It's working, but it leaves me wanting to fit an smg again, tbh.
Splash is ok and projectile velocity is good, damage seems good as a finisher but weak if opponent is close to full EHP.
The main buff the Flaylok needs is to RoF, given its other limitations when the Flaylok gets unholstered in a firefight it means the situation is desperate, i'm with Adipem Nothi on this one.
Ripley's suggestion re the reticule would be a welcome improvement and give the weapon a slightly expanded role without buffing other balancing stats and also would require some practice/skill to make work.
Testing today I fit the specialist GN-20 because of fitting requirements and learned the hard way that it had a two shot clip. Never again - that variant is dead to me now. If i can't fit the Flaylok in lieu of a SMG i prolly won't use it. The SMG reliably puts more damage on target in more situations, and is much better at getting a merc out of a bad spot.

Lets face it. We have a Bolt pistol that can 2 shot a lot of mid frames. That weapon is hitscan with and aim assist along with a weapon with great range and punch.
Against that the Flaylock really needs something to reward the extra skill. I really don't want the splash increased however. It would feel wrong from a pistol.
I was thinking the same thing. If this was the Dust of a year ago the buffs we just received to the Flaylok would have been fine but in the interim suits have gotten much stronger and the newer weapons were designed with those suits in mind.
Face it, the Flaylok is a relic, just like this old minmatar fighter....

Seconded. Weapon is a bit limited in terms of the situations where i would actually want to pull it out - from behind or if able to catch the target unawares, fine, but in a face to face with a ScP or bolt pistol i'd rather run away than face them with my Flaylok, tbh.
Also, like Broonfondle Majikthies, feel that we have to keep the weapon's splash under control or the thing will become full of cheeze. The revision to 1.75m should be ok
