Dynamo led flashlight and high power flashlights

Recommended Posts

i suppose that this is kind of an extension of the "players starting only with a flash light" debate but after a quick forum search i did not find anything on what i am about to suggest.

The flashlight in DayZ is a pretty essential tool when it comes to night time playing but i find it to be a bit too efficient.

So i would like to suggest the addition of a dynamo powered led flashlight that of course would be way more common than the normal flashlight (as it is in real life, ok kind of debatable but you should at least have one in your car).

The upside of these things is that you can recharge them by hand and are small and light, the down side is that they don't illuminate all that far and you need to power them up very often and they make a bit of noise when charging. I'd say it is a fair balance.

There are 3 kind of these. The ones with the crank and the trigger pump that you can charge while aiming (at a very low luminosity) and the shake variant that looks like you are furiously masturbating. It would be nice to see these 3 in the game with the shake version perhaps regaining power faster.

It would be the ideal beginner flash light.

On the other side of the spectrum i would also like to see big high power flashlights that of course drain battery way faster than the normal ones but illuminate further and wider.
