Considering the wonkiness of the ROBLOX engine, along with the explosion spam, flashbang and concussion effect of R2D:A, I suggest that PlaceRebuilder should implement an epilepsy warning.

How would the ROBLOX engine play into effect?

The ROBLOX engine is incredibly glitchy and prone to odd behaviors. Texture issues, bright colors and improper saturation could trigger epilepsy and also cause some eye damage. This negative effect is amplified in R2D:A map "Shoot 'Em Up" town, as the entire map itself forces the bloom lighting, causing everything to look insanely bright.

Explosions, Concussion and Flashbang of R2D:A

With the addition of the Leadpipe melee, comes with the newly introduced concussion effect. Every hit with the concussion effect causes a temporary white flash. This white flash could be very damaging to someone with epilepsy (ESPECIALLY WHEN SPAMMED), and considering that certain zombies can very much tank the damage, the constant flashing of the bright white color can potentially trigger epilepsy.

Explosions, while it probably has a small chance of triggering epilepsy, happens frequently in normal Survivors vs. Zombies matches, utilized by both zombies and survivors in order to gain the upper hand. However, Survivors almost always have the upper hand in practically every scenario as most survivors would've probably at least unlocked the M202 and/or have used any time of grenade (except molotov). Spawn camping with explosive weapons is ideal, but a player-controlled zombie in first person being caught in the blast could trigger their epilepsy (if they have the condition). Considering the current R2D:A meta, this is worrying.

Flashbangs, while used in such incredibly rare circumstances, is in a similar situation as the concussion effect: bright white color. When the effect goes off, it can damage one's eyesight or worse off, cause an epilepsy trigger. I could be exaggerating (since I don't have epilepsy), but a player who plays at a high-monitor brightness level could be severely affected by this.

Should I be worrying about this?

Maybe. I'm not a doctor, however, the constant use of bright colors in R2D:A could harbor some serious trouble in the future should this not be addressed.
