Sport Flashlight question.

8 seconds of use just like the yellow flashlight.

However, it says it "decreases battery consumption by 11%"

Now obviously all flashlights have batteries. Is this just an example of "it's just a video game" type logic?

What I am saying is. If it decreases by 11%....then it isn't 8 seconds. Why say it is? Just round it up to the 9 seconds I think that would be close to.

OR...are they implying any battery add on used increases by 11%?

It seems like such a tiny difference either way.

    Really great question! Unfortunately I've no idea but i'm hoping others know lol. Every single flashlight parameter (base item and its addon modifications) confuses me because there is no in-game explanation. So I just bring a medkit lol 💀

    The description is a hold over from when flashlights were drastically different. Survivors abused old flashlights on devs and they got gutted next day. It was fast, numbers were changed, add-ons were reworked, but the wording didn't change

    If I'm correct it's basically just half of Low Amp Filament baseline for Sports Flashlight, meaning you can stack it with battery add-ons in order for it to last as long as possible. So it technically does last longer than 8 seconds I'm pretty sure, though they're more like 8 charges rather than seconds.

    Apparently it is the battery add on increase going by whats said here. I know what you mean btw. The in game stuff doesn't explain flashlights at all basically. How are you supposed to really understand width or range without going to some video explaining it perfectly.

    Wait so it impacts both? The base battery we can't interact with as well as the add ons?

    Also it being 11% annoys my video game brain lol. It should be 12%
