Add FLARE GUN item to game inventory

[SonoftheThrone]

Instead of carrying around a lit flare, how we about have a classic, orange flare gun w/ flare rounds? Shoot it into the sky to possibly illuminate a darkened night as an alternative to a torch, flare, and/or lantern. You could even shoot a flare gun round into a pile of tinder to start a fire. I thought the idea of shooting a flare into the sky on a clear, snowy night would just be beautiful to look at, not to mention realistic.

Remember on the movie Titanic how one was shot into the air to signal for help and also to light the horizon? Beautiful stuff!

Sincerely,

I would also not mind hitting a charging wolf in the snout with one

Good suggestion. On that note, could also be the bear banger pen style launcher.. They can be used to launch signal flares or loud bear deterrent cartridges.. But, I don't think (haven't tried one) the flares from those provide much light, so it wouldn't really be a substitute I suppose. (the bear deterrent ones make almost no light obviously, but would be fun to scare bears and wolves with )

YES! I feel like firing a flare at a wolf would be far better that just throwing one at it, also off topic a little but why don't they add it flare brandishing, like with the torches, as flares don't have any action when you press left click, but it has a 100% chance to scare off a wolf, it would be better than lobbing it and spending 5 minutes trying to pick it up, thoughts?
