Flint Strikers & Lighters: A Long Lasting Box of Matches

Recommended Posts

Lighting Fire

   In DayZ, right now, the only source of fire is matches. I want to see a modern way to light fire, cigarette lighters and long-neck lighters, and then an old reliable way to light fire, flint strikers.

Modern Lighters

   Unlike years ago, we have a mass produced a way to light fires easily. I have seen two different styles of lighters. Some look really cheap and disposable, and others look like you'd buy fluid for it.

-Long-neck Lighter-

Unconventional Lighters

   What used to be made for starting fires was strikers. You use these by striking it with a metal piece, or a knife. Lasting longer because of the absence of lighter fluid.

Miscellaneous Lighters

   There are also car lighters, usually used to light cigarettes, but can be improvised to start a campfire, with necessary kindling that can be lit easily.

This topic on lighters can be expanded greatly to include many other ideas.

Lighters have been discussed multiple times,a disposable lighter is enough we don't need the long necked ones. :)

Car lighter would be an awesome item to have ingame though.They should be introduced along with vechicles.

Flint Striker should be a lot less effective than other conventional fire starting equipment

(high chance of failiour-should require multiple tries to start fire).

Yes, I was going to get into a lot more detail about how it was going to work, but it was late when I made this post, so I went to bed
