Step 1 : Boot the game

Step 2 : Play as killer in a public match

Step 3 : In-game, pick up a downed survivor while facing directly into a wall where you'd normally be invulnerable to flashlight blinds.

Step 4 : Notice that a survivor can glitch inside your model to drop a flashbang you cannot avoid, as long as they have the timing right.

Step 5: Get blinded and drop the survivor while stunned.

    Since the killswitch for flashbangs is gone, survivors are back to abusing this. Are there any plans to fix this, or is the only solution just bringing Lightborn every match?

    Unfortunately I don't think this is a bug, the Flashbang works in a blast radius, different from the flashlight, so even if you catch it looking at the wall it can blind you if you drop in the right timing.
