How to Buy Items in Content Warning

buying items in content warning

First off, let’s talk about how to actually buy items in Content Warning. Once you’ve got a bit of money, leave the prep house and look for the item store totem just on the left side of the garden. Interact with it to access the full store, then pick and choose whatever you want to buy.

After you’ve made your selection, all the items you bought will get dropped down to you via a carrier drone.

All Content Warning Items

There are a total of 12 items you can get in Content Warning right now. Here’s a list of every item, its use, and its price:

ItemEffectPrice
Old FlashlightActs as a light source$20
FlareActs as a light source$40
Modern FlashlightActs as a light source$150
Long FlashlightActs as a light source$200
Modern Flashlight ProActs as a light source$500

Boom MicImproves audio quality$100
ClapperIncreases your number of views$100
Goo BallStuns monsters for a short period of time$150
Shock StickStuns monsters for a slightly longer period of time$400

While there are six types of light sources in Content Warning, the Old Flashlight is the cheapest, and also the weakest. On the other end of the spectrum, you’ve got the Long Flashlight Pro, which is the most expensive, but also serves as a much stronger light source, and it lasts longer as well. As you progress through the game and rack up more money, you’ll eventually be able to buy better flashlights.

You’ll also want to take some support items with you, such as the Boom Mic and Clapper, which will help to increase the quality of your footage and also increase your views, which will in turn increase the amount of money you make.

All Emotes You Can Buy in Content Warning

In addition to items, you can also purchase quite a few emotes in Content Warning. These are purely cosmetic and will have no bearing on your gameplay whatsoever, but hey, who doesn’t love a good emote?

EmotePrice
Applause$100
Confused$120

Ancient Gestures 2$220
Yoga$500
Workout$750
Thumbnail 1$800
Thumbnail 2$900
Ancient Gestures 1$1,000

These can be insanely expensive, so you’ll definitely want to prioritize gear first before you start splurging on emotes.

Music

In addition to the items and emotes, there’s also a Music tab in the item store. However, it’s still empty at the time of writing, and it’s likely that we’ll get them later on down the line. For now, just keep this in the back of your mind and we’ll come back to it once it gets added into the game.

Best Items to Get First

Finally, let’s go over some of my picks and recommendations for the best items you should get in Content Warning.

Your mileage will vary of course, but here’s what I’ve found to be extra helpful in my own runs:

  • Long Flashlight
  • Goo Ball
  • Boom Mic
  • Clapper

The Long Flashlight is pretty decent even if it’s not necessarily the best money can buy in Content Warning. It gets the job done, doesn’t break the bank, and will likely serve you well for most of your runs. You’ll also want to consider picking up the Goo Ball to help you deal with enemies and unexpected encounters, and if you use them properly, chances are good that you won’t even need to heal or revive anyone.

Finally, the Boom Mic and Clapper are great for just increasing the quality of your videos to help you earn more money, and more money means better gear and more cosmetics. These aren’t really priority items, but once you’ve gotten a good feel for how the game plays, you’ll find that these can be invaluable during your runs.

And those are all of the items currently available in Content Warning.
