The UV Flashlight is an equipment item in Dying Light.
Overview
Unlike the normal flashlight, this flashlight will run out of power after long usage, but its battery will regenerate over time. It is used for burning and stunning Volatiles at night. It is also used to drain the stamina of the player controlled Night Hunter to stop it from using its locomotion tendrils.
Strategy
- The UV flashlight can be used to stun Volatiles which can be effective on roof tops as it can cause them to step off the roof.
- With the backlash skill, the player can use the UV light while looking over their shoulder making pursuits at night easier to escape.
- The UV light can also interrupt the Night Hunter's pounce attack leaving them vulnerable to a counter attack.
- In addition, it can be used to interrupt the tackle used by the Night Hunter, preventing stunning and damage.
- If all of the Night Hunter's stamina is drained by the UV flashlight, it will flash bright orange and appear to be on fire, during this, it will be unable to flee, presenting an opening to kill it. This does not cause the Night Hunter to take any extra damage, only make it far easier to hit.
