The Torch is a weapon found in the Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC pack.

Description

It is a makeshift weapon consisting of a short stick with a rag or cloth tied around the top. The rag is then doused with fuel and set alight. The torch can be used to light up dark areas, it can burn coffins in Cemeteries and can also be used to set the Undead and Undead Animals on fire.

The torch can also be used to perform Executions if the player uses it in close quarters while directly facing an attacking Undead. If done correctly, the view will briefly switch to a cinematic in which the player impales the Undead through the eye or the back of the head (depending on the player's position) with the sharp end of the torch's handle.

The torch is available in Undead Overrun for use as a last resort weapon, or to conserve ammunition once the clock has stopped ticking.

Obtaining

When looking for survivors in Blackwater, Marston is given the torch by a young lady, before heading to the Blackwater Cemetery to cleanse it.

Trivia

War, one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse, is scared by the torch when attacked, even though it is on fire itself.
The torch essentially replaces the Hunting Knife as the player's close quarters combat weapon in Undead Nightmare.
- When targeting an enemy with the Torch, Marston will often use his knife fighting quotes.
A good tactic is to ride past foes in sweeping motions on a horse, swatting enemies with the Torch while passing, essentially a "hit and run" strategy. This guarantees an instant kill on most undead, along with being a major help with the Undead Hunter Challenges.
The torch is noticeably much weaker in Undead Overrun, to the point where it deals almost no damage.
Sometimes a glitch will be found in Undead Overrun where the torch will be replaced with a knife.^{[citation needed]}
Undead animals will be stunned by the torch and may fly up in the air while shaking.

Glitches

(XBOX360 Confirmed) If attacking a uninfected human with the Torch, as it hits the target no hit sound will play.

 ==Description==
-It is a makeshift weapon consisting of a short stick with a rag or cloth tied around the top. The rag is then doused with fuel and set alight. The torch can be used to light up dark areas, it can burn coffins in graveyards and can also be used to slowly set zombies on fire.

-According to Rockstar, the Torch functions exactly how it would be expected: a flaming handle of wood that gives off light. As Undead Nightmare's setting is mostly dark and gray, this could prove to be a useful tool. In Rockstar's demo of the DLC at Comic-Con, it was revealed that the Torch has several other uses. It can be used to burn coffins, a necessary task in one of the DLC's new Graveyards, which function akin to a normal [[Gang Hideouts|gang hideout]]. The Torch can also be used to set enemies aflame. If you attack a bear with a Torch it will run in circles and not attack you, however if you stand still it is likely to come back and attack you.
+The torch is available in [[Undead Overrun]] for use as a last resort weapon, or to conserve ammunition once the clock has stopped ticking.
-The torch can also be used to perform "execution-style" kills if the player uses it in close quarters while directly facing an attacking [[zombie]]. If done correctly the view will briefly switch to a cinematic in which the player impales the zombie through the eye or the back of the head (depending on the player's position) with the sharp end of the torches' handle.
-It is quite useless in The new game mode [[Undead Overrun]] as it is only resorted to when you have ran out of Ammo, and by that time you are likely to be overwhelmed by Zombies and fighting back with a Torch is likely to end badly for you.
