It’s a challenge to complete a recording of the Old World in Content Warning, but there are some items you can use to make things a tad more bearable for yourself and your friends.
Things such as improved flashlights, for example, will make it easier to see in the deep darkness of the Old World. Other items, though, are just there to provide some extra silly fun!
In this complete guide, we’ll tell you everything about all of the items currently in Content Warning.
Complete Items Guide
Items are one of the most important mechanics of Content Warning. You will need them if you want to make progress to the many contents of the game. They all have distinct and essential uses that you’ll find handy in your gameplay – I’m here to discuss every single one of them and when you can or should use them.
Item Basics | How to Get Them
To get new items, you will need to use the vendor next to your house. It’s a large white display right next to the house, shown above.
Approach it and you’ll be able to buy items from 5 different categories!
To buy items, you’ll first need to get some money. You’ll get money whenever you upload videos to SpöökTube, with the amount of views you get affecting how much money you get.
To make the start easier, you can get the Camera and some free Old Flashlights from the house’s porch. Make sure you don’t miss these, as you’ll need them when diving into the Old World.
Do note that you will never find any useful items while you’re down in the Old World. You’ll, at most, find things like ribcages and the like. Those serve no real purpose, they’re just props.
Now, with that said, let’s dive into all the useful items you can currently buy in Content Warning!
Lights
The lights category, as its name indicates, is for items that are sources of light. Generally speaking, the more expensive items provide much stronger and brighter lights.
Here’s a list of all the items currently available for the Lights category:
- Old Flashlight (20$) – The default basic flashlight. Cheap, but doesn’t provide much light.
- Flare (40$) – Unlike the flashlights, Flares will provide light even when they’re not being held. Activate them and throw them on the ground to illuminate areas hands-free.
- Modern Flashlight (150$) – An upgraded flashlight with a wider area of illumination and a brighter lightbulb.
- Long Flashlight (200$) – Similar to the Modern Flashlight, but with a narrower area of illumination. However, it also has a longer range to compensate.
- Modern Flashlight Pro (500$) – A much better version of the Modern Flashlight, with a much brighter lightbulb and range.
- Long Flashlight Pro (600$) – An even better Long Flashlight, and also the brightest flashlight currently in the game.
Medical
The items in this category are all about healing, though there isn’t much to choose from at the time. Nonetheless, having these items around will be great for keeping your squad healthy!
Now, these are the Medical items on offer right now:
- Hugger (100$) – Allows you to give hugs to teammates, healing them in the process. It can’t revive them, though.
- Defibrillator (300$) – Allows you to revive dead teammates, but doesn’t heal alive players. Can come in clutch if your squad encounters a particularly nasty monster, like Flickers.
We highly advise that your team takes at least 1 Hugger and 1 Defibrillator when venturing deep into the Old World. They’ll come in handy when dealing with the abominations down below…
Gadgets
This is, by far, the most diverse category.
There are items to help with the quality of recordings, items to defend yourself with, and more!
Here are all of the Gadgets you can choose from:
- Reporter Mic (50$) – Drastically improves the audio quality for the player who holds it, making it easier to capture it when recording videos.
- Boom Mic (100$) – This mic doesn’t improve the audio quality much, but it’s attached to a large stick. This allows you to more easily record distant sounds safely, such as noises from monsters.
- Clapper (100$) – Frankly, this Gadget is just for show. It doesn’t really seem to have any particular effect but can be used to goof around a bit.
- Sound Player (100$) – Allows you to add extra sound effects for recordings. Might get you some extra views, but it might also draw the attention of Ear monsters.
- Goo Ball (150$) – A defensive Gadget that you can use to spawn balls of slime. Monsters and players passing through the slime will be greatly slowed down. Great for certain recordings and also for escaping!
- Shock Stick (400$) – An offensive Gadget, deals strong shocks of electricity to monsters (and players). Can be used to stun monsters for a few seconds, giving you an opening to get away from them.
Emotes
This category, which is currently divided into two pages, is just for flavor.
Emotes let you perform various actions, which can slightly improve views when recorded. Viewers will also comment on them sometimes.
Here are all of the current Emotes:
- Applause (100$)
- Workout 1 (100$)
- Confused (120$)
- Dance 103 (150$)
- Dance 102 (200$)
- Dance 101 (250$)
- Backflip p1 (300$)
- Gymnastics (400$)
- Caring (50$)
- Ancient Gestures 3 – Thumbs Up (80$)
- Ancient Gestures 2 – Peace Sign (100$)
- Yoga (250$)
- Workout 2 (350$)
- Thumbnail 1 (400$)
- Thumbnail 2 (450$)
- Ancient Gestures 1 – Flip the Bird (500$)
Misc
This is the final category, reserved for items that simply don’t fit any of the other categories. It’s a bit desolate right now, though, with the only item available being the Party Popper.
Party Poppers, which cost 5$ each, can be used to produce a small bang with an explosion of confetti. It’s nice to use it to celebrate a successful return from the Old World, but not much else!
Also, using Party Poppers while near Ear monsters might draw their attention.
We hope to see this category expanded in the future, but for now, that’s the end of our guide! Now you know what all the items are, and what they all do in Content Warning.
