Dropped flashlight. How can I get a character reset?

[Ikkok 0]

Just started playing DayZ today. I tried to find out how to equip my flashlight by pressing bunch of random stuff and it turns out that I've dropped my flashlight. It's night time in every server I join so there's a good chance of me not finding my flashlight. Can I get a character reset so I can start off with a brand new bag? Thanks.

Just click re-spawn. To be honest though, you really shouldn't use the flashlight, it will just get you killed.

no, if your really desperate for a new flash light then you have 3 choices

1) find one

2) restart by getting killed/clicking respawn from game menu

3) kill someone and take thiers (provided you have some way to kill them)

and on the upside if you fail at option 3 you get to automatically go with option 2

Respawn. Hit esc, and then respawn. Abort to lobby, and rejoin. To use a flashlight; right click it while it's in your toolbelt and equip it. Read the DayZ wiki. It will make things easier for you.

Dropped your flashlight, eh? Don't respawn. You're already further along than you started.
