Say goodbye to you flashlights. (and free batteries)

Recommended Posts

Just an FYI:  The latest experimental update has done away with the usual spawn loadout.  My flashlight was replaced with a white glowstick and a single rag.  Batteries will become the new peaches/M4/whateverthehellanybodycovets.  Frames also seem boosted plenty-well.

 

edit:  LOL. Misspelled title a bit; oh well.

I actually ended up finding a can of peaches in cherno right by the clock tower, and in the old broken jeeps around the roads.

Now I'm curious, do you mean actual can of peaches or batteries?

Used to be a flare in the mod.....

 

the chemlight though is much better, it lasts longe afaik (at least in the mod they lasted half or a full hour - can't remember, and they are better for lighting stuff up to find it rather than tell everyone where you are from a mile away

I knew it was all those flashlights that was hogging the performance.

i would love if you could set zombies on fire with them, then they would be my favorite weapon of choice!

 

or wait, why not break open a chemlight and pour it over a zombie? it would look like an undead in a white suit dancing in a darklight disco

Don't forget you can make torches in .57. Stick + Rag = Torch. You can peel bark off a tree and Bark + Stick = Firedrill so you can light your torch. Flashlights are so .55.

I'm a little sad that I can no longer collect all of those discarded batteries on my way back from the coast.

Since no one is currently using flashlights anyways this makes a little more sense. At least you don't have to rip up your shirt right away for cloth now.

One of the first things I usually do is throw my flashlight at the first person I see. Looks like it'll be a glow stick from now on...

Why do we spawn with anything? :|

I prefer this vs Rust where you just spawn with a giant shlong.

I can only speak for myself, but it is rare that I have nothing in my pockets; even inside my own house. Wouldn't be caught dead without a working BIC lighter and my pocket knife.

Why do we spawn at all? Isn't that the great question?

 

Personally what I've always got in my pocket is a set of keys and my wallet. Not sure what uses keys would have, maybe opening cans or something, but... a light stick and a rag is not so bad, I totally support giving a light source because spawning at night without one would be weird, and the rag is great because it means you don't have to immediately rip your shirt off when Chernarus starts kicking your ass.
