russell_deitch Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 How do I light the flare? I can equip it and strike a match (M) but I don't seem to be able to combine the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutter Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 How do I light the flare? I can equip it and strike a match (M) but I don't seem to be able to combine the two.Equip the flare (1 is hotkey) then hold down the left mouse button until it is lit. Right mouse is to throw it.Flares in real life and in this game have a built in striker in the plastic cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric_stanley Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I wondered about this. I had used flares for the first time in my second play through tonight but was just throwing them by right clicking not even thinking I had to light it first. Funny thing is that it still worked to scare away a wolf on two separate occasions and I was able to pick my flare up after. Is this a bug or just really wussy wolves I ran into?
