Torch

 is one of the Tier 1 Weapons in The Wild Eight.

Summary
The torch is an equippable weapon which provides light to the player both when equipped and when thrown on the ground. Unlike most weapons, whose durability only goes down through use, the torch durability decreases over time, as long as it is in use. Equipping a torch and switching weapons (using the x key) pauses the durability decrease, allowing for players to conserve their torch durability until needed.

It can scare away aggressive animals.
