Is green flashlight good?

[laslax]

I'm not considering early game strategies on multiplayer (something along the lines of 4 green, 2 green and 2 walkie-talkies, or 2 green and 1 shovel,) but instead using green flashlight throughout the entire game.

The downsides compared to pro flashlight is less range, less width, and half the battery life. The pro flashlight can also be dropped for weight.
The downside compared to scan only is one less inventory slot unless you drop the green flashlight.

My reasoning is I want speed, but I also want to see when necessary. There should practically be no difference bringing back loot with pro flashlight or green flashlight (though, green could ironically be slower if you recharge it a lot,) but moving through the interior, doing parkour, or moving to the entrance/fire exit should be where green flashlight performs better. Considering combat, the only thing the green flashlight has over pro flashlight is providing a light for fighting interior enemies if you want minimum weight.

Honestly, the best method for speed is to not bring any flashlight, and get used to wandering through the dark with the scanner. You can carry more that way anyways.

^^^ what GashkinZ said

If your priority is speed, skip on bringing flashlights entirely. Having that one extra slot for looting makes a hell of a difference.

I personally use a pro flashlight and it helps since they're semi cheap and can be left behind on the second quota to be replaced

if it costed $5 per green flash, i would take it with me initially but not comeback with it if i find enough items to fill my inventory
