A flare pistol is used at the start of the mission "Suffer With Me" by a PDF soldier, when Woods and Mason attempt to pass the checkpoint. It cannot be picked up or examined closely, as it vanishes when the soldier is killed. Like all scripted items, it is classed as a prop instead of a weapon in game.
