Fleshlights are OP

[mattdudeyeah]

The nerfs didn't even help. Too soft. Every time I go to pick up a survivor I get blinded and drop them. Do you think the dev team will consider more nerfs?

fleshlights are op for the p e n i s

[Just Hitting My Stride]

Try looking at walls and making sure there isn't survivors nearby.

[GrayV-Horse]

They are annoying, but utilize lightborn to mitigate the problem.

Otherwise, scan immediate surroundings and face yourself against a wall or area that survivors would have difficulty flashing you.

What's the point of the flashlight if you can't save a teammate with it?

[Red Luster YT]

Try franklins demise, survivors often lose track of their dropped items and each time you hit them holding it they lose even more use.
Hell use Franklins if you just hate items in general, just be careful it gets a lot of salt.

You need the Lisa Ann leather grip add on to get the full use out of it.

[Doom Punk]

They aren't nearly as broken as they used to be.

Please tell me you played when blinds were insta, and white screen too... that could have perma damaged peoples' eyes it was that awful.

There's this really op strat that completely counters flashlights. Its pretty complicated so listen closely. You can use the mouse on your personal computer to control where the viewmodel of your character is facing and by using this technique you can look up or down and be totally immune to them. Its hard I know but if you practice enough I think you can get it down. :)

[STRWBRY]

Looking at a wall/any surface you cannot be blinded from on pick up completely mitigates this. Additional effective options include Franklin's Demise and Lightborn.

[Mordecai]

Just learn to play.

[Shaman]

you cant nerf stupid. Sry man but there is no helping you

[Ryu the Fox]

Fleshlights... I don't know what game do you play but DbD doesn't have fleshlights

[Alsend_Drake]

Was hoping for an awesome joke.

"They're op, cuz when they're around things get too... HARD" or something like that


Anyways, once you know they're doing saves, either fake pickups, look at walls, spin around then pickup to throw em off or simply look up.

You do realize you have to look up or down right or fake the pick up? Do you want truly all skill removed from this game on the killer's part? Also you can spam R to drop a survivor and flashlight won't work - you can always run the perk as well. GIT GUD scrub.

I will note they're removing dropping a survivor right after a pickup to dodge a stun escape next patch iirc, as I recall that being mentioned on the PTB
