A big aspect of the game I want to emphasize is "Search and Rescue", where players and their squad of AI will have to navigate through rural areas and have limited methods of communication. I think using the flareguns as a big component of gameplay to signal for supplies, rescue, or find other survivors is a unique and fun concept. Also, they look really cool at night, and can be used as a weapon if you are really desparate.
