what exactly do the flares do?

[ThinkingDarusik]

when should i use them? do they remove the lock on me or do they divert the missiles? should i use them when i hear the lock beep or when i see the missiles launched? i can't figure it out even after multiple experiments

they work by producing a physical block infront of tracking missiles, closest thing Ravenfield can get to actualy working flares

sr7 just added a keybind for flares (default x) and support for detecting when you have a lock on you, this is only available in custom vehicles tho, he is asking how does this work

Flares are now official. Default helicopter, plane, and bomber can use it by pressing X.

Hoooo thats a nice feature but i assume it only works if its a scapel then? I probably havent seen em cause i only set the bots to use slam rs side note can ai with scapels use it against infantry?

i found out that you can both dis-engage locks and redirect missiles. thanks for all your replies
