Suggestion: Flashlight + Duct Tape on Gun = Gun with Flashlight

[Tamaster]

I found it weird that the game did not have the option to add a flashlight with some tape to a weapon, in a survival setting where weapons are important, it would be plausible to attach a light source to a firearm to not have to switch the weapon and flashlight continuously to either see or shoot. I know lantern exists for this but it does not have the same range of light as a flashlight.

So i suggest to add this option, maybe normal Flashlight attaches to semi-auto pistol, and military flashlight to shotguns and assault rifles because they are military weapons and bigger so can hold a bigger flashlight compared to the smaller pistol.

Thanks for reading!

Wow, that's a neat idea, now I'm gonna get frustrated that it's not in the game :/

PRoblem is how would the flash light run out of battery the bar is used for ammo so the flash light would never run out

I am pretty sure developers could put something to get around that

Would require a lot of new programming and new ui to make it look nice besides you can just use the lantern

I honestly don't even see the point of flashlights. I'm assuming they have a longer sight range than a lantern, but lanterns let you fight without having to drop a flare first, so...

One of the problems I noticed with flashlights is that the lamp is too good in comparison since you don't have to switch to the item to get it to work. Inversely you can't turn off the lamp or refill it with gasoline which is a shame since you can't preserve it without going to your inventory and removing it from the hotbars. Personally the Military Flashlight should be an item you can hang off your body and activate it and reactivate it on a whim while having to replace the batteries here or there.
