Traffic Cone

The traffic cone is a weapon/infection item which can be found in almost every room in the map and can be useful. This cone can only be picked up by survivors.

It is a small yellow traffic cone which when put on the player (by holding left click), turns them into an infected. Alternatively, it can be thrown as a weapon by holding and releasing the "R" key on your keyboard which can be used to attack infected from a distance or when they're camping in puddles.

It is highly recommended to have one at all times, but just note, you will die if you try and go through the lasers with one in your inventory.

Advantages

 * A moderately powerful ranged weapon; technically the only ranged weapon in the game.
 * The only other ranged weapon is the alarm gun, but is not as useful in terms of damage and is more of a support weapon.

Disadvantages

 * A bit inaccurate and buggy sometimes when thrown.
 * The controls for wearing it can be mixed up for throwing if you're not careful.

Trivia

 * There is a way to "boost" with the traffic cone to get to areas you are normally not supposed to be. (i.e. The bigger boxes in the Tree room or the Tree itself.) It takes time to learn but can be used to escape an impossible fight.
