Using a Flashbang in Dead by Daylight requires just a few steps. First, you'll need to ensure that you have equipped the Flashbang perk; this is unique to Leon S.

Congratulations, you've now crafted a Flashbang! Now you can use your flash grenade by throwing the item on the ground in front of the Killer at any time to blind or stun them; note, though, that any Survivors in the vicinity will be blinded, too!
