Glowstick

Glowstick is a small, hand-held light source that can also be thrown. It functions primarily as a portable illumination device usable while carried, and it is designed to be deployed at range by throwing to place light where needed.

The item is compact and intended for short-term illumination of dark areas or to mark locations. Its throwable property allows players to create light at a distance without having to enter a hazardous zone directly. Several localizations describe the Glowstick purely as a portable, throwable light; at least one localization explicitly states it can be thrown to hit or attack enemies, indicating an additional tactical use where the item serves both as illumination and as a simple thrown object capable of impacting targets.

• Carrying: the Glowstick is small and intended to be held or carried easily for on-the-move lighting.
• Deployment: throwing the Glowstick places light away from the player; use this to illuminate corridors, chambers, or points of interest from safety.
• Combat interaction: certain localizations indicate the Glowstick can be thrown at enemies to hit them; treat thrown Glowsticks as a basic ranged interaction if the game implements that behavior.
• Tactical uses: use thrown Glowsticks to reveal ambushes or to bait enemies into lit areas; they are useful for marking routes or signaling teammates in low-visibility situations.
• Limitations: descriptions consistently emphasize its small, portable nature, implying limited duration and light radius compared with larger or permanent lighting solutions.

All core localizations describe the Glowstick as a portable, throwable light; one translation additionally describes it as usable to attack enemies when thrown, so check the game’s implemented mechanics for whether thrown Glowsticks deal any effect beyond providing light.
