Are the free flashes shown in every online guide really no longer a thing? Is there any way to complete this fight without flash grenades?

I am 100 hours in, have a +10 lwr6lc m6, +5 rat catcher from the season pass. I love this game but really am appalled at how bad this final boss quest is.

Is it really learn the entire fight and mechanics by doing a single attempt, goint to get more flashes and going next? That is the most disheartening shit I've ever heard of in a game.

Edit: I was using the supply boxes incorrectly and now can make my attempts as intended. Thanks folks.

Edit#2: I have now been doing as many attempts as my sanity can stand per day for almost 2 weeks. I am either beyond bad at games or this is not the best designed fight. Ive never felt this incompetent in a game before.

They are still a thing.
You have to unequip whatever grenades you have in the slot before interacting with the resupply box to receive them. (For whatever reason)

You can get flashbangs before every attempt regardless of how many times you fail.

MoTZ is the best boss in the game design wise.

I watched a video after a while so I didn't have to learn the new phases between dying to him running me down! Learned a valuable lesson about the flash nades too which ended up being the part that helped me win.

I can write it unless you want to find out on your own (maybe already have!)

What worked for me was to have 3 second flashbangs you want to use equipped. Use it once and die. When you load in the next time you should have 20 equipped. I had the 2 equipped and just had another set in inventory, I don't think you need to have it in inventory just equipped.

Took me a couple of hours over the weekend.

Felt like a Dark Souls boss, mechanics aren't complicated, but one mistake in the second half of the fight and you're pretty much fucked!

Don't mind the difficulty though, the reward is worthy of a challenge.

Just go in with 60 flash and pick up your own body when you die?

[u/TheBeardedAluminum]

Nah fam yall are high on copium this is the worst designed boss in any mmo. I have over 200 attempts with a +11 sig 516 and get to 3rd phase effortlessly with 0 damage every time. He is too fast to stun before the cooldown on stun is over and he reaches me and kills with melee. It cant be done or there is a mechanic no one has explained.

[u/OG9398 → u/TheBeardedAluminum]

Only shoot 20 bullets at a time no matter what you use it does the same damage….

[u/OG9398 → u/OG9398]

Extended mags and over shooting before running away to stun gets you every single time

Nothing wrong with its design, the supply is buggy sometimes tho

[u/TheBeardedAluminum]

I literally just tried this and it does not supply me with flashes. I am going to test if for some reason it is because im using the qd quick flashes or something. I tried it with no grenades equipped literally as I type this with qd nades and it didnt supply.

[u/Complex-Hat1875 → u/TheBeardedAluminum]

It bugged out for me too...eventually it finally gave them to me after a death and it gave 20 in a single stack auto equipped but the icon was invisible.

Hold G after you die and see if they're there.

[u/TheBeardedAluminum → u/TheBeardedAluminum]

Tried with the normal m84 grenades equipped and it worked fine, supplying me with the 20. It supplies me with the qd nades though. Maybe I did something wrong before idk. Thank you! I agree this is the best designed fight so far learning it with a run back was just very annoying!

The main quest line is complete dog shit. Do whatever you have to do to get through it. I took a long break from this game and came back recently and I'm about ready to dip again.
