and also make blinding during running possible. Both would add so much fun to flashys.

    You know what? A Killer who can blind Survivors would be awesome. Let them see how it feels for once. Could base an entire power around that, or even add it as an effect to Hex: The Third Seal to make the perk worth running.

    Survivors can be blinded by firecrackers (and still move) :)


    a killer power based on this may be cool though, maybe a photographer with a flashlight camera? (I actually tried to create such a killer concept in the Share Your Work sections of the forums..)

    I was literally just thinking this yesterday. I’m totally down. Sometimes there are survivors who just need a good blinding.

    You know, if the Photographer from Identity V or the Obscura from Evil Within 2 gets added to this game, this could be an extra part of their power

    Friendly fire allows for finer skill expression.

    I think I once made a perk that does exactly what you described

    Backflash

    Backflash guarantees a Sport Flashlight in your first chest search

    While running, you may aim the flashlight beam behind yourself. You do not slow down while using the flashlight

    Increases flashlight efficiency by 15%/20%/25%

    The problem with flashlights is that you lose lots of momentum using it. With this, flashlights can be used to annoy the killer during chase, forcing them to look up and down and allowing you to get away or something.

    Yeah in most multiplayer games, friendly fire is non-existent due to the fear of griefing

    I think if an original chapter was made where the killer was a photographer or something or even a licensed game that uses a camera at some point that this could be a cool power.
