So, the new flare gun is hilarious

It looks cool and has neat implications, though the limited ammunition will quickly be an issue. I made a new Pilgrim save game just to get it and mess around with it.

I'm sure it will have more significance in the Store Mode, but in sandbox I assume it was included to be an offensive weapon. I tried it out on a wolf, and busted my side laughing:

It's pretty effective, though I haven't tried it on a bear yet. And hey, if you need to leave a body to ome back to it later, the flare keeps keep track of its location!

(Not really though, the flare itself lasts only about a minute. You can see the flare from quite far away though, for what it's worth)
