Flashbang needs a buff

Either it could:

-be quieter so that you can't hear it drop from a mile away

-cost less percentage of a gen

Since the gen speed time change, Blast Mine got cheaper, and Wiretap IS cheaper by a significant margin, especially for it's easily renewable effect. Flashbang already requires managing more than one item and using lockers which can take time. Any buff would be appreciated, as if it wasn't so incredibly obvious when someone drops one, it could be one of the most fun survivor perks in the game.

    I actually would be for going the other way.


    Making it longer to charge, but have an actual meaningful impact. No sound if the killer isn't close enough or doesn't directly see you, and make it work even if the killer tilts their head up or down. Also a much better range please.


    It's a one time use. It should be really strong.

    Ye, given the loud sound that announces the FB I think the radius should be big enough that a killer has a really hard time dodging it when you got the timing right. The just look up/sideways thing after the warning actually makes me feel bad for survs who try to use FB. It's just so.... pointless.

    However, thinking about it; making it so that it's near impossible to dodge if timed correctly would pretty much guarantee a save and would probably be extremely frustrating to face because there really is nothing you can do about it. You can swing at the person dropping the fb but if anything you get one health state before being stunned and blinded for a while. So maybe instead of increasing the blind radius, leave that as is but add a radius in which the killer is stunned for the same amount of time someone taking a hit is.
