Flare Gun/Battlefield V

"The flare gun shoots projectiles which reveal enemies in their vicinity."

- In-game description

The Flare Gun is a gadget featured in Battlefield V.

Singleplayer
The Flare Gun is featured in the chapter "Fraternite Ou La Mort" of the Tirailleur War Story. Unlike in multiplayer, the gadget does not spot enemies. Instead it is used to signal the Senegalese Tirailleurs to move forward and engage the enemy. It features unlimited ammunition and can inflict burn damage if an enemy is hit directly.

Multiplayer
The Flare Gun is issued to the Recon and Pilot kits. Functioning in a similar manner to Battlefield 1, the gadget will spot enemies within a modest radius and can inflict burn damage if an enemy comes into contact with the flare. Unlike the previous installment, however, the spotting radius will become larger if fired into the air and will move as the flare descends by parachute.

Flares may be destroyed with gunfire from either friendly or enemy forces. All enemy flares appear red, while friendly flares are yellow.

Firestorm
The Spotting Flare Gun and Smoke Flare Gun are both featured in Battlefield V: Firestorm. The Spotting Flare functions the same as in multiplayer. The Smoke Flare Gun is a Squad Reinforcement and is available in four rarities. Each rarity determines the color of the Flare Gun itself as well as the smoke it produces when launched.
