No more flashlight on start?

Recommended Posts

Using a flare is like painting a bullseye on your head.

There hasn't been a flashlight on spawn for a while now (can't remember if it changed .57 or .58). With the way nighttime is it's unlikely you'll ever need to use it anyway. At least a glsit can light a fire

Wasn't a fan of the change myself, I thought the flashlight was a good tutorial for new players.

Flares are great for getting the attention or would-be attackers.  Then you just throw the flare in their direction, temporarily blinding them to the darkness in the distance, and run your bambi-ass out into the wood as if you knew what you were doing.

 

Remember friend, there is no shame in running away; especially if faced with a pair of Lewis machine guns...
