The Flier is a printed advertising sheet picked up all over the map. Reading one marks a place on the map and shows a picture of the flier itself.
Fliers advertise all sorts of places. Some point to shops with weapons, tools, food or fuel. Others show real estate listings, job ads, events or areas with heavy zombie activity. A flier can lead a survivor to a good base or a well stocked store.
Fliers are common in post boxes and on magazine shelves. A second version advertises Nolan's Used Cars.
Uses
Reading is the main use. Each flier carries a title, and the title decides which location is revealed on the map. Reading is quick, so a stack of fliers costs little time.
A flier also burns. It works as kindling to start a fire or as a scrap of fuel for a minute or two.
Crafting takes it too. The Make Firecracker recipe accepts a Flier as its paper wrapping. The recipe also needs Glue, Gunpowder and Twine, with scissors that are kept. Sheet of Paper, Brochure, Handwritten Letter and Mail fill the same slot.
Used in Crafting

Locations
Post boxes are the richest source, holding a flier more often than not. Fireplaces in survivor safehouses hold one about a third of the time. Magazine shelves in gas stations, grocery stores and corner stores come next, at about one time in four. Post offices are almost as good. Dressers and side tables in living rooms hold one now and then. Zombies dressed in the Nolan's Used Cars outfit carry a flier about one time in six.
