“You have found a Flash Bang grenade!”— Flash Bang Information

The Flash Bang is a thrown explosive in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Gameplay

The Flash Bang is a different type of grenade that deals fatigue damage. In addition, they also reduce enemy weapon skills and have a chance to frenzy tunnelers. Upon detonation, the grenade releases a large explosion of blue colored energy.

Getting caught in a Flash Bang's radius causes the screen to either blur or turn completely white, depending on how close the Courier was to the blast. In addition, their hearing is severely affected. Combined, these effects can severely hamper combat effectiveness.

This weapon qualifies as an improved holdout weapon.

Locations

• Found on the body of a dead NCR Trooper when first entering the Collapsed Overpass Tunnel Entrance.
• Can be found on and used by marked hunters and marked scouts in varying amounts (1-3+).
• Can be found on the occasional dead NCR Troopers or NCR Rangers, typically in caves or other dark areas.
• Can be bought when accessing the Commissary Terminal, which usually holds 5 each time.

Notes

• If the Courier throws the Flash Bang too close to themselves, they may suffer from crippled limbs.
• Ulysses makes frequent use of Flash Bangs during combat in order to disorient the Courier and Marked Men.

Bugs

• PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 Flash Bangs do not exclude the player character or robots from receiving Fatigue damage as other sources of Fatigue damage do. This can allow the Courier to render a robot or even themselves "Unconscious."
  • This is fixed in version 2 of YUP.
• PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 The Flash Bang debuff can sometimes last forever.
  • This is fixed in version 2 of YUP.
