=Usage=
Flares are a single-use item that can be lit, carried, and/or thrown to create a temporary source of light. They can be used in low-light situations such as [[Nuclear Reactor|reactor]] power-up, power failure, cave diving, and [[Alien Ruins|Alien Ruin]] exploration.


A lit flare will burn for 400 seconds, or 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Lit flares flicker throughout their burn time.

Flares will continue to burn outside of the submarine at no duration or brightness penalty.

A flare is activated by holding it, and pressing {{Key|Mouse|Left}} LMB. It is thrown by holding {{Key|Mouse|Right}} RMB, and then pressing {{Key|Mouse|Left}} LMB. Throwing a flare will also activate it.

The Flare is a consumable, throwable, light-emitting item in Barotrauma.

Usage

A flare is activated by holding it, and pressing Left Mouse LMB. It is thrown by holding Right Mouse RMB, and then pressing Left Mouse LMB. Throwing a flare will also activate it.

Active flares radiate a red, flickering light in a 6.0m radius for 400s (6min 40s). Unlike Glowsticks, they will sink in the water once dropped or thrown.

Both flares and glowsticks will attract the attention of many creatures, potentially providing a useful distraction.
