Wahoo! congrats on the sponsor!

Currently the main counter to a flash bomb is a flash bomb. Counter flashing the ground in front of you shortly after getting flashed is actually pretty darn effective. Sure, you're blind too, but so is the guy rushing you so you're back to a fair fight. Use the couple seconds of blind time to pull out your melee weapon and run towards where you hear him. Nothing ends a gunfight quite like cracking someones skull with your knuckle dusters.

Personally I think the time to flash mechanics are mostly fine as they are. Make it too ineffective and the item might become entirely useless. And ballancing by price is just a disaster waiting to happen. The only ones affected by that would be the people who least benefit from flash bombs anyway. The top tier of players can still afford to constantly use them even at twice the price. The issue with the flash bomb currently is that the time you're blinded seems decided exclusively by your proximity to the "explosion". If its right on top of you you get the full 5 seconds, if you're right at the edge you only get a whiteout for 1 or 2 seconds. Which way you're looking doesn't seem to matter. What I want is to be able to turn and look away from the impact in order to drastically reduce the time I'm flashed. Similar to how many other shooters handle it. If we can affect the impact of the flash bomb by quickly making a judgment call on where the flash is likely to land and then turning to face away from it we get a skill based counter that none the less still keeps the flash bomb an effective piece of utility for enabling pushes in situations that might else become stalemates (this is the main reason why I think the flash bomb is an incredibly important piece of utility. Sometimes its the only way to break into a camped boss lair). If I can reasonably reliably reduce the flashed time from 5 seconds to 3 in the center and from 2 to >1 seconds at the very edge of the affected area then I can improve my odds of surviving a flash push by a huge margin. I like skill based mechanics like these since they both reward accurate flash throws (longer blind time) while also rewarding paying attention (hearing the destinct noise) and quick reactions (anticipating where it goes and turning).

Maybe a way to balance it is when it depends what time of day it is. When your outside your eyes iris tend to close up during day time and during night it opens up. And when you see something bright happen to you it blinds you ad well and it's less blinding in the daywhen you have a flashlight pointed at your face. (Not sure if I was using the right eye part but follow along with me) So during the day it'll blind you for a moment. And during night it'll give you the full 5 seconds of blind.

Really good video. I love your sense of humor. In a year or more I've been subscribed I can tell that your videos became so much better than then! Thanks!

These guides are a good blend of comedy and info. Good stuff.

I was just thinking about this yesterday and couldn't agree more. The fact that it instantly explodes allows for so little counterplay, if you are in range it's already to late as looking away from it doesn't do anything (besides it being buggy sometimes). And even if that worked it would still be very strong as just the act of forcing a player to look a certain way (preferably away from where you are going to engage from) can be a very powerful thing. It just feels overtuned and on higher mmr ranges it feels rare to have a short-medium engagement that doesn't have a flashbomb in it. To which the counterargument is not to get within it's range, which isn't much of a counterargument at all as that becomes a situation where you just have to assume everyone has one at all times which isn't exactly very engaging or fun.

I'm not convinced MMR has much do do with skill so much as the willingness to use cheese tactics. I've had some insane encounters with 3 stars landing every headshot (and confirmed that they probably weren't cheating). Meanwhile, it seems like the 6 stars only use meta tactics, such as Avtomat pre-nerf, shotgun barbwire lairs, or mosin sniper.

I wish you had mentioned the little counter play there is. Like flicking at sounds with a shotgun for last ditch. Or if you are holding a door to not move the cross hair and shoot when you think they will come though the door. Also know you can still use the compass was something that I didn’t learn for a long time as a new player.

Your videos my guy are to entertaining. Perfect after studying for a whole day keep it up

Glad to see you share my stance on flash bombs. The combination of being impact detonators while also not caring if you are looking at them just makes them have too little counterplay in too many situations. Explosive throwables are counterplayed via repositioning during the cooking time. Flashes don't have that. Flashes can express user skill and map knowledge by picking unavoidable flash angles - but their opponents can't outplay them with positioning because of the fact flashes don't actually care about hitting your eyeballs.

They could make the flash behavior a little bit more dynamic, like a more severe effect on nighttime maps, less severe during daytime standing in full sunlight. Likewise for directly looking at the flash when it pops v.s. the effect of it when it lands behind your back. I also think the 'hazy/foggy effect' it gives right before the effect completely wears out should last a lot longer. For balancing effects I would also opt for changes to throwing and ignition behavior. Like not breaking when landing on hay (similar to water), and not being able to throw through rags (e.g. in compounds), but instead fall to the ground below it and ignite when it's thrown at the usual rags hanging in doorways... I have also noticed highly inconsistent behavior on charged throwables dropping to the ground because the player (who is about to throw it) is killed, and not generating a flash, while some explosives do still explode after player death. Why is the flash different here..? When you end up in the upper part of 5-star and early 6-star lobbies, it's all uppercuts, slugs, frags and flash-bombs. There is a reason you see these meta loadouts in 6-start lobbies with people playing this game multiple hours per day; because they are the quickest way to a kill, which points out a balancing problem. So fully agree; this thing needs to be tweaked.

I just don't see that much flash bomb use in OCE. Arguably one of the sweatiest regions due to the small player base of veterans. Ill use them if I loot them but I will never bring one in. The inconsistency of them is a double edged sword. I run Hellfire's almost exclusively and use them much like a flash, Let me napalm strike that corner. In saying that I hellfire when I know there is a Hunter more often than not. Deff a interesting topic. I usually toss them out if I loot them in favour of a Dynamite for the inevitable wire fortress we assault. Although I usually get a chaos bomb instead cause Dennis loves me.

Flash bangs are OP and definitely need to be nerfed and they have been for awhile. While I don't think they ruin immersion or anything, they are a great tool to fight people inside boss lairs, but, they do need to be changed. I think 2-3 second flash duration would be good, because you would HAVE to be within a few meters to flash someone and get value out of it. Oh, and allow us to TURN AWAY from it like almost EVERY fps

They're fine as is except for not being able to turn away. That one little change would give us an effective, skill based counter to flashes. 5 seconds is a very long time in a fight, probably too long to survive, but 2 or 3 seconds is something you can deal with. 1 or 2 seconds is possibly even an advantage for you since it makes the enemies think they can push agressively even though youre ready for them by the time they actually come around the corner. Letting us reduce how strongly we get flashed would make flashbombs far less of an "I win" button in a fight without making them useless. It's a time proven mechanic from other shooters and Hunt really needs to follow the example.

It shouldn't effect you if you aren't looking at it. I never understood why it still got blinded for the full 6 seconds when I didn't even see the ignition. That's always been so dumb to me.

In my experience there's 3 tiers of flash: the split second version version you showed at ~0:55, the full 5 sec you showed shortly after, but also a middle flash that lasts about 1 sec that you showed at 5:25

Shorten the blind to 3 seconds, and make close hits within a few meters apply light bleeding? That would give good players time to react to being rushed. Bad players would run off and then find somewhere to stop bleeding, meaning it would still be a great pushing tool. And in certain situations it would get funny kills as people got baited into waiting for a push that never came, only to bleed out. Or just make the whiteout time depend on how close you land the flashbomb to them. Within 5 meters, 5 seconds. Within more than 5, 3 seconds, any further than 15 and they get a light "stun" that can interfere with aiming. Also you should be able to throw a flash to the max distance and blind players looking at you through a scope.

The first thing that comes to mind, is making it work like in counter strike, so when you turn away it would blind you for a half second or even less. I am also not sure whether that is possible in cryengine. Price wont fix a thing. As a solo it is a must pick, no questions asked, at least one flash should be present in your loadout. In terms of nerf, I would make it last shorter, 5 or 6 seconds just too much. 3-4 would be ok, I guess, but only if there would be an ability to avoid it. Apart from that, I seriously can't get, why it opens through usage of concertina traps. I understand the logic, that it is a tactical gadget but still it is used in a direct opposite play-style. Opening it through decoys makes more sense, however, the decoy progression "tree" is already overloaded: first open blank fires, then alert traps (or traps first, not sure) and only after that fuses

1. The flashbomb should not blind u if ur not looking at it (every other game does it this way) 2. The flash is way to cheap 3. it should effect u based on the enviorment, it should not only be distance based

Nice music choice. Also, what does dark sight look like when flashed?

Does this mean you want me to stop running at people telling them "My name is Henry Sparks'inger, and this is my magic murder bomb."?

I thought the way to tell if the flash will hit you as the thrower, was if you are able to see the impact reticle regardless of range.

That queen joke was chefs 💋 love your content home. And love yooouuu

The full white out effect can vary in length though.

Making it diffusible would be cool make it just have a fuse like anything else and detonate when the fuse is out

It needs to wind up, to charge like an 80s camera flash and make a pinging noise for longer, louder as you charge it. Then the thrower is vulnerable and the recipient has 2 seconds fight or flee.

That intro joke made me cackle.

"There is not much that can be do when you get flashed so please nerf", yeah, like when you got headshot too, so maybe don't get headshot... (it's not a rant)

And here I am just throwing them in the water so I can unlock stuff and things.

There is currently only 1 consistent way to counter flash bomb.

The flash should drop at the same time giving you a more fair fight.

Modern day flashbangs use magnesium or similar light metal powders to produce intense flash in broad spectrum (it's also ultraviolet, kinda neat), but mercury?

Or maybe just let hunters see in dark sight whenever they're blinded.

I think it needs to work like this: There is a 360 degree radius around a player. If you manage to turn into the half of the area 180 degrees away from the flash bomb (so a line between you the center and the flash bomb the radius, there is 180 degrees where you are facing it partly, and 180 degrees where you are turned around partly). That should determine if you are full flashed or partly flashed.

The flash should be scaled to that of poison, bleeding, and burning in the sense that it would flash you longer the closer you are to the impact of the flashbomb, and it would gradually decrease the time flashed the further away you are in its 8m blast range. It should also be increased to $87 to fit in with update 1.10

They should change it so you need to face the flash. I dont know a single other game where a flashbang that explodes behind you still has the full effect. I assume the reason why it works like it works rn is cause it uses the same scripts as all the other bombs so after checking the radius it sends a dmg and effect to the player controller. Also please at the very least give us the option to change the effect to a black screen, most of us play after worrk in the evening and night. If you take one thing from tarkov take the flashbang effect it looks decent and doesnt hurt your eyes. I personally would like if the flashbang effect looked better and wasn't full opaque tho. Maybe have the last image "burned in" that then slowly fades away, that way you at least have a little bit of spatial awareness.

1:07 i should have know better...

I feel like the only thing that flashbomb needs is to loose the feedback loop of showing the thrower whether he got a full flash. That would make it harder to charge into a room after throwing it, because you can't be sure if they were flashed, it would also make it slightly harder to check for enemies (you still could by listening to their grunt of pain). It would also solve the occasional bug when sometimes you get the feedback that the enemy was full flashed, but they were not and they just kill you.

Crytek might claim that the hit marker is proof that they were full flashed but that's very often not the case. Probably a bug but it's really frustrating. (Some people are just holding an angle, sure, but other people are very clearly not flashed.) Personally, I haven't seen any suggestions for "fixing" the flash that wouldn't immediately make the item complete trash tier. Any solution that involves just being able to turn away from where it lands would render it practically useless. Besides, light bounces off other objects. They're definitely the strongest consumable option but I don't really think they should be changed.

It'd need some iterative experimentation though, to figure out exactly how the flash should be affected by it.

I'm here for the puns

it just needs to be like most other games and require you to be looking at it to get flashed

I totally agree with this video, but i want also to talk about expensive weapons (avtomat, nitro express, dolch). There are a lot of games that are full of players using these Op weapons and it is so annoying, i'm not a farmer player, so i usually play with cheap loadouts and i'm a 5/6 stars player, and it is a nightmare. And at least One player with avtoma, nitro or dolch per game there's always. And the situation get worse in night and fog games where people in addition to use op weapons, camp more than usual, and i can't see where i'm shooting or from where i get shot. I think that also players that leaves the lobbyes with bounties without fight are incentivized by these op weapons and by the economy of the game in general.

I mean I'm not one to bitch about hunt's items or concepts, but making it only effective in line of sight rather than an AOE would be all that's needed imo.

The CoD gimmick of being blinded by something you haven't seen takes away hunts realism and immersion imo. We gotta look for other ways to balance it. Maybe increase the blind radius and give a concussion type effect if you're closer but have no vision of it

Or make it like csgo, it ain't rocket science reduce the effect to 1-2 second if your back is turned to it.

Or, OOORRRR, hear me out, we can have the flash blind for a second or 2, have the after image fade rapidly, have a brown spot in the spot of your vision where your eye saw the flash for about 10 seconds after the flash, with it dissipating faster the further from the center it is. My experience welding kinda has this be my experience when getting flashed.

I think crytek should respond by adding flash bomb traps

Got flashed 4 times in a game I had today.. there is no counter but I got lucky....until I didn't. Killed 6 different people in one house but can't win when you can't see lol.

9 months in and counting

Best thing imo is to allow people to look away from the flash.

Honestly the best way to make the flash bomb more balanced is to make it not explode on impact, or make the deploy louder and take a little longer.

Personally I think the time to deploy and noise is fine imo. Make it too slow and obvious and the item might become entirely useless. The noise is quiet but very distinct, with practice I had no trouble hearing it at all and reacting in time. The problem is that unless you're right next to cover there's often nothing you can usually do about it even if you react fast enough. What I want is to be able to turn and look away from the impact in order to drastically reduce the time I'm flashed. Currently the time you're blinded seems decided exclusively by your proximity to the "explosion". If its right on top of you you get the full 5 seconds, if you're right at the edge you only get 1 or 2 seconds. Which way you look doesn't seem to matter. If we can additionally affect this by quickly making a judgment call on where the flash is likely to land and then turning to face away from it we get a skill based counter that none the less still keeps the flash bomb around as an effective piece of utility. If I can reasonably reliably reduce the flashed time from 5 seconds to 3 in the center and from 1-2 to >1seconds at the very edge then I can improve my odds of surviving a flash push by a huge margin. I like skill based mechanics like these since they both reward accurate flash throws (longer blind time) while also rewarding paying attention (hearing the destinct noise) and quick reactions (anticipating where it goes and turning).
