Flashlight/Gaslamp

Recommended Posts

I think we should be able to place flashlights and gaslamps on the ground while theyre on.  Maybe u can do this already, but I couldnt figure it out.  It would be nice to be able to do this so you can arm yourself at night with weapons without having to have a headtorch.  That or we should be able to equip single handed weapons while holding a flashlight

You can drop a flash light on the ground and turn it on, I do it sometimes at night and "troll" people in experimental servers.

You can already by combining the gas lamp and a butane canister of any variant. Turn it on, drop, and you have your illumination.

oh really? i couldnt do it, i'd turn them both on and drop each, but theyd be turned off when i do it.  My bad, maybe im just doing it wrong.

Latest experimental patch feathers a new light particle that makes the gas lamps actually look like they are lighting up the area , I tried one a while back and it didnt give off any light at all really , but the flashlight should always be on after being turned on and dropped so that's weird ..

I wish they would add more light sources , maybe like solar powered spotlights for when day/night cycle and barricades come in ??

The way it was (That I noticed with the gas lamps) Is that if you turned one on you could put it on the ground and it would light up the area around you. 
Also if you just had it in your backpack or something it did the same thing (You'd basically be a glowing beacon so it wasn't the best thing to do) 
I loved having a gas lamp on me during the night especially with friends (Kinda like a portable campfire to sit around) Only Issue was that when you switched to a different server the lamp you had on your character would stop working. We'd have to find an entirely different lamp to do it again.

I've been really hoping they would fix it.

I cant wait to see flares.. Red flares only so it has that hell on earth vibe like the mod. Hopefully not in 10 pack bundles like the mod either
