- Enemies under the effect of the Flashbang are much easier to eliminate, as they will be blind and deaf during that time. This is why you should play very aggressively after it detonates.
- Flashbangs can affect not only you and enemies, but also your allies. Do not throw them into an area where your teammates reside, as this can cause them to lose a gunfight.
