AmericanSteel Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I prepped myself with all the fuel I could muster and searched the mine. I mean I looked that place over as best I could and I did not find any flint. I then exited the game and repeated the process at the Crystal Cave. Again, nothing. Not to say they might not spawn there... but I did not have any luck finding any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Tarling Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 To be honest, the only time I remember "Flint" was in some of the really early versions, and thought the Firestriker was used to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Color me confused.I know about the fire striker, which looks kinda like a fire striker. I have pretty good luck locating these in the radio tower if I flag PV my starting locale.

One of them is the firestriker, another is flint. That would suggest you should be able to find both and Jeremy has confirmed that flint should be in the game, it's just a super rare find. Since nobody seems to have found flint it seems to me it's a little too rare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elloco999 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The icon is probably not correct. The icon for the flint and the firestriker both depict different versions of ferrorods.As for being dangerous, yes they need to be handled with care. But that goes for lighters and matches as well. If you pack your matches in such a way the heads can scrape over the striking surface they can also set your pack alight when you jog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubertFarnsworth Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Bump...bringing this old thread back.Xbox One user....Flint- I see that it is an option when I am lighting a torch. With the community as a whole of probably hundreds of thousands of hours on this game, still no one has found flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfless Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Don't bump threads you haven't even read. Seriously, this mystery has been solved on page two.TL/DR:It existed a year ago but was taken out. It still exists in menu cuz backwards compatibility. Stop looking.

The rumor about flint being already implemented only started because Jeremy confused flint with firestriker. Bethany confirmed this here :You will not currently find this item in-game. I say "currently" because I have no idea for future plans regarding this particular item. Jeremy says he's sorry for leading you on a bit of a wild goose chase. I think we both believed the item was actually available at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
