"Got some zombies that need distracting? Just toss these little babies at 'em and run right past! ... GOD, zombies are dumb."
In-game description

Firecrackers are equipment in Dying Light.

Overview[]

Firecrackers are an incredibly useful tool acting as a distraction to lure the Infected, giving Crane time to do certain tasks. The decoy can not only provide noise to attract the infected but also create small amounts of lighting at night, although attention must be paid on how many firecrackers are thrown as they can attract the attention of special infected. This can be used to the players advantage. For example, Bombers will explode upon reaching a firecracker, making it a free Exploding Trap Bomb. Volatiles can also be attracted to them, offering a tool for escaping pursuits. Lastly, Goons will occasionally attempt to hit the popping firecracker, damaging other zombies in the horde.

They can later be replaced with Trap Bombs which will draw enemies in as previously described before exploding and applying their effects. Firecrackers will also ignite pools of fuel on the ground, which if connected with a barrel will cause a delayed explosion (note that this will attract virals or volatiles, depending on the time of day). However if the player does not wish to attract Virals or Volatiles, Firecrackers will still have a use.
