Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

would switching flashlights for firecrackers permanently be a good idea?

So i was able to finally use firecrackers in this event (i've been playing for less than a year) and they do have a pretty neat effect, they are a little safer than a flashlight but you can only use them once, and they instantly blind . Oh and you don't have to stop while being chased to use them.

Now i'm pretty sure it's not gonna happen, but what if flashlights were removed from the bloodweb and we got firecrackers instead? Overall it looks like a more fun item to me, I'm not very experienced with flashlights so maybe it's not a good idea, i'm curious about what regular flashlight users think

    I wish they had both tbh. You usually have to stockpile a ton and space them out. It's a fun surprise event item but I'm better with them than I am flashlights

    I'd say keep both. Firecrackers are neat and its a shame they're only available during the event, but flashlights shouldn't be removed.

    If you removed flashlights I would never play survivor again and would probably drift away from the game more than I already have recently

    They are both fun but ultimately pretty bad. Might as well add a base firecracker to the blood web

    Not replace them but firecrackers and such should be around outside of events.

    Firecrackers are pretty bad in comparison to flashlights, one time use with an audio cue so that killers can react to them, even then firecracker blinds are strangely inconsistent. At least with flashlights you can usually get at least one blind per match.

    Yeah I mean, what's the downside of having flashlights AND firecrackers available all year round in bloodwebs? They could come up with a "standard" skin so they can still mantain the "event" rarity of Chinese Firecrackers and Winter Party Starters

    Have they ever given a reason why they don't have a year round version?

    Hi guys, what do you think if Firecrackers were available all year roundin bloodwebs instead of being classified as "event" item?

    You could have create a "standard" Firecracker as well so that Chinese Firecrackers and Winter Party Starters feel special still

    It would be nice to have both, I wouldn't want to lose Flashlights though - although I am sure Hag mains wouldn't mind!
