Blast Mine and Flashbang

These are great additions to the survivor perk roster.

As someone who doesn't typically use items I think that perks that allow you to craft powerful items after doing the objective is both rewarding and incentivizes you do the objective.

Overall great perks, congrats BHVR.

    My only issue is that the 5 second stun seems a BIT much for blast mine. 5 second blind is fine but completely disabling the killer for that long is kinda nuts. Maybe 5 second blind and a 2 second stun?

    The flashbang is super laggy plus easy to dodge, and the blast mine is useless, I mean, Repressed Alliance is better than Blast Mine, please...

    Blast Mine is just a worse Flashbang.

    Blast Mine has many disadvantages compared to Flashbang.

    • Doesn't work if the Killer has Ruin.
    • Only works on gens, can't be activated anywhere.
    • Does nothing if the Killer has Pop and recently hooked a Survivor. If it disabled Pop, it would be great.

    Pros:

    • Longer blind and stun than Flashbang, can give you a ton of distance.
    • A bit unpredictable, unless you play Jill.


    Flashbang on the other hand:

    Disadvantages:

    • Short blind and deafen duration, you must react quick while the Killer is blind and deaf.
    • Predictable after the first blind. Must work around more to get future blinds.

    Pros:

    • Works even better if the Killer has Ruin since regressing gens means that you have more repairs to get more Flashbangs.
    • Works anywhere at any time.
    • Helps in chases to end chases if thrown wisely.
    • Can be used to save Survivors.
    • Fun factor 1000.


    I'll prefer Flashbang over Blast Mine any day.

    From point of killer, Blast mine is way more punishing. Flashbang is really hard to use for save, so that's rare. Anyone cas use Blast mine. Flashbang is usually just blind, Blast mine is actually stun. I have lost a lot of Pops because of it.

    Yeah but let's say you hook a Survivor, Pop activates. You go to a gen, have 25 seconds left on Pop and get Blast Mined, now you can still use Pop.

    I've got many Flashbang saves actually and escaped a lot of chases with it. People need to learn how to use it.

    Btw you forgot as Disadvantage for Flashbang, that you can't really use any item other than toolbox.

    Oh yeah I forgot that one. I exclusively run Inner or Self Care because of it.
