add a counter/marker for enemies affected by flash

I like using flash nades. However there is no indicator to when an enemy is actually flashed or not. So once I throw the flash nade there's no way to tell if it affects the enemy or not. Most of the time I end up asking the enemy if they I flashed them or not and I just get a mix of yes's and no's.

Maybe add a hit sound if someone get's flashed like you have hit sounds for guns?

Flashing causes stun
Also adding a brief stun to flash nades would be a nice addition. But only add the stun if it's a direct 100% flash (pure white screen). Otherwise no stun is applied. I believe tweaking the flash nades would further increase utilization of the nade and provide a more diverse gaming experience and give players an incentive to stray away from the classic hp/ap med loadout.

Yeah that's a pretty nice addition, maybe also make it do some damage cuz it hurts ur eyes.. i think like 100 dmg would be fair from close range

The damage should depend on the range it blind the enemy. If the enemy is close enough, making it 100 dmg is quite normal.

The marker for enemies being flashed is a good idea in my opinion, however adding a stun effect is a big no.

i like the idea too, could be good to use solo, teambased, and knowing when someone is blind is a big key.

Maybe provide some kind of symbol above each character that is flashed to indicate they are? Almost like those goblin/quest chest/etc items?

This could be a thing, I can always test something for this.

I do disagree with adding a stun, flashbangs themselves can be annoying enough.

Like 'Player1 is Blinded by flashbang' ? Cool idea 1+ for this!

Maybe what could be a good sign for the FLASH BANG hit indicator could be a ring above there head Meaning they are blind, just like when u stun people in fighting games, or an EYE symbol with a line through it meaning cannot see? Or just a certain sound could be good enough.

Jokes on you bud ;)

On topic, I think a few stars circling around above the players head would be nice. Or copy Metal Gear Solid and put an exclamation point over their heads.

Flash Nade hitmarker

Suggestion description:

Add hitmarker for flash nades/lower explosion delay

I know they're not very popular amongst the community. Maybe 1% of players use them. However it's just impossible to tell if the flash nade is effective or not. Maybe add some type of icon above the players that have been effected by the nade (yellow exclamation mark, question marks that circle the players head indicating they have been flashed) or even have the flash nades do 1 damage?

I think flash nades could be a lot more appealing to more of the community if there was a definitive way to indicate if they're flashing other players or not.

The reason theyre not very popular is because they are only effective if they were on the enemy's field of view when it exploded.
perhaps a second step/different approach to this suggestion would be to change how that works and maybe remove the need for a hitmarker?

I assume changes to how it works and it's rise in popularity will bring a lot of complaints though.

Appreciate the suggestion! I'm all for a rework, if done right. But I draw a blank slate when it comes to any other ideas besides the ones I've suggested. Would really be interested in a complete rework of them/possibility of popularizing them.

If anything lower the explosion delay time like they did with smoke nades. Flash nades take about 4 seconds to explode from being thrown. Where as smoke nades are now down to a 2 second timer.

Would be fun if we had a nade only inventory slot, like the other big server. Flashbang camping players in CW and push, CSGO style

Merged it with your previous thread and moved it to 'to be added late', when or if it will be an actual thing we do not know.
Honestly forgot to check if we could add a marker for it.

beside adding hit marker, it would be nice to remove the ear rape music that the flashbang cause, or giving us an option to change the volume
