How to Flashlight Save

Core Concepts

• Flashlight saves are timing and angle discipline, not constant follow mode.
• Threat presence alone can create value even without full save conversion.
• You need fallback decisions when save window closes.

Survivor Playbook

• Position for likely pickup angle before committing beam timing.
• If save is lost, pivot instantly to bodyblock, reset, or objective pressure.
• Use comms or visual cues to avoid double-committing same window.

Killer Playbook

• Face walls, bait beam, and delay pickup until threat is forced out.
• Pressure saver first when positioning is obvious.
• Use false pickups to burn survivor timing and reposition windows.

Common Mistakes

• Hovering every chase and donating objective tempo.
• Late approach that telegraphs save angle.
• No backup plan after missed beam window.

Quick Checklist

• Do I have clean line and timing?
• If miss, what is immediate fallback?
• Is this save attempt worth lost objective time?
