Fire Crackers

Fire Crackers are one of the items you can find in Friday the 13th: The Game.

They are a common item to find in drawers. Upon activation, they will make a building light up red while Jason is using his Sense ability (similar to turning on a radio). They can be used therefore to fool Jason into investigating a house while you make a getaway. You can even use them as a double bluff; occupy a hiding spot when Jason is near a house you're in to make him think you used the fire crackers as a distraction while you ran somewhere else, when in fact you plan on hiding until he teleports elsewhere in frustration. This strategy only works if Jason hasn't visibly seen you, but since many Jason players will not expect this level of trickery you might be able to completely bluff your way out of danger.

They are also capable of stunning Jason, and since they are treated as an inventory item (instead of being held in hand) they can be used even when you're holding an objective part. As a result you can defend yourself against Jason, but keep in mind it requires careful aim on your part to successfully stun him.

Overall, this is one of the trickier items to use, but crafty players can make great usage of them in order to escape Jason. You also start off with one if you equip the Firecracker perk.
