Button to turn on your weapons flashlight?
I had to go into my inventory to turn on and off my weapons flashlight. In general I hate the scrolling of turning on your flashlight. I'm getting used to it the more I use it. Is there a key to turn your light on or off? I feel like you should press L the click your scroll whele on which light if you have multiple lights attached in your UI hud. If you only have your weapon and a flashlight. L should turn on the light and turn it off. Right? Your running in doing a quick sweep of the building and you want to leave quick and easy without going into your inventory and turning on or off your light. Hopefully some of Rocket's team is checking these forums and making some lists!

F turns it on and off. You have to put the batteries in the flashlight to.
Space bar also changes where you focus the light to!

Right right. I tried pressing all 9 buttons to the left of my main buttons. Figured one would turn it on. F did do it. Maybe because of the weird lag time I was getting in servers.

drag the universal flashlight to a spot in your quick bar and everytime you wanna turn it on or off you take it off with the quick bar and left click

for example hotkey the flashlight to "1" and then when you want to turn it on or off just press "1" and then "left click"

Not only that, but the way to do this now is to left click while you're not in ready position.

If anyone in the future is reading this (like I am) and still needs help, when I was playing the headlamp required me to press "L" to turn it on (after putting a fresh battery in it), not F.

The best thing about night shooting with a flashlight
stuck on the end of your gun is..
I know exactly where to aim for the perfect headshot.

To clarify, weapon flashlight should just be “Left click” while the gun is in your hands (should get a prompt in lower left screen).

Regular flashlight I believe is also “Left click” when in your hands. And headlamp is tap “L”; while night vision is hold “L”.
