Flashbang (biomod?)

Perhaps an active biomod from the Flash Slug or a Tadpole upgrade module that releases a bright flash to let you escape, in a similar vein to the Perimeter Defense Module from the previous games?

Maybe it would even let you escape a collector’s grip, though those arms are powerful so a player outside of a tadpole probably wouldn’t be able to escape the kill animation with this. If it’s a biomod, maybe you’d have to leave the tadpole, flash, and then get back in to escape.

There have been other similar suggestions, but they didn’t explicitly suggest it being a flash slug biomod or tadpole module, escaping the Collector’s grab, and directly emitting the flash from the player/tadpole.
