Lantern

The Lantern is a melee weapon featured in all versions of the Ghost series.

Overview
Today, the term lantern is used to describe many types of portable lighting, but lanterns originated as a protective enclosure for a light source - usually a candle - to make it easier to carry and hang up, and more practical outdoors or in drafty interiors such as passages and staircases where unguarded candles were more likely to be blown out by gusts of air - not just from wind but even opening a door.

Ghost Legacy
Before Ghost Remastered was out, the lantern was seen as only an item used to light up an area point. It didn't have that much of a use in-game as the player would end up using a Baseball Bat instead.

Ghost Remastered
In Ghost Remastered, the Lantern serves the same purpose as it's original self before Remastered, however it can now deal damage to the Ghost.

Pros

 * Able to light up an area
 * Gives damage, unlike it's original self
 * Good range

Cons

 * Deals a low amount of damage
 * Slow to swing
 * Light gives your position away to the Ghost
 * Takes up melee slot

Survivors

 * Use this only if it's necessary, as your light can give the Ghost's position away.
 * If you think the Ghost may be near you, try lighting this up. The Ghost will show up if he's in the area containing light from the Lantern.

Ghost

 * Stay away from the user when he has the Lantern equipped. If you're in the area where light is seen, you will be caught.
 * On a brighter note though, if the survivor has a Lantern equipped, you can spot them easier.
 * Due to the damage and range on it, it is recommended to stay away from the user when you are at low health.

Trivia

 * Unlike it's Ghost Legacy version, you have 2 choices for a melee weapon; the Baseball Bat or this.
 * The one of the first things to be added to Ghost Legacy, along with the Baseball Bat.
 * Going the other way around, the Ghost Remastered version of the Lantern took a while to be added.
 * During the demo stages of Ghost Remastered, bloxxerMan666 was deciding on if either the Bat or Lantern should be the melee weapon, before deciding on putting both in as switchables.
 * This is the second weapon to have their model made by ROBLOX.
