Why does a flash bang behind me blind me?

devs are trash, what's new?

Because the blindness simulates the overall effect in reallife, not just the flash?

[RagingBear]

It only partially flashes you in close proximity. I'd guess it's probably to simulate getting flashed in your peripheral vision. It's not the same visual effect as a direct flash.

Probably the same reason my idiot char caughs in the smoke while wearing a mask.

[Gad Bateway]

Probably to simulate the concussion the grenade causes.

Or, you know, the sudden flare of light still bounces off surfaces, causing some degredation in vision and mis-adjusted eyes.
I mean, snowblindness is a thing, as is 'discomfort glare' from overly bright lighting, which can cause someone to close their eyes or otherwise hinder vision. Even people without clinical light sensitivity have limits on what their eyes can deal with as a sudden flash.



There is, of course, also secondary effects that can interefere with vision from a flashbang, such as concussion from the soundwaves.
