Keybind to close your eyes. - True_Blue_Flare - 05-17-2025
We should have a keybind to close your eyes, effectively blinding you while held but preventing eye damage from welding (good luck welding the correct thing) and granting immunity to flashes.
Really, I just want my more "gremlin" flavored characters to no mask weld more funny.
Edit: Better yet, have the welds done with your eyes closed be absolute shit. Custom examine text, and maybe a chance for the weld to break when force is applied.

i am not the biggest fan of this, but if it's added in any capacity, safety squints should only provide a 30% welding damage avoidance at the very most
i don't see a reason for this feature though
> maybe a chance for the weld to break when force is applied
welds don't work like that in this game

Yeah I know but it'd be funny. Also I came up with this last night after having taken melatonin, and I was like half asleep so if it's dumb then don't take it too seriously. I still think it'd be funny though.

Welding irl is super fucking bright, closing your eyes won't do anything at all I'm pretty sure (idk Im not a welder)

Eyelids aren't that great at blocking out bright lights. I've wanted ways to cover my eyes when I see a flashbang get tossed out but that's a niche case and as silly as it is running works there. Maybe make lying down provide some flash resistance? "Hit the deck!" and all.
