Flashlight pool

[belphegor_goatzombie 100]

I wander how many people keep their flashlight.

[call him Steve 46]

I keep both until I need something more. Like food, rags, battery, and then light. However if I come across a mag for a gun, well bye bye light.

[irishroy 1347]

Throw away the flashlight, keep the battery for a Stunbaton or Cattle prod.

This.

 

Even just cans of food, fruit or drink though. It really doesn't take much to convince me to drop the flashlight.

I keep both, battery in flashlight, I just figure it's a good battery storage device. Later I'll usually put the battery in a cattleprod or stun baton if I find them but I'll tend to hang on to the flashlight in a shirt pocket (items go here I don't mind losing) unless in the beginning I find something amazing like a can opener where I absolutely must get rid of the flashlight. Usually I get more slots fast enough that it's never that much of a problem.

I throw both away.  Nothing I want uses a battery.  I don't use goofy attachments and I use chemlights at night.  

[pillock 850]

When walkie talkies are functioning, I will keep the battery.

 

Until then, the both of them get chucked in the sea.

Is there even a need for a flashlight?? Has night time been brought back??

Exactly! If I get to the point later in a character's life where I have the option of adding flashlights to weapons, I'll just pick up a battery at some point in my looting. It isn't a priority.

 

The most effective way to light up the darkness has and probably always will be the Portable Gas Lamp (bonus points for Large Gas Canister).

You can play at night if you want to. Either deliberately join a server set to nighttime hours or get lucky and find one of the few that has a time period that overlaps day and night (I haven't played in one in quite a while).

Night exists, you just don't see it on many servers.

[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

I tend to combine them to clear space then keep'em until they need to be replaced with higher valued survival items.

[Killawife 599]

I keep the battery incase the first weapon I find is a stun baton. Usually end up tossing it due to lack of space though.

Who here actually uses the flash light instead of turning the settings up?

Night is not really that dark any more.  Looks more like a better looking version of the gamma hack.  It's hard to see inside buildings, and that's about it.

[Deathlove 2286]

I normally throw away the flashlight but i wish it had more practical use than what it does right now. Its a shame one of the most useful tools is currently only a magnet for trolls and bandits right now. I WISH we could make use of it better. Especially with crafting like making a makeshift weapons flashlight attachment of it with duck tape on various pistols and rifles.

I've never turned my settings up but I don't remember when was the last time I used a flashlight.

[Evil Minion 943]

As I strongly believe there should not be any daylight servers on the official hive (and also avoid them whenever possible) I keep the flashlight until I find some kind of upgrade (head torch, weapon flashlight etc.).

 

Now at the moment nighttime is pretty rare (stupid daylight servers/restarts) and very bright (its like permanent clear sky and full moon) there are few true uses for light sources. However, by enforcing a 24 hour cycle on every server they might become useful within the dynamics. Most players would still play during the game but you could join any server during nighttime and exploit that fact or just play there because you like dwelling in the dark.

 

Get rid of those daylight servers, please! They do no good.

[Parazight 1599]

"Give me your flashlight and I may let you live."

"What?  I threw it away!"

"Sucks to be you"  BAM. BAM. BAM. BAM.

this.

same same here.

[TonyMahony 17]

I throw it away. Normally I play on daylight servers so I don't need a flashlight.

And the battery is not needed also, because I don't use electrical tools in that game.

 

To be honest, I don't understand why a fresh spawn has these two items in the pockets.

So people don't complain about not being able to see anything at night.

[skypig 139]

I toss the flashlight out but hold on to the battery in case I find a baton or cow tickler.

if it comes down to space food/drink wins over battery

@Mos1ey Since the last patches you find so many chemlights and flares that you can illuminate whole Novodmitrovsk. ;)

[irl-calibre 744]

nights are so bright now they are pretty much null & void, I still carry one though as  RP demands it, no fecking way would I not have a torch in that situation.
