When using a flashlight on a male survivor the beam appears too low.


1. Boot game

2. Play as survivor

3. Select any male survivor and equip s flashlight

4. When shining the flashlight you can see that the beam is lower than it used to be


I haven't had time to test thoroughly, but this happens on (what I assume) is every male survivor. (I tested bill, tapp and jake.)

    I thought I was going crazy! I have been noticing this as well when I play Ace.

    YES I played Ace and I had to move my camera up way more than my muscle memory said to to get a flashlight blind. I thought i was crazy

    Here's the difference between pre-6.2.0 aim (top) and the post-6.2.0 aim (bottom). I drew white crosshairs to indicate the exact center of the screen. Notice how the new aim is lowered and to the left.

    And as a side-note: overall, flashlights after 6.2.0 have just felt... off? The size of the flashlight beam, how much it expands after blinding, what angles allow you to blind, etc. I wish we had transparency on these kinds of things since they were not mentioned in the patch notes. It's hard to believe they would be changed on accident.
