Fallout 4 is the last part of the RPG series in which you can explore the open post-apocalyptic world, pump your character and encounter interesting heroes. In this article, you will learn how to turn on the flashlight in Fallout 4 and what you need to do to do this.
What is a flashlight for?
In a similar game, you often have to explore dungeons and dark places. Also in the world after a nuclear war there are many abandoned and extinct shelters in which you will also need additional lighting to inspect every corner of the premises and collect all the loot.
In Fallout 4, most of the functions can be used using hot keys, a list of which is in the game settings. The character wears a special Pip-boy computer on his hand, which plays the role of inventory, map, quest journal, etc. It also has a built-in light bulb that you can activate and light your way in the dark.
How to turn on?
We'll figure out how to turn on the flashlight in Fallout 4. You can open a regular Pip-boy with a single click on the Tab key. After that, the computer interface will appear on the screen. And to activate the flashlight, you must briefly hold down the Tab key. After a few seconds, the light will come on. This will be noticeable in third-person view, as the character’s hand will begin to sparkle. But it is best to use a flashlight with a first-person view, as the light bulb will illuminate the entire space in front of you several meters ahead. To turn off the lighting, just hold Tab for a few seconds again, after which the light turns off.
There are flashlight mods in Fallout 4 that will change the look of the Pip-boy himself, as well as the type of glow and the color of the bulbs. With the help of such modifications, you can configure not only the design, but also the characteristics of the lamp (range, glow, radius, and so on). Use the variability of the game mechanics to adjust the controls and gameplay to your preferences!
