Players want a dark mode feature to help deal with the headache-inducing equipment item. Modern Warfare 2 introduced an arsenal of new equipment items. Most notably, the Drill Charge finally gave players a way to deal with campers. Players even lauded it as CoD\u2019s \u201cbest addition\u201d in years. While the Drill Charge is unique to Call of Duty, flash grenades appear in every first-person shooter title. The classic grenade temporarily blinds opponents. In CS:GO, players can turn around to avoid getting flashed, but CoD players don\u2019t have that same luxury. Modern Warfare 2 players feel the brunt of every flash grenade thrown and are especially disoriented on smaller maps such as Shipment and Shoot House. Modern Warfare 2 players fed up with overpowering flash grenades A Reddit user pleaded for the MW2 developers to add \u201cdark mode\u201d flash grenades as an option. Battlefield 2042 has an accessibility feature that allows players to change the concussion effect from bright to dark. So, Instead of the entire screen flashing white and causing eye strain, the screen cuts to black. One player responded, \u201cThat\u2019d be amazing. They\u2019re burning through my skull with the frequency they\u2019re thrown in this game.\u201d MW2 does have the Battle Hardened perk, which reduces the effect of flash grenades, but a second user argued the perk is not effective enough. \u201cEither that or buff battle hardened because that perk doesn\u2019t do almost anything against flashbang.\u201d A third community member jokingly claimed, \u201cNo joke, I\u2019ve started playing shipment with sunglasses on.\u201d For now, the best advice we have is to equip a Trophy System, which deflects grenades or even close your eyes. We will provide an update if flash grenades receive a nerf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Warfare 2\u2019s flash grenades are so bright players are begging for a \u201cdark mode\u201d Flash grenades in Modern Warfare 2 achieve their purpose, but too effectively.
