The world of STALKER immerses players in a world drenched in darkness and decay, where the scars of a catastrophic past mar the beauty of nature. The visuals are hauntingly bleak, with fog-choked forests, abandoned ruins, and crumbling buildings bathed in the eerie glow of radioactive twilight.
On top of all this, the players are forced to face these dark visuals and fight horrifying mutated monsters without a proper light source! Interestingly, players in STALKER 2 always have a flashlight on them but due to a glitch, the game doesn’t notify them about it after the tutorial.
1. How to use the Flashlight in STALKER 2?
To turn on your Flashlight in STALKER 2:
- Press the ‘Tab‘ key and then the ‘E‘ key on your Keyboard; or

You can use the same keys to toggle the flashlight on and off. Note that first you need to open up the weapons menu and then you can select the key assigned to the flashlight as seen in the bottom right of the weapons menu.
These keys may differ for every player depending on their key assignments.
Interestingly, unlike usual horror games, STALKER 2 doesn’t have the concept of battery drainage. Thus, just keep it on all the time no matter if it’s dark or not.
In case, you still feel like the game world is just too dull for your eyes, you can also try brightening up the display from the game settings.
