I’ll be making more of these posts over time detailing random item suggestions that I come up with off the top of my head. As the title suggests, this post is about lighters, and I’ve several variants here.
Note: Certain items are suggested purely for the sake of discussion and comparison, so many items throughout this series may seem redundant or even controversial. Please keep a clear and open mind and discuss these suggestions in a calm, civil manner.
Disposable Lighter
A butane lighter made of cheap plastic, of a type sold in almost every type of store throughout the nation.
- Cannot be refueled
- The player must hold [LMB] while the item is equipped in order to keep the lighter lit
Metal Lighter
A metal-cased lighter popular with soldiers, adventurers, and outdoorsmen throughout the world due to its mechanical simplicity and reliability.
- Can be refueled using lighter fluid
- If equipped and [LMB] is clicked once, the lighter will stay lit until it is holstered
- Accepts skins and other customization options
- Windproof, will stay lit despite harsh weather
Match Lighter
Consists of a fuel-filled metal shell and a threaded metal rod, which is the “match” and is screwed into the container of fuel. Used in a similar manner to an actual match, but can be used as long as there is fuel in the container.
- Can be refueled using lighter fluid
- Flame lasts for 15 seconds before the rod has to be screwed back into the container to absorb more fuel
Blowtorch
A handheld propane-fueled tool used for repairing, welding, and even cooking.
- Accepts small propane canisters
- Provides a constant source of flame that will burn until the player releases [LMB] or when the item runs out of fuel
- Used in a wide range of crafting recipes, especially those involving metal components
- Can be used to repair vehicles
