PC Does the burning shaft mod attract enemies?

[keesio]

I have a burning shaft mod on my spear. It looks pretty cool. My build is stealth based however and I'm wondering if the mod attracts enemies.

Yes. The burning shaft mod emits light and will mess with your stealth.

If by attracts enemies you mean nearby zombies will see/detect you better, the answer is most definitely yes. Just look at the stealth meter when holding a weapon/tool with burning shaft vs. putting it away.

However, I'm not sure whether the mod itself adds to heat meter, which when that reaches 100%, a screamer will spawn (similar to a torch hanging on the wall of your base or running forges/chem stations/etc.). If it does, I bet that amount is small and that it would only add to the heat generation while holding it.

If you have a drone, you can stick a lamp mod on it and strangely, it's light will not mess with your stealth.

Thanks folks. I guess I will use it sparingly when stealth is not an issue (like horde nights)
