flashbangs not working?

[✪ Franklin]

has anyone else had issues with flashbangs not working since the update today?

[Guardian116.TTV]

they have been doing the same for a couple of days now, Im starting to think its a hack killers are using rather than a bug, but who knows.

They were acting up for me yesterday, too. I stopped trying to use them and went back to trying to do my blinding tome challenge with a flashlight.

[Wesker's Aneurysm☆]

I usually face the issue when there's no flashbang SFX before it gets dropped. As a killer it can be frustrating. Don't know if they fixed that bug.

I ain't hearing them hit the ground whatsoever as killer

Killers are still chasing while blinded, and i know for a fact 100% they are blinded because i get the points for it. Its only certain killers and not all so are Killers using a hack to prevent blindness. I have reported every killer so far with a possible hacking note just in case as well as possible bug and video evidence of them staying committed to the chase just so they dont get banned if not cheating.

Flashbangs only blind you, You can still track with hearing ya know that right?

I follow and track people while fully blinded all the time because I got good headphones and also been blinded at a pallet a million times so got practice following footstep sounds. Run silent step or whatever it's called and run your test again and you'll see the results be completely different

[Guardian116.TTV]

same results with silent running perk.

[Guardian116.TTV]

bangs are either bugged or Killers are using a 3rd party program and people dont want the knowledge of it to get out. Its one or the other

[a little loopy]

"same results with silent running perk."

I can back up that headphones pretty much disregard a blind, I'm actually quite surprised how close I am to the survivor after I come out of the blind. Like phasing with the Spirit, so to speak. Other than that, idk.

being able to chase while blind is a skill any killer player should hone. just because you can't see doesn't mean you can't hear a survivor's breathing or footsteps and use those to continue to follow them

Its one basic thing to learn in this game is how to follow someone if you get blinded. One main area where I dominate with it is with pallet break blinds. People who do that against me quite often either don't get distance at all as I will follow them by the sounds they make or they get hit right after the blind ends as I am on top of them already. Hurt survivors are so easy to follow when blinded as they make so much noise. Against an experienced killer blinding is not that big of a hinderence but it does depend of the situation.

oh I agree completely. oft times I can still follow a survivor fairly well just using audio. It's why I called bs on that guy and their claim of killers using hacks to prevent the blind. could they potentially actually be doing that? maybe. they could also be someone like me who has learned how to chase blind

I've had this issue since the last months, when playing killer I've been blinded several times 'cause I can't hear the sound of flashbangs hitting the ground. A bug that apparently the devs don't know about.

[Bubba]

the missing sound bug again.

[Rank21]

How can you be so sure that is a bug ? Sometimes you can hear the sound, sometimes you doesn't when you logically should. And sometimes, a random visual Flashbang FX can be see during a trial...
But yes, a lot of SFX are very bugged since the Bloodmoon Event... And sound occlusion doesn't help at all.
