Flashlight stun while picking up a survivor...

[Gregg Wallace]

So I've been playing this game recently after a break of about a year or so, and I see that survivors can still make a killer drop someone by blinding you while stuck in pick up animation. I'm surprised this is still a thing. Is there actually any plans to fix this?

Well kinda, for one insta blinds seems to begone - thanks to mathiew (we did a pretty good job so far guy, or I think its him at least). But when you pick up one of your victems face a wall or some other obstecale to prevent survivors blinding you.

yeah its still a thing but the broke ass lightsabers have finally been fixed. as it stands right now its pretty hard to do, and is totally evaded if you pick them up safely

[Duushe]

like the guy anove me said. the solution is to face sonething or give a good walk around and whack survivors before picking up.

Thing is, if they did, flashlights would be kind of useless, wouldn't they?

Actually, I thank the koreans for that, not the dev

If I get blinded and drop a survivor it should be because I didnt avoid it, not because the guy happens to have a purple flahshlight, there are no walls to look at around and I'm stuck in an animation enough time for him to completely blind me so I instantly drop the survivor after the pick up animations ends

No, survivors would just have to pull off a blind while the killer is actually able to move.

Equip Lightborn. You cannot be blinded during the pickup or pallet break animation. :)

I dont understand why they didnt removed the flashlight.

With insta flashlights, that's not a thing anymore, unless the killer isn't that skilled.

But going back to topic, it will never be removed, cause it is mostly one of the only things that surivors can do against killers directly and it was what the devs wanted from the first.

I don't mind it, I know that with swf can be hard as hell, but if you think there is a flaslight close, just try that they aren't nearby enough to get you, but be fast cause the downed survivor can recover enough so one of his teammates can heal him in a sec.

Yeah, I mean they already removed insta-blinds and their only use is to save people with it now. If they remove that too, then flashes would just be cosmetics.

Which is impossible. Due to the flashlight nerfs you can't blind a killer that's not stuck in an animation. He just has to look up/down a bit.
You probably never played survivor and you have no idea how flashlight work.

But we can have a deal, bring back instablinds, remove the blind in animation. Pick one.

It's always funny to see the survivors try to blind you with lightborn ;D

Hey funny thing is; in the offical handbook for the game it says you can use flashlights to "light the way"
