The 2x4 Burning is a melee weapon in Condemned: Criminal Origins and its sequel. As its name suggests, it is a 2x4 that has been set on fire. It does a decent amount of damage and is very fast, but only appears in the last chapter of Criminal Origins and the doll factory in Condemned 2 : Bloodshot. In Criminal Origins, the 2x4 Burning is used as a portable light source after Ethan loses his flashlight.
