Flare Gun

The Flare Gun is a weapon that shoots Flares that deal a very small amount of damage and ignite enemies. The flares are fired in a slight arc, stick to walls, similar to Sticky Bombs and Sticky Glowsticks, but have a much higher velocity / range and emit an orange light. The muzzle of the gun displays sparks and emit light similar to the flares. Flares can be fired out of and into water. Flares can be found in chests and bought from the Merchant for 7 copper while a Flare Gun is in the character's inventory. Blue flares are also available for purchase from the Merchant. The Flare Gun can be found in Gold Chests.

Tips

 * The Flare Gun can be especially useful against the Brain of Cthulu's first phase if used to ignite the eyes.
 * To conserve Flares in the early-game the spark effect from the Gun can be used as a light source while the Flare Gun is equipped.
