Flare

Flare can be thrown on the ground to emit red light with large radius. Can be useful in darker areas. However, this can bring enemies to you as the red light is visible from far away. Can be recycled for gunpowder.

If you're running low on Gun Powder this may be a viable option to recycle as they're easy to obtain via a variety of ways (scientists, crates, guards etc.).

The Flare has 2 throw options.
  • Left click performs a far throw
  • Right click performs a close drop

Very usefull against scientists in the military tunnels. Suprisingly good.
If you don't have any weapons or equipment, you can throw these into groups or bases of other people at nighttime and draw attention to them, leading to fights, to corpses and free gear.

Good for harassing active bases that you may be passing by during the night.
