Where to Find the Flashlight

The flashlight can be found at one of the purple points of interest on your GPS locator (1). When you arrive at the spot, you will see a soldier suspended off the cliff; make your way to the top of the cliff and cut him down (2). Go back to where he fell, and you will see the flashlight lying on the ground next to him (3).

How to Use the Flashlight

The flashlight can be equipped as a light source (held in the left hand), while the player has their weapon out (left hand). If the player runs out of charge for their flashlight, they will need to combine the flashlight with batteries in the inventory. There are reports that the flashlight will not stay equipped as the default light source; in this case, just assign it to one of the hotkeys – if playing on mouse and keyboard.
