Matchsticks are commonly used to craft Torches and Molotovs. They can also be thrown to light things on fire, particularly trails of Gasoline. Note that Lanterns do not need any Matchsticks.

When equipped, holding the right mouse button lights the Matchstick, while the left one throws it fairly accurately at the location the mouse cursor is pointing at. Once lit, the Matchstick will always be consumed even if the throw is cancelled, much like the Flare.

As an alternative, the Matchstick makes for a rather inferior light source compared to the Torch, only able to emit a faint circle of light similar to the FoV circle surrounding the player in terms of the size.

They can be bought from Trader, The Three, Wolfman, and Piotrek for 6 Reputation each. Seeing how Matchsticks are rarely used and commonly found, they will practically never run out.

Matchsticks alone cannot produce enough fire to cause any damage, such as burning off Worms.

Trivia[]

  • Matchsticks and Flares function somewhat similarly in terms of mechanics. However, Flares are far more superior due to their longer glowing duration and resistance to Shadows.
  • On the second Pre-Alpha Trailer, the Matchsticks have the flavour text of "Sets things on fire".
