Yes I remember this.
Itmhad something ridiculous like 150 splash 280 direct damage and a blast radius that rivaled the Mass Driver.
The nerf was deserved, but good old CCP whacked it with nerf bat so hard its been on life support ever since.
Bring back CCP, it needs some drastic help.
Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.

Flaylock explosions where triggering Headshot Damage Multipliers... Same problem that plagued Core Locus grenades.
Flaylock then got it's damage nerfed. It's Blast Radius Nerfed, It's direct Damage nerfed. And the Amount of ammo carried nerfed.
4 Nerfs for a Problem that CCP created themselfs. This is the problem with DUST's community right here... Most of them are freaking morons that haven't a clue whats actually going on.
Umm no, IF that's even true, it only contributed a small amount to the OPness of the weapon.
It is effectively a smaller version of the Mass Driver, yet it had better Splash and Direct DPSs a wide enough blast radius to match the Mass Driver, lower travel, flatter projectile Arc, unerring accuracy, faster ROF, enough rounds per mag to finish of most suits, lower nanohive consumption, and still allowed you to carry a ligjt weapon.
The headshot multiplers for most weapons is only 30-50%, if the damage of the Flaylock hadn't been so powerful to begin with that wouldn't even have been that much of problem. It also doesn't explain where CCP said the flaylock was doing this, or where they said they fixed it.
The flaylock (standard variant needs to be equivalent to an Assault Mass Driver with a Breach Mass Drivers blast radius (Maybe a little more)
So about
80/88/97 Splash Damage
2.25/2.5/2.75 Splash Radius
120/132/145 Direct Damage
or somewhere around there anyway. Enough to hit something with splash and do moderate damage.
