How To Use The Flashlight In Stalker 2 On Xbox

Stalker 2 has lots of different mechanics and button configurations involved, and some of them can be hard to spot at first - especially on an Xbox controller! We're seeing reports of Stalker 2 being too dark for some players, and while some of that could be to do with display settings, there is also a flashlight available in the game to brighten things up.

Stalker 2 Flashlight Xbox

You can access the Stalker 2 flashlight as soon as you get control of your character in the open world Exclusion Zone. Simply hit Right Bumper (RB) on your Xbox controller, and voila - you should be able to see much better in the dark!

From our experience with the game so far, there's no battery mechanic with the Stalker 2 flashlight, meaning you can use it as much as you want with no real penalty. Enemies might be able to spot you easier with it switched on, but aside from that, the flashlight is always a handy tool to use in Stalker 2.
