WGLF buff is a bit terrifying 😨
I appreciate that there will be more ways to obtain tokens. I was a little confused in the wording because I don't know if healing someone from the dying state will get you a token, but upon hearing that flashlight saves will get you a token means that the probability for a flashlight carrying, sweaty SWF team is going to be higher than ever.
Finding the desire to play killer was already pretty low given the state of matchmaking, and now that desire is even worse than before.

You are scared of flashlights? You know you can look at a wall...right?

I actually like the change, but I play both Killer and Survivor (still far more Killer though).
WGLF getting better seems only fair to me considering how superior the Killer equivalent of BBQ is.
Being another anti slug tool is great too as it will further lessen the complaints about slugging.

I doubt that will cause any trouble. Swf survivor teams that want to play like that are doing it now before the buff, I doubt we'll see a lot more of that with this buff.
I am honestly disappointed that the exttra effect of WGLF doesn't even come near the effectiveness of BBQ and Chili for killers. At least from the sound of it. It could need a lot more than increased healing of downed survivors.

😄 Yes I'm aware LOL. But I also know what it's like to go up against a four-man team that are carrying all flashlights. Needless to say it's kind of hard to find the right angle when you got a toxic four-man flashlight team.

There's these things called walls. Look at them.

True. That would put good use to a perk like that, but it would also make the extra token for WGLF useless.

Yeah I was hoping to get a token for healing someone from the dying state. That takes a lot of time to do and I think it's only fair.

Guys, you don't get it, the buff for WGLF is op because now if you get easier stacks you can get back keys every game

4man toxic SWF are very, very rare.
Just because 4 friends who are decent at the game play together and use flashlights, it doesn't make them toxic, it makes them people who are good players working as a team and using the tools they've been given.

They buffed Lightborn (Hillbilly's perk) to completely negate flashlights and even aura reveal people who are trying to blind you. If you see 4 flashlights and are actually stressed about maybe getting flashlighted (Which can be played around fairly easily as you get more experience) just run the perk and laugh at their faces as they either start to rage DC or stop using flashlights at all. Better lightsaber counter than franklins for sure.

WGLF has always given a token from flashlight and pallet saves to this day, so nothing changes in that aspect.

Although I agree, flashlights are obnoxious. I’m not saying they’re overpowered or easy to deal with either. Simply that they’re obnoxious.

As opposed to seeing every person cower in a bush while you get hooked? I'd love to see more bold plays playing with randoms.

Flashlight saves already give tokens. Also you do realize you can look at a wall, right?

Or it could speed up the healing a downed teammate by 200% imagine a four second heal...

I dont see this chsnging gameplay in any meaningful way except that it will be easier to get tokens so more people are going to run it. If anything it means they have to give up something useful for it.

I'm more scared of flashlight savers as a Survivor than as a Killer tbh

what is the buff?

Flashlight saves already get you a token. Same for pallet saves and I think head on saves too.

doesn't work
i could have my face buried in a wall and still get blinded because the beam goes through black holes that rip through time and space and manages to go into my eyes

I've gone against 4-man Flashlight teams, and they're by far the easiest games I play because flashlights are a terrible item that do almost nothing. And I'm trying to wrap my head around how you think flashlights are toxic, and why killers dodge flashlight lobbies because they're the easiest games as killer because everyone's going for flashlight saves and not doing gens. Not to mention the fact that if they use them at pallets they're not gaining as much distance as they can on you so chases are much shorter.

Flashlight saves already gives you stacks tho? Unless they removed that at some point and are putting it back in. I've gotten stacks from both pallet stun saving and flashlight saving

I think buffing WGLF is gonna hurt no one. It's just nice.

If you play smart then going against flashlights can be a great thing as in many cases those idiots will just follow you around whenever someone else is being chased. Meaning less people on gens.

Ppl still complain about flashlights? they've been horrible after the recent changes to them

Even so that you look to a wall they can flashlight you sometimes. ######### hilarious right?

I mean let's be fair though. Survivors don't always go down next to a wall. In fact, I'd say they more often don't go down next to a wall.

The only terrifying thing is that bhvr doesn't understand their own game again. They compare WGLF to BBQ and fail to understand that this is a 4v1 game and not a 1v1. There is no reason for WGLF to have secondary effect. Killer perks are supposed to be better than survivor perks. Or at least they should be.
