So some real world flamethrowers work by shooting gas and igniting it, so that gives me an idea for it.
Flammenwerfer (as suggested by SonOfTheSun), exotic flamethrower.
Dunno about stats but i have some perk ideas.
Perk one, Gas fire: shoots a stream of ignited gas that clings to surfaces and enemies while also damaging them.
Perk 2, 3rd degree burn: enemies damaged by the flame will take more damage from all sources. This damage boost will be increased the longer the enemy is exposed to the flame.
This will probably deal about as much damage as a trace rifle just without being a straight beam. Additionaly it would probably take special ammo.

I love the idea but 3rd degree brun could be op

Im thinking it might be similar to d1 viking funeral perk where it scales up to x3 at a max. Like a first degree burn, second degree burn, and 3rd degree burn. I was thinking maybe like x1 is a 15% damage boost x2 is a 30% damage boost and x3 is a 40% damage boost, but the boost will go down if it stops being exposed to the flame.
