2v8 Flashlights

[Diesel]

Killer needs to be able to look away from them. As it stands now, there's no counter. Maybe if the other killer happens to be near by and is paying attention but there isn't anything a killer can do to avoid it so it's a "get out of jail free" card that is just handed off.

That's the point of the pickup animation. Otherwise flashlights would be useless in 2v8, aside from blinding the killer during the pallet break animation, which doesn't do a whole lot on its own. The counters are slugging for a second to make sure nobody is around, faking the pickup to trick anyone hiding to leave their spot, kicking a gen if you're near it to reveal close-by survivors, or facing a wall to deny the blind.

killers indeed can play proactive pick up survivor with wall to your face then your 100% cant be flashed and saved . kinda common sense for a killer tbh

Most killers just point themselves into a wall, also the flashlights are by chance. It isnt that problematic.

Thanks. New to the whole 2v8 thing and was real surprised when I was locked during the pickup. This helped

Or this weird unique thing available only in this mode called "working with your teammate"
So many killers seem to forget they have a partner in this mode.

I had a perfect flashlight save ready, killer went for the pick up, I jump out to beam them, only to get smacked in the face by the 2nd killer. Was upset i missed the save of course, but was also cool to see them actually working together like that and protecting each other!

I may be wrong, but the hillbilly can't be blinded in 2v8 this time around? I have tried several times in several different ways against a few different players and I don't even get the audio que? Could be a me issue, but I haven't had any problems blinding other killers out of hooks, pallets, etc.

я думаю что это афигенная вещь которую они добавили в 2v8

The amount of times I've run into Flashlights is slim to none. You have to work to get one in the match. A lot of chests just have toolboxes/medkits. If you get hit with a flashlight on your pickup thats just unfortunate and youll have to play around that in the future of the match knowing that it exists.

If you think flashlights are bad, wait until people just go down on top of pallets and you can't chase the other people away, or actually pickup the slug.

You just kinda have to accept you didn't actually down someone because they decided to go down on a pallet.
