A flare gun is ordinary equipment used in an extraordinary fight. It can deliver fire at a distance, but its effect depends entirely on what is being targeted and why fire matters in that hunt.

Holy water exposes and burns many demons. Hunters carry it, spray it, throw it and sometimes bless an entire water system, but stronger demons have shown that the rule is not universal.

Silver bullets work when the creature is vulnerable to silver. They are not a universal monster round, which makes correct identification every bit as important as the shot itself.
