Flare

A flare is a thrown weapon that appears in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout 76.

Flare


A flare creates light for a short time. The top needs to be twisted to activate it. When thrown, any targets standing in the vicinity of the flare are treated as if in daylight, making them a lot easier to hit with ranged attacks.

Signal Flare


The Signal Flare is a device that is unused in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage. The inventory image and world model are the same as that of a standard Grenade. It is set to only be usable by the player. It deals almost no damage and has no script assigned to it. After it is thrown, it simply disappears. Mid-flight, however, the red "danger" HUD icon for a grenade will appear on-screen.
