Flares are visually identical to [[Radar Jammer]]s and [[Power Drain]]s save for their varying colors; flares have a yellow glow. When a player picks up a Flare, the equipment piece is represented on the [[HUD]] by a circle with multiple rays coming from it.

Though Flares can be [[Forge]]d into every map in the game, they do not appear in any maps by default. They used to spawn in [[Guardian (Level)|Guardian]] and [[Isolation (Level)|Isolation]], but were removed during a title update as a result of the [[Equipment Jumping]] glitch, which allowed players to use Flares and other items to reach inordinate heights in [[Matchmaking]]. Because of this, Flares are only useful in modified map variants and some [[Campaign]] levels.
