The Upgraded Stick (formerly the Fire Torch, still commonly known simply as the torch) is a craftable tool, light source and melee weapon that was added in update v0.05 of The Forest
Gameplay[]
The main purpose of the Upgraded Stick is to be used as a fire torch. It can be set on fire with the lighter to create a useful light source. However, it may be possible to see further in the dark without it lit. A burning torch will also negate the cold and wet status. Once crafted, it will become a separate tool from regular sticks. Collecting any clue item or equipping any other weapon will put out the fire.
As a weapon, the Upgraded Stick only deals little damage to enemies, but is quite effective to block and can be used to set enemies on fire. It swings very fast, and consumes little stamina, making a fairly good gathering (especially for teeth) and hunting tool. It can also be upgraded.
When stabbing the ground with it, the player has a small chance to reveal a small rock or some coins. Because of this, using the upgraded stick to open suitcases has a chance of revealing coins as well as opening the suitcase.
