The Flashlights are your primary source of vision when in the dark, as without it, the pitch-black will engulf you. There are two flashlights at your disposal, the normal flashlight, and the strong flashlight. On a mission, you can bring up to 4 of these with you.

–Candle:(15$ each,you can carry 4 each mission)
Candles can be lit using a source of fire such as the lighter (or other candles), which can be used to light up a room and prevent the player’s sanity dropping. Players can purchase candles, but they can also spawn on maps. Similar to the glow stick, the candle can be placed on the ground and will continuously emit light.

–Crucifix:(30$ each,you can carry 2 each mission)
The Crucifix is a purchasable item that is used to prevent the Ghost from entering into a Hunt.

–Glow Stick:(20$ each,you can carry 2 each mission)
The Glowstick, when activated, emits a UV light when thrown. The height of the light is half of a doorway, allowing it to detect fingerprints.

–Head Mounted Camera:(60$ each,you can carry 4 each mission)

–Sanity Pills:(45$ each,you can carry 4 each mission)
Sanity Pills replenish your Sanity level. They will replenish 40% of your sanity up to the maximum of 100%. They are vital for larger locations, allowing you to be safer on a contract for longer periods. This is the only known way to restore sanity. Staying in the light (flashlights don’t count) only prevents your sanity from decreasing.

–Smudge Sticks:(15$ each,you can carry 4 each mission)
Smudge Sticks are a purchasable item that when burned will deter the Ghost from hunting for a period of time. Smudge sticks also appear to sometimes make the ghost roam to other areas. They can also be useful during a hunt to stun ghosts for a short period of time.

–Sound Sensor:(80$ each,you can carry 4 each mission
The Sound Sensor is a sensor that can listen to the most quiet sounds and vibrations in the air. It covers a large area enabling players to narrow down the ghost room on large maps. This gets displayed as data at the van.

An upgraded version of the flashlight. It is quite self-descriptive: it creates a much brighter light than the flashlight, making navigation in the dark that much easier.
