Flashlight or Torch not working?

For the other US folks "Torch" is how UK folks say "Flashlight"

I found it's linked to the livery level of suit customization. I can have my Pathfinder suit, and pathfinder chest and legs, or my drifter suit and Drifter chest and legs, but not mix and match.

Mix and match seems to be ok for the shoulders, forearms and boots. Helmet also doesn't seem to matter.

Apologies to the folks who owned some of the settlements I couldn't see in, plasma rifle made an ok back up torch.

It's probably the torso item? I don't know if it's the model blocking the torchlight, or (worse) it just doesn't include one. Bit of an oversight I think!

That's my thought too but I didn't check pants.

On the character portrait you can see the light is missing, seems the back pack doesn't spawn and the light then isn't there.

From what I've seen, the teal variant of the Maverick suit is bugged. If you switch to it, the flashlight will disappear when you finalize your loadout. Same goes for the Pioneer suits, sadly (so much for a preorder bonus :rolleyes:). You'll have to use the other Maverick variants (sand or green) for the flashlight to work properly for now. Incredibly nearsighted of the devs to make the flashlight functionality be tied to suit cosmetics in this way, but hopefully it gets fixed in an update.

I am using a standard issue maverick and the light only works about 30% of the time indoors. Light indicator on hud says its on but nothing is illuminated in front of me untill you look in just the right spot, usually looking up at a 45 degree angle will get it to blink on for a moment.

I found out if you start with the suit, adding bits and pieces will remove the light. If you start with default suit, add teal bits and pieces and add the teal suit as the last piece, it will stay.

In any case, if the suits preview screen (so not the suit you see when changing its appearance) does not show the left shoulder bracket, you'll have no flashlight in game.
Just faff about until it does.
