Flashbang
The grenade that whites out every screen facing it.
The Flashbang is a type of grenade available in the Counter-Strike series. It explodes on a timed fuse after being thrown, releasing a bright flash of light that blinds all players with a clear sight to it, including teammates, obscuring their entire screen with white for a short moment. Unlike other grenades, players can hold two flashbangs at once in most games.

Did You Know?
- The flashbang's loud explosion also temporarily masks the sound of footsteps, according to its official description.
- Four grenades are the absolute maximum a player can carry, so a second flashbang cannot be bought with three other grenades already held.
