Lanterns in Outward provide light and are held in the off-hand. Most backpacks also allow lanterns to be hung off of them, freeing the user's off-hand to use other equipment. More powerful lanterns have either greater duration, expanded light radius, or both.
Refueling Lanterns[ | ]
Lanterns that are low or completely out of fuel can be re-fueled by adding the Lantern and one Thick Oil (or Power Coil for the Coil lantern) to a manual craft.
