Flashlight meta

I think I found the new flashlight meta.

Utility flashlight, Old bulb and Low Amp Filament.

The utility flashlight for the longer blind and longer time.
Old bulb for the even longer blind.
Low Amp Filament to counteract the old bulb’s consumption rate and to add a little bit more time with the flash light.

    The real flashlight meta is over, it has to many counters and got nerfed. I'm not saying that flashlights are bad, no no. They are still good. But I don't fear a 4 man with flashlights anymore like I did back then in 2016 and 2017, it's no challenge for me as killer anymore

    Ya I know, but I’m just trying to start something new and to shake up the game a bit.

    Blind brightness / time is actually super good. Adding odd bulb and the halogen is actually really powerful and while it won't get you faster drops, it will blind faster and distract for longer. About as useful as long life/low amp, however people discount it due to the "1.2s blind time for all flashlights" odd/halogen with an exhaustion perk plus lightweight can make for easy escapes

    Does blind brightness actually blind the killer faster? I thought it didn't after the installation blind nerf.

    Franklin's only works on basic attacks not powered attacks like Feral Frenzy

    I don't really even use those, for me it's Accuracy and battery life.

    Speaking in meta, have anyone notice an increase of "Rancor" on builds? Almost every game I play there's this poor soul begging for someone to use DS
