FLASH/drive is a basic ability for KAY/O.
Description[]
FLASH/drive is a Blind ability that KAY/O must equip before casting. Upon casting, he will throw a flash grenade that detonates after a set amount of time. Any agent or object in line of sight of the detonation will then be flashed.
KAY/O can use Primary and Alt Fire to control the duration and length of the throw; Primary Fire throws the grenade at long range with a longer windup, whilst Alt Fire throws the grenade at short range with a shorter windup.
