Flashlight and add-on

[Echo Zakarias]

So many people are constantly on about the purple flashlight, but I've been carefully reading the stats of it and the add-ons.

Purple flashlight MODERATELY affects the killer.
Any kind of bulb add-on does not stack the effect against the killer.

Sports flashlight has SLIGHTLY decreased battery drain and no bonus effect against the killer.
The odd bulb add-on however TREMENDOUSLEY affects the killer but MODERATELY increase battery drain.
The low amp filament MODERATELY decreases battery drain and stacks.

Tremendousley > Moderately

So with that said, wouldn't the sports flashlight with purple bulb and reduced battery drain be more powerful than a purple flashlight? Remember, as far as item descriptions go, effect against killers dont stack.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I havent used flashlights all that much against killers.

(and suddenly the community realizes they've been doing flashing wrong for a whole year and killers are more screwed thanks to this revelation)

You've got a point!

Yep, but purple flashlights have slightly less effect and last much longer.

My experience is that purple + odd bulb + intense halogen = alost instant blind. Where di you read that they didnt stack? im 99% sure that they do

It doesn't say it stacks in the description so I automatically assume it doesnt stack. Anything that stacks is cited as "stacks" on effects.

From my experience playing KYF I used the sports flashlight combo and it pretty much did 1-2 sec blinds.

Oh trust me.. Purple Flashlight with purple bulb+green bulb = Unhappy Killer. You can just flick the flastlight and almost instantly blind them.

So is it possible the devs just forgot to write "Stacks" for the bulbs? Because I was thinking to myself that it's a bit odd how it doesn't say and people are running around with double bulb add ons. That and the fact that when we look at real life... how do you actually use 2 bulbs in 1 flashlight?

(I know it's a game so logic doesn't apply but still).
