The flashlight is an essential piece of equipment that is used to illuminate the area, usually in front of the player.
Usage[]
Toggling (default: right click on mouse) on an equipped flashlight will provide a small conical range of light to improve visibility of the environment. On PC, the flashlight can also be put on the shoulder by cycling (default: scroll wheel on mouse or Q on keyboard) to another item, allowing its use offhand.
Non-VR players can carry only one flashlight at a time, while VR players can have any number of flashlights held or placed onto the toolbelt. Illuminated flashlights will continue providing light from the hips until a player manually turns it off. While on the toolbelt, emitted light will track the player's head movement.
Up to 4 flashlights can be brought on a single contract. One flashlight is always provided per contract as a starter equipment.
During a hunt, a flashlight will rapidly flicker if a ghost is within 10 metres (15 metres if it is a Raiju) and on the same floor. Like other electronic equipment, carrying a lit flashlight within 7.5 metres of the ghost during a hunt on the same floor will attract it.
Tips[]
- Extra flashlights can be dropped within dark areas of the map to provide illumination that remains unaffected by the state of the fuse box (though is subject to electronic interference during a hunt). This may be helpful if a ghost tampers with the lights and/or fuse box frequently.
