I've tried the XM25 airburst in BF4, and I loved how you can lock onto a wall for range, and then hit someone behind that wall with airburst grenades.
Maybe the flaylock should airburst within a certain range of your enemy? So lets say a flaylock projectile went into 1.5m range from the enemy, it will explode and damage that enemy.
The flaylock is underpowered, but I don't see how to buff it in a different way without creating new problems.

I wonder if anyone goes to the BF4 or COD threads and says that any of the weapons should be more like DUST514 weapons.
Anyway, on topic. Flux airburst FTW.
Launch that thing up over a camping position, take out all uplinks, nanohives and shields. Then run in with shotty for mass destruction.
DUST514 I love the dream but not the current product.

I've thought about the flaylock as well. I personally believe that it was nerfed one patch too early. I admit that it was OP, and once it was nerfed it was balanced. But in the very next patch, aim assist was added, making the flaylock under powered. Just look at the mass driver. It was considered ridiculously OP until aim assist was added. Now, it is just a very good weapon, but not OP. I know there are people who would argue with me about this, but I'm just stating my opinion. |

I usually get a couple kills with the flaylock when I run my cheapo suit. It's pretty fun, I've though about using it as a main sidearm

That's just a number I pulled out of my ass. Plus it does blast radius, not direct damage.

What I want to know is what happened to the flaylock that was supposed to lock on to people? |

That's just a number I pulled out of my ass. Plus it does blast radius, not direct damage. If it detonates within 1.5 metres of someone, that person has a 3 metres wide hitbox, as the round will detonate within 1.5 metres of them on either side. Also, their vertical hitbox will be about 3.5 metres (their height plus 1.5 metres). So instead of having to hit a person sized object (or the ground near them) you'd have a vertical plane of more than 10 square metres to hit. We would definitely be in barn door and banjo territory. |

Maybe add a detonate button? Then you could aim for the head and detonate when projectile reaches target. |

M25 is a sniper. I think the SEALS use them. |

Remove ADS, which nobody uses anyway, and make L1 as detonate. Actually, I was thinking R1 to shoot and to detonate. Would balnce out the new ability with a slower fire rate. You can't fire again until you press detonate or it hits an object and explodes on its own. |

I dunno, if it gets like that, then would it be impossible to get actual full-on direct hits? I think we should make it more like the TF2 Detonator, with a player-controlled air burst detonation feature.

The XM25 is f***ed up in every game because game designers don't know how to do it right. The only game where it isn't is Metal Gear Solid 4, and that was a BEAUTIFULLY done; simple to use, extremely effective, with an authentic feel. COD and BFs renditions really sully the XM25s name in video games :/ |
