Flashlights are for high MMR killers really just only annoying for the clicking and not because of flashlight saves.
if you really have such a huge problem with them there is always Lightborn or maybe Franklins.

I don't have them unlocked. I'm just a casual killer dude. i just wanna play artist and 2nd game i get sweaty SWF

High MMR killers usually dont have a problem with flashlights. Just look at a wall...

You can get Lightborn from Billy which you should have
2 -
That’s why I bring lightborn if I see at least 2.

quite literally just said no walls to look at

im just gonna resort to slugging again

you could but sometimes you gotta take that chance to hook if you wanna get survivors out quicker.

We know, we know, flashlights are broken, medkits are broken, Dead Hard is broken, Boons are broken, gen rush is broken, looping is broken , body blocking is broken , BT is broken, DS is broken.
What should everyone do, not use the items available in the game? We hear all the time, tunneling and camping are valid strats. So too are the tools and tactics on the other side.

Going to try to be constructive, but if you're struggling with flashlights, you shouldn't really be concerned with MMR. It's a basic mechanic. They are completely avoidable 99% of the time. Locker saves need to be addressed, because the animation lock is different than the pick up animation, but that's about it. Four flashlights is usually an easy 4k.

I actually like seeing 2 flashlights atleast. They are going to have to be super good to actually get a flashlight save on me. That also means two people not on gens but crouching around for saves!!!!

Then why did you need to mention ‚high MMR‘ in the title??
2 -
If you can't look at a wall or bait something out something tells me you aren't playing at high MMR.
5 -
Considering there's no way to know, I usually roll my eyes whenever I see, "insert something at high mmr is broken/impossible".

true.

yes, you can use perks on either side but you can say if they're a bit out of line as well my guy.
Just like a ruin, for example. The perk, even though it's useless against gen jockeys. Helps you so much. And flashlights just completely void a killer power (artist, hag, nurse, wraith) this shouldn't be a thing. especially for an item

Unfortunately it sounds like your not at high MMR yet. Flashlights are kinda ######### once you know what your doing.
1 -
i am. literally everyone using unbreakable dead hard DS and IW. and i cant do crap. and how are they #########? i cant exactly look at a wall

How are you on high MMR if you are just a casual killer?
4 -
Just dodge flashlight lobbies

idk

Isnt your MMR hidden tho?
1 -
The only thing that really annoys me with flashlights is when they blind you outside of your pov. When you cannot even see them on your screen and still get blinded. That's just so wrong.
2 -
this always happens to me

You are really not high mmr. Just because survs are running meta perks doesn’t mean you are high mmr at all. Don’t make up stuff like this if you want to be taken seriously.
0 -
so if they're running meta they do not always have high MMR? got it. what about body blocking, gen-rushing, flashlight saves, and on point looping
0 -
genrushing is definitely easy and outside of total noobs seen on every skill level. The problem here is game design.
bodyblocking is mostly an indicator for swf.
on point looping? That really just depends on how you play.
0 -
I love seeing multiple flashlights, go for a fake pickup, and listen for a quick running survivor and smack em, works almost everytime
0 -
shorten maps and ill be fine. And yea that squad was a swf and i was playing really well
0 -
i will try this.
0 -
Just because you get coordinated survivors does not mean high mmr. Maybe mmr higher than you should be but the idea is you lose and go down.
There are ways to avoid flashlight saves without a wall. Bait them out, have a quick check around before picking up. Run lightborn.
I run lightborn in most of my builds even when I don’t see flashlights in the lobby. I find them kinda annoying but that’s on me and I run the tools provided to avoid them.
0 -
Then dodge the swf teams easy
0 -
If your getting 4 flashlight users, your lucky.
- Not a med-kit or toolbox.
- Easy to bait survivors.
- Usually don't sit on the gens the whole game.
- Sometimes just want to mess around. Won't even try to win.
- Countered by plenty of perks.
Honestly the only thing bad about them is the survivor holding them t-bagging and clicking.

ight

true.

Honestly just run lightborn and if you dont have it then unlock it. Its a hard counter and its on a free killer so it'll just take some time to unlock.

true, i may as well
