Killers pick you out so fast that flashlight saves are not even possible anymore.

    Agreed, if they want the animation faster then make the flashlight blind faster.

    Flashlights are actually more skillful and riskthe killer seeing you with a crutch item now you have to get close to the killer because of the pickup time oh no they're useless now! SMFH survivor mains are so dumb

    If you intend on being the saving grace with a flashlight I reccomend empathy/flashlight combo.. follow the injured person until they get knocked down and be rewarded.. it may take time getting used too the changes but reps/practice makes perfect.. do some kyf and practice getting down the timing.. debs reduced it by 1.3 seconds that means you have to be hiding closer in order to get into position.. come on just because it's not as easy as it used to be doesnt mean things need to be nerfed within a week... practice and git gud like killers had to do for the first 2 yrs of the game

    Flashlight saves actually take some skill now instead of being something a 12 year old could do? Oh the inhumane horror.

    Also flashlights aren't only used for saves. In case survivors don't know it yet, flashlights are also used to blind killers when breaking pallets or vaulting in order to gain some distance and break LoS for an escape without the killer being able to see you for a bit.

    Flashlights do not work. They are a troll item from the developers.

    Soi you had to necro a nearly 4 month old thread why again? The issue isn't the flashlight but the user not performing the blind at the correct time. IF you know how to do it it works just fine if not then it doesn't work.
