How to get a Flashlight in Pacific Drive

Wandering around the spectral wastes of Pacific Drive sure feels extra terrifying when you don’t have a flashlight to illuminate those dark corners. Pacific Drive gives little to no light to you as you make your way through the game, so here’s how to get some.

How to get a light in Pacific Drive

The first handheld, light you can get in Pacific Drive are the road flares. Flares can be grabbed all over the place and are essential. Lighting one will keep certain anomalies at bay, and you can walk with one burning in your hand for a time. Make sure you always have one on you.

Once you’re ready to upgrade your portable light in Pacific Drive, you can start with the Relightable Flare. This is simply a flare you can direct the light from and put back in your backpack. It’s a shoddy replacement for a flashlight, but it’s better than nothing. To unlock this, you must head to the Fabrication Station in the Garage, and with at least 0.4 Stable Energy and one piece of Fabric, you can unlock the Relightable Flare.

Unlocking the Flashlight in Pacific Drive

If you’re looking for something with a little more gravitas than a Road Flare with a bit of tin, then the Flashlight is for you. I would recommend getting it as soon as possible. However, to unlock the Flashlight in Pacific Drive, you will have to head to the Fabrication Station with Unstable Energy, which can only be found in the Mid Zone of Pacific Drive. This means you will have to upgrade yourself and your car significantly before unlocking the Flashlight in Pacific Drive.
