Remove flash grenades

[David Davidson]

99.999% of the time they're used to troll crowds.

They're like 20 seconds of eye rape and there's no way to track who threw them in logs

Care to explain?

They're seriously cancer grenades

OR instead of getting rid of flash grenades altogether, what if we had a sunglasses/welder mask accessory that negates the effect of flash grenades?

major +1 this flashgrenades are on a 4 second timer and any sentient baser will throw them on a 4 second timer with no counter play. sure u can learn to time it and turn it, but they can just start to wait a bit longer, or count down from 27 when they hear ur timebomb / c4 get placed, throw 1, if they mistimed, throw another in 4seconds etc etc.

''just listen to the audio and turn'', u can gravgun the flash grenade as its thrown out of ur hand, sure u can turn at the sound of a gravgun, but then they just start random gravgunning. This is also more cancer if there is a 2nd person in the base doing the same thing.

 

ALSO flash grenades work on a radius unaffected by world so it does not matter if you are behind a wall, if you are looking at the general direction of the flash and are in range you will be blinded through the wall! 

this also works similarly for raiders but is way harder to pull off well in a raid setting. Adding a cooldown of like 20s to flash grenades would be way better for the server and would also reduce minging with it in public
(you can buy 200 flashnades for 400k)

to any doubters log on and ask to raid me and see if u can counter the no look challenge every 4 seconds (btw if ur flashed once it lasts 8 seconds and nonlethal doesnt even care if u turn the nade it will still stun u)

Kinda like Sea Gills and Gas Masks! Make it available for the player until next reset

hyperbole.

strawman on flashbang enjoyers.

no thought out argument.

Staff can view things that people equip, so if someone is back to back equipping flash grenades and they're getting reports of someone spamming them, they can be told to stop. Don't forget that birds also have a perk to shit nades so if it's triple xp time for birds and they ALL have the perk... yeah you're going to get flashbanged. The item suggestion for sunglasses is pretty nifty though. Perhaps a future Battlepass item...?
