Nope. People still use the damn thing. I've seen the Core one pop up a few times in the kill feed. It's not dead, just in better hands now.

I've actually found some nice use for it on a Shotgun Scout tank buster. I vote to keep it.

Try it... Watch what happens. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS!
It is not that bad to be honest, it is not as competitive as a Scrambler Pistol but it is far more fun and is a great way to finish people off. Keep it.

I proto'd mine after the nerf it has its use just because it is not OP does not mean it goes unused people just need to be a bit more skilled to use it properly.
Just like plasma cannon and commando they are considered UP but a handful in the community enjoy them and would be upset if they were removed.

Can't wait when they do.
I still run mine on my Assault Suits.
Good for a nice "Surprise" when people try to rush me in reload.
Also, I was in a squad that had about 3 people using flaylocks, myself included. (I think Toby Ferguson was in it...)
Heavy walks up, with no shields and about 600 armor.
Que flaylock spam from 3 people at once. Exit heavy stage left.
We just looked at each other and laughed. We hadn't seen an explosion spam like that in awhile lol.

lol not really simply adjust your playstyle and make it work for you. Makes a nice pocket AV with Packed AV grenades. Fun fact is I remember charging core flaylock users with my OP Fused Locus nades. Simply serpentine charge shoot shields chuck nade get hive. Then CCP nerfed both AI weapons, but unlike most fotm players my LV5 core never got nerfed.
When you Tickle My Null Sac the Canon shall appear. XD

The whole pupose of the FLP is to be a "skill shot gun" as CCP Quoted, if you have good accuracy you can drop people down in 2 shots or 1 in the head...

The majority of my squad starting using it recently. It's hilarious to see it in the kill feed again. It's not dead if you take the time to learn it's limitations and strengths. |

Yeah I see some good kills by people who can use it properly. It's definitely effective in skilled hands. |

I still use flaylock. And it serves me just fine. As a sidearm, of course.

(Had my first Flaylock kill two days ago, that's December 21st 2013... I've been wondering how it was SO powerful during the summer when everyone else used it...)
Feeling the scanner is too simple and off balance?

I got kind of disenchanted with the flaylock once splash damage was reduced and one out of three direct hits seemed to go right through my targets. Since then I've basically forgotten about it. Am I to understand that it's actually got reliable direct hits now? |

I spec'd hard into the flaylock when it was first released. I did this for the same reason i spec'd into the combat rifle immediately... MINMATAR PRIDE.
The thing i hated the most about this "skillshot" weapon was that it is only effective when aimed at someone's feet. After the nerf... this hasn't changed. ATM I still carry my trusty core flaylock on my hip. It often get's used to deliver a deathblow to a fallen enemy, or destroy equipment.
This gun needs revitalized, and i am certain how to succeed in doing this.
The Flaylock was suppose to be a "Skill-Shot" weapon. Let's make it that...
when you fire the flaylock, it reacts normally by sending its projectile forward. The handler keeps his finger on the trigger until he wishes the projectile to explode. To trigger the explosion, he simply releases the trigger. obviously there should still be a max fuse length. No more firing at someone's feet....
simply put. hold r1 to fire. let go of r1 to explode the projectile somewhere along its trajectory. |

I have proto pistol, proto flaylock, proto SMG (skilled into, in that order). The Flaylock definitely has it's uses, it still does a good amount of damage and has a reasonable radius, and I liked it all the way up to 1.6. That is where the flaylock died.
I'll be honest, my original build for Uprising was: Scout gk.0, 1 complex damage mod, Thale's Sniper Rifle, Wolfman's Scrambler Pistol, AV grenade, K-2 nanohive, 3 complex armor plates, basic armor repairer.
When I learned about how OP the flaylock was I dumped SP into it and changed my fitting to use fused locus grenades and core flaylock instead.
For the longest time (4 months), the flaylock was my trusty sidearm. They reduced the damage and reduced the radius, these most certainly balanced it. (just pointing it out here, flaylock did not benefit from aim assist) I have good aim, so I always used it to finish someone off after shooting them with a shotgun. And it was still my favorite sidearm to pair with any of my sniper rifles... because when you shot a dropship with the flaylock pistol it would disrupt the dropship's balance.
This was the biggest reason I used it. hell, once I got engineering and electronics to 3 the fitting cost didn't matter and it because the only reason I used it.
Since they nerfed the ability to disrupt a dropship's flight I have touched it maybe 3 times, and only because I paired it with a plasma cannon for sh^ts and giggles.
Bring back the ability to knock dropships away or just get rid of it.

It was a viable primary weapon. The most dangerous thing on the field was full proto minja squads with core flaylocks. If one of them caught you, you were dead. Oh and it used to rock dropships like forge guns do.
Those were some good times. I miss Chromosome laser rifles too....
To the OP, no...I'm just gonna assume you are a troll...
The Flaylock is still good. Extremely low fitting requirements make it a nice sidearm for low-skill suits, and explosive splash makes it a nice finisher if your primary mag is empty. It was simply fixed so you had to (gasp) actually hit people with it.
For best results press R1 repeatedly. Consult your doctor if your erection persists for more than four hours.
