i know that when we use a medkit with 1 charge addon and 1 speed addon the charge needs to go in the first(left) slot in order for the extra charges to get the speed benefit. but i never got a definitive answer about flashlights for lenses and bulbs when paired with a battery. please dont respond with "flashlight addons other than battery and filament dont do anything, never use them." or some nonsense thereof. i just want to know if i use a lens with a battery do i need to put the battery first in order for the extra charge time to gain the advantage of the lens or bulb. i use the focus lens for the increased range which i know for a fact works so i just want to be sure my extra charges gain the distance as well.

Lastly, please dont answer with a DbD math equation explaining how it is calculated. i dont really care nor will i understand. a simple yes the battery goes first, no the battery goes second, or there is zero difference is sufficient enough. thank you for your wisdom to whoever answers.

    I always has seen some pro clikers/flashsavers using the battery in the first whatever the 2nd.kind of flashlight add-on. Same things for medkit: charges add-ons always used in the slot (left slot).

    I'm not a great flashlight user, I never tried to notice if it still was the best comp. (I have heard the weird bulb was still bugged since... decades), but if you have friend(s) to test if or if you really need to verify this comp. maybe can you try it in a private lobby with a friend ? In my mind it is naturally the best thing to do.

    If you need a cobbaye to test it, we can test it together bc I'm a native curious if some changes are applied to these flashlights/medkits add-ons.
