Best Use for Homemade DIY Flashbang in Lethal Company

If you stumble upon this homemade DIY flashbang, notify your teammates because having a “get out of jail free” card against most of the enemies in Lethal Company can pretty much be considered vital information.

If possible, try to plan this device’s deployment so that you can keep running in a safe, straight line after it detonates until the flash effect clears from your screen because staying with the stunned monster is pretty disadvantageous.
