Emperor (DayZ) 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Pretty much what title says, im having trouble activating my flashlight, i see it says it runs on batteries, however in all my playtime of DayZ about 2 weeks, i've never even seen any batteries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sephka (DayZ) 51 Posted June 23, 2012 Press L to turn it on. I believe they either have a chance to short out, or after a set amount of time they just stop working. I'm not sure if that's true, but my flashlight just randomly stopped working at one point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tilt (DayZ) 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Also, it only works at night. You cannot use it in the day, even in a dark room. So if you play only during daylight hours it won't have any use for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
