  • On the circular tables sitting around the intermission lobby.
  • On the table right behind the entrance wall into the salon in the main lobby.
  • On the walls of the dressing rooms in the main lobby.
  • On the pillars around the intermission lobby.
  • In the very back corner of the parkour pit in the intermission lobby.
  • On the fence around the path area you spawn on in the intermission lobby.
  • On the stairs and sides of the stairs throughout the main lobby.
  • On the shelf between the nail table and the hairdryers.
  • On the bottom of the green screen in the intermission lobby.
  • On the wall behind the plants around the main lobby.
  • On shelves throughout the main lobby.
  • On the wall above the hat section in the main lobby.
  • On the walls outside the windows in the main lobby.
  • In the parkour pit by the corner of the ramp in the intermission lobby.
  • On the shelf where all of the bags are in the main lobby.

Since there are many different spots where the emojis can appear, the best way to find them is to simply scour every inch of the map as carefully as you can. They can appear in the main lobby and the intermission lobby but not in the VIP room. Because the emojis can appear in the intermission lobby, you need to play on a regular server to make sure you’re able to find all of them.

How to use the Flamethrower in DTI

Once you have it unlocked, the Flamethrower appears in a special bar near the bottom of the screen. Click on the word “Flamethrower” to equip it, then click anywhere else on the screen to turn it on and start shooting fire. It only shoots fire as long as you’re holding the use button down.

How long is the Flamethrower available for in DTI?

You can only get the Flamethrower for 24 hours from 12pm CT on April 1 to 12pm CT on April 2. After this, it’s gone forever, so if you miss out, there’s no way to acquire this item in the future.

If you’re looking for more special items to add to your collection, consider working on unlocking the Style Showdown set, Magical Girl outfit, and Lana Stitch dress next.
