For all the people who says that I want to nerf flashbangs or that flashbangs in their current form need to be nerfed - you're all missing the point.
Removing arms, reducing effectiveness of flashbangs: hell naw.
Removing arms in particular is an absolutely useless nerf because then the meta to circumvent this is to simply drop the grenade. Lol
Flashbangs are great and it's extremely satisfying to land one properly in a fight. They've been a bread and butter tool for secoffs since the days of mushroom.
The thing about flashbangs is they're a cruel mistress, the caveat is that it can (and will) backfire on you AND your fellow secoffs if you use it incorrectly.
The key issue is when combined with earmuffs which offer 100% ear protection is that this removes this entire caveat, allowing you to point blank players.
So the issue is with earmuffs. So we nerf earmuffs, reducing their ear protection.
But not completely. I don't want to remove the infamous "grenade cop" meta, I just don't want it to be strat that can be used to cheese fights, it should just make flashbang usage safer but not 100% guaranteed.
Tl;dr: flashbang good, earmuffs bad.
