The Flashlight is equipment in Dying Light gained during the events of Awakening

Overview[]

It allows Kyle Crane to see in dark areas and at night, providing a circular area of visibility in the player's sight-line. It is available from the start of the game and as such allows players to traverse dark places even in the beginning. Unlike other equipment, the flashlight can not be found in the players inventory, and can not be removed.

There is usually no downside to turning on the flashlight though its limited visibility does mean that in certain levels, Night vision boosters are preferable. The one upside the flashlight has is that it does not hinder the player once it gets bright and can be turned off at any point. Just keep in mind that certain events can cause the flashlight to automatically turn on or off

Hard Mode[]

In Hard Mode or Nightmare Mode the flashlight can only be used for a limited amount of time as it will dim and eventually turn off. This essentially forces players to turn it off and on occasionally, adding another layer of resource management in the dark/ It's recommended that you keep your flashlight off when you are safe or can see.

Trivia[]

  • In most Outfits, the flashlight can be seen taped onto Kyle's right shoulder, presumably to keep his hands empty
