How to deal with flashlight builds as killer?
I sometimes find myself against dedicated flashlight survivors, but when i do it feels hopeless.
The group stick together, and when i grab someone i don't have enough time to turn around or look up.
Should i just slug? i dislike doing it since a single guy alive can revive everyone if i ######### up, and no hooks means no progress.
Its not common enough to use a perk slot with lightborn, as it will be wasted most matches.
Any tips? I try facing walls but the last match i had in the swamp either there were no walls or the angle was not enough to avoid blind. I felt hopeless.

Run infectious fright it's a great perk for applying pressure and revealing the flashlight user so you can make the pick up safely
I actually keep Lightborn on 100% of the time right now because I'm lazy. Doesn't matter if there's no one in the lobby with a flashlight, I keep it equipped, and it never occurs to the ones who find a flashlight in a chest that they're against a killer who came with Lightborn just in case. It's fantastic.
Your main options are Lightborn, Franklin's Demise, trying to face walls, slugging, and/or playing as Pyramid Head.
Have a look around if you know there’s a flashlight in game. Shouldn’t take but a few seconds.
lightborne(use when you see a lobby full of flashlights), face a wall during pickup animation, fraklin's, scare them off first, let them waste battery at pallets.
yes i know you mentioned lightborne but you said it would be wasted most matches even though you can see what survivors are bringing into a match and plan accordingly and i wanted to make it clear this is what you should be doing not bringing it in every match
Remember that perks like m&a and shadowborn that increase your fov also increase the angle at which you can get blinded
Infectious. It'll let you know if anyone is near you.
Why pyramid head?
He can cage survivors. If you down a tormented survivor, you don't have to leave them slugged, nor do you have to pick them up to consume a hook state; you can cage survivors to avoid flashlight saves.
If I get in a lobby with 2 or more flashlights, Lightborn goes on.. no hesitation
not dealing with that
pick up in front of a wall, use lightborn, infectious fright, etc.
