So the thermal scope is now live and I used it tonight and wow what a ridiculous OP addition from the devs to introduce with zero counter. 1st off I’d rather just remove the item, but if there aren’t then such a simple addition to have some sort of balance at least would be having to a new throwable. A stick flare, this lightweight item acts just like a smoke nade but produces intense heat to create a hue that blocks the thermal scope. That way in a situation where a team mate is knocked you can smoke them and then stick flare them to try cover both bases of visual and infrared scopes. Thoughts?

Thank you for sharing your opinions, everyone. I'll be sharing all of the feedback with the dev team.

Vikendi certainly feels like a meme map now. If you're not rushing the caves at the start, you're at a severe disadvantage. Almost guaranteed lvl 3 gear+thermal scopes for everyone. The map is quickly becoming "Drop at the bears and get op gear, then loot smokes so you can wreck anyone who doesnt have a thermal scope." Its fun in a certain kind of way, but feels very anti-pubg.

Hey, appreciate the sentiment, man. Hope you get to return the favor on the battlegrounds one day :D
