Could I have a flashlight please?

[Zorlond]

No, not the gun attachments, just a regular ol' flashlight. Heck, at this point I'll take a burning torch. Unless 'fire' is too complicated a concept for the scavs in the game. I am not risking a real gun with real attachments at this point because I keep dying too frequently to justify the expenses. Just give me a frickin' light source I don't have to care about losing.

It is so dark on so much of the maps it's a complete PITA to learn anything about them. Heck, Elephant's Graveyard is on occasion completely pitch black. I can't explore that map at all because I risk having to instantly abandon because I can't see!

Yes, I realize light would draw attention to me, yes I know it's risky. Let the player decide where and when to take that risk, rather than forcing massive risks nonsensically,

You can buy a Rig Light, you store it on your Rig and its basically a hands free flashlight/floodlight. I have one, but never use it. check the Rig vendor guy, I think theyre cheap too.

Only problem with that, is that it takes up a critical geat/loot slot, and it's almost never useful, except that one in twenty chance of a map being the pitch black horror movie variant.

Too bad I don't have a 'Rig vendor guy'.

Get more water and you will, he's right across from the medkit seller.

Use the tactical camera - never again have any issues. As added bonus you would never be surprised as well.

Also a good option, except the flashlight is like 600 credits and the tac scanner is like 6,000; so a new player might be better off taking the low risk choice.

Actuall have tried the tactical camera. It impressed me with it's absolute uselessness. Plus it takes up large rig space, so no water or major valuables.

Better rigs have more slots for big items, which will free you up to bring stuff like the flashlight or tac scanner.

Wall hacks are pretty useful imo.

Get a better rig, get more water, get more slots

Not if they don't tell you where the enemies are.

The one I found certainly didn't.

The tac scanner does, it highlights enemies in red and loot in yellow; through walls.

Only at a short distance though.

It would be really nice if you could trade a gun for stuff like this. Flashlight, binoculars, big distracting cyber-dystopia coin... ETC.
I only need my dear surplus rifle, the second weapon is too much.

Yeah, far too short to matter. At that range, I can just frickin' hear them. Tac camera is useless.

Guys, I Just Want A Flashlight. Why is this too much to ask?

I guess don't use it if you don't like it? I love it.

There is a flashlight, we just told you that.
