dope25 1 Posted May 22, 2012 For those who came across a military flashlight, how does it differ from the standard yellow flashlight? Does the softer red light not aggro zombies, or is it all the same? I only lived ten minutes after stumbling upon one, so I can't tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteamTrout 18 Posted May 22, 2012 Normal flashlight is pretty much a floodlight. When you turn it on night turns into day for the whole island. When we tried to see how long the light goes I could comfortably navigate 250m away from the guy with the flashlight.Military flashlight is seen from about 50m away.

Nuke (DayZ) 1 Posted May 22, 2012 Nothing happens when i do that and I've played with the Remington, Glock and military flashlight. Also I have not changed keybinds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickie (DayZ) 0 Posted May 22, 2012 Odd, it's how I turn mine on.Obvious questions: you sure it's out and selected?Also, it's not as bright as a generic flashlight, move it around a bit, maybe it is on?Only asking as some people may have missed the obvious, not saying you have.Other than that, just check all is well in your keybindings and it hasn't changed somehow.
