Lanterns in Outward provide light and are held in the off-hand. Most backpacks also allow lanterns to be hung off of them, freeing the user's off-hand to use other equipment. More powerful lanterns have either greater duration, expanded light radius, or both.
Refueling Lanterns
Lanterns that are low or completely out of fuel can be re-fueled by adding the Lantern and one Thick Oil (or Power Coil for the Coil lantern) to a manual craft.
