Lantern

Lanterns are orange glowing objects made by s, obtained from trading or stealing from them. Most Scavengers carry them in dark regions, mainly in Shaded Citadel, but sometimes also in Subterranean.

Utility
Lanterns cannot be thrown as weapons, but can function as a distraction when escaping enemies. Lanterns are extremely useful for traversing dark regions such as Shaded Citadel and Filtration System, as they're the second best light source available, only beaten by eating a, and are almost necessary to platform in dark areas at the beginning of the game.

Lanterns have a 20% chance of spawning every cycle in Scavenger Treasuries in Shaded Citadel or Subterranean, and 5% in other regions. Every object held by a Scavenger has a 60% chance of being a Lantern in Shaded Citadel and 42% in Subterranean, as long as this object is not already a.

In the Downpour DLC Lanterns can also be crafted by, using and.

Trivia

 * Going through Shaded Citadel as the allows the yellow  to outline the area around them, letting the player skip the hassle of obtaining a Lantern.
