    They don't blind? I've used one 4 times now, seemed twice it actually blinded them. One time I blinded myself lol.

    So I know 100% they blind me and can only assume can blind killer to if goes off at right time based on how a couple reacted after I used it.

    Don’t ignore their utility. Easier than a flashlight save and almost a guaranteed one if used properly

    I had 8 thrown at me today as a killer - no effect, I just see blue fireworks

    They blind the ######### out of you, and it's super easy to hit, and instant.

    I just had a 4 man save 4 people from my shoulder by bringing 4. I don't even think Lightborn counters them. (except to lower the amount of blind time)

    I will state, the blind time is just the base blind time though. So I wouldn't stand in front of the killer.

    People are not timing them right. If timed right they suck as a killer.

    I try to use one and it seemed bugged. I was mashing the button and it wouldn't drop, it took like 4 seconds before I actually used it, then another 2 to explode. Maybe it was lag, but it wasn't working for me.

    Confirmed. They have blinded me repeatedly.

    I've been blinding killers left and right with them, especially wraiths. Been legit just throwing them next to a pallet, watch legion vault pallet, then see killer blinded points, feelsgoodman.

    I'm so happy they came back <3 I haven't had anyone blind me yet but I won't be mad, they're so pretty and rare. I love doing drive-by fireworks on Kill Your Friends so I'm beyond excited these are back.

    Had 2 used against me so far. One blinded, one failed. The one that blinded me was used too late and I was already swinging so I still hit her. I think they are pretty fun. I hope to run into more of them.

    They do blind the killer just gotta time it. The question is are they still useable after the event cause I'm stacking them 😂😂😂

    I’m assuming they would be because the Halloween special items are still usable in my inventory. But you never know. They can change it.

    I can confirm that they will instantly make you drop a survivor from your shoulder, too... very big PITA.

    Great. That's the first thing this game needed was another tool for stunning killers.

    Super.

    What's the timing on these things, the delay is huge I can't get blinds off very easily.

    One guy blinded me while i was swinging my weapon with someone on my shoulder. I droped them.

    I can confirm they blind.

    They work really well against a cloaked wraith.

    I like them, they're pretty!!! They actually helped me out. I was playing Spirit and the David dropped the firecracker and I just stood there looking at it admiring them and then downed him by fooling him behind a pallet

    I've had it used against me. Only once has it blinded me, the other times it just deafened me (made the volume go low) for the duration of the item's use.
