@torokszabolcs12@Drewzpher@tarkovtips It just seemed a bit weird when I tried it after 1.0, the lit flare sinks so fast compared to the handheld. It also weighs 0.6kg compared to 0.2kg for handheld. Storing a red flare could be useful. It's faster to equip and looks cooler as well. Mostly preference like you said
@Drewzpher@torokszabolcs12@tarkovtips For what it's worth I've never failed a flare extract since 1.0, only used handheld. Run/walk up to the zone, wait for the "signal flare area" to pop up, shoot the flare at 70-75 degree angle standing still or walking. Can usually start running immediately, or wait for message.
@torokszabolcs12@Drewzpher@tarkovtips I always shoot the handheld at like a 75 degree angle, I prefer the handheld because it's expendable, and seems less finicky than the flare gun. Just noted that in the clip it's shot at a very steep angle
@Smthingedgy Cat bites and scratches can cause sepsis which definitelt can and does kill. Just like a snake is too small to kill you outright but the venom can still kill.
