Flashlight vs Lighter

[Joe Jinis]

Hello there,
I just started the game and I'm wondering if it's normal that the flashlight does nearly no light when the lighter can enlight a full room and further that the flashligth?
Am i suffering a bug? Oo

Have you been recharging your flashlight?

[Marcy]

No, that's just how flashlights work. It's a focused beam versus an open flame.

The focused beam is always going to light up whatever you point it at better than the flame, but the flame radiates a soft glow onto everything around you. In Metro, both have a different use, but achieve the same thing, which is lighting up areas!

I am at the beggining and can't recharge, staying pushed don't do anything.
I understand the use I played the two other Metro, but the flashlight merely "light up" from black to dark grey :s

You can't recharge your flashlight at all?

Hold down the key that your bind to flashlight, this should bring up the charger. The key binds are a little messed up at the moment so you may need to set to default then rebind again.

PS patch has just dropped and hoping it fixed key binds :)
