So, I'm brand new at this game and very intrigued by it so far. I was wondering, is there any means of having somebody of your team go and deactivate the power supply of areas/floors/the whole building to turn everything dark and then go inside in total darkness with NV goggles?

If there isn't, what would you think of that? Giving every map a few places where a generator could randomly be to switch it off and put the lights out, maybe have the baddies roam out and go check on that generator too? Would make for some awesome tactical opportunities, if implemented with the right balancing

Biggest issue is the fact we use baked lighting. If you turn off the lighting in the house on meth for example, it will turn it off for everything that has a baked light. Including natural light sources (like if we had moonlight, barrel fires).

I've gone through meth and actually just made a lot of the lights dynamic so there is a possibility we could get this working if every single (or most) artificial lights were dynamic. Which would be ideal, I love seeing them get blown out and the room sinking into darkness.
