Special Action: Flashlight - Confuseddp - 04-05-2025

This special action allows you to turn on your flashlight to maximum power and direct it as someone's face in order to blind them.

This is activated by clicking a tile with harm intent.

On use you will be rooted in place and point your flashlight in that direction.

Anyone who is facing the same direction in a 1-2 tile radius from you will progressively get blinded by having their screen slightly tinted white. Whoever fully stayed in the tile for 5 seconds will then suffer from a slight movement speed debuff with a visual indicator of their head slightly flashing white.

After use the flashlight bulb will be temporarily be burnt out, and be unable to be used until a long cooldown.

So a makeshift flash. I'd say no to that.

I've thought something like this would make for a nice alternative to the stun baton as a Sec Melee weapon
