Flare Gun
A Flare Gun is a rare item that primarily functions as a long range "STOP" item against the Hunter and the Fiend. It can be fired 3 times before it is rendered useless. When it spawns it is usually found in a power-locked or a barricaded room.

Uses and Effects[]

Hitting the Fiend or the Hunter with a flare will halt their movement for roughly a second, potentially saving your life during a chase. Alternatively it can be used to lure any of the three monsters to the location of the flare, particularly the Brute who is otherwise unaffected by flares. The sound produced by flares lasts around 8-11 seconds.

UI Interactable FlareGun

Flares can also be used to ignite fuel from a distance, and illuminate an area with a similar magnitude to that of a glowstick, however these are both typically considered wasteful of the item's function and potential.

Trivia[]

  • Flare guns are the rarest item in the game, which may be due to them failing to spawn. But they are also only able to be obtained through power locked and barricaded rooms.
  • Flares only last for a few seconds before expiring, and cannot be picked up or re-used once fired. However the model of the flare shell will remain in the spot of where the flare was before expiring. This is not able to be interacted with and rather there for decoration after the shot.
  • The speed it takes for the flare gun to reach its target depends on how far away it is. A long distance shot would probably take around 1.5-2 seconds to fully reach the target. Mid range would take 0.5 to 1 second.
  • By shooting The Brute with the Flare Gun, The Brute will not be affected. However, you will get an achievement titled "I Don't Know What I Expected".
  • In earlier versions of Monstrum, a flare gun was guaranteed to spawn in the storage containers near the Helicopter, however this is no longer the case and in fact no items ever spawn within those containers at all.
  • The flare gun is not an escape route and cannot be used to signal help.
  • On the barrel, the name "DART" can be seen faintly on the side, a nod to the person who designed it, Adam Dart.
  • The flare gun is not based on any model.
