Are not! I find the splash damage to be a bit underwhelming actually. Seriously, it's easier to land a hit with a scrambler pistol. Oh sure, it 1 shots most randoms in militia gear on a direct hit, but I may as well be using a shotgun that close. It's decent, but I wouldn't call it OP.
But if that's the flaylock, then I can only imagine how those poor guys who spec'd into mass drivers must feel.
H'mm... maybe if I go proto... |

Just STD, it should get better with skills though... I want my respec 
There's also the fact that I'm a terrible shot  but that just means the "leet" players don't have to worry about it being a noob tube |

I agree. I am using the advanced one, and I hit this guy with all three rounds. damage given? zero. He wasn't even taking splash damage.
I think it's as broken as the mass driver people talk about. |

"Might as well be using a shotgun"
Except its a secondary, and there is no secondary shotgun. If it really is that good up close, it could be an awesome compliment to the TAR. |

keep in mind it's a really armor-puncher but it doesn't do crap to shields
burst the guy's shields down then hot swap to a flay, that'll teach em |

No, it's not that good. getting a direct shot is harder than it seems, most times the missile just goes right past people.
Yeah... |

SCAR takes too much micro to reliably use with a sidearm. If you overheat you can't swap.
Should be easier with the Assault SCAR though. |

It looks good on paper, though I hear the SR isn't all that great, you're probably better of with the TAR until it get nerfed again |

Advanced is ok. When you run up behind people hacking a letter, just empty two shots into them and you win |

I dont think falylocks have been released yet. Although the Flaylock Pistol is a very nice gun, maybe you should try that one. |

I mean, the flaylock is decent, but not as OP as the trailers made it seem. That or it's just bad hit detection like with Flux Grenades. |

I dunno, I messed with the SR a little this morning and it seems like a more powerful, but higher risk TAR. It doesnt have the range of the TAR, but inside its range its more deadly.
Learning to manage cooldown is going to be a bit of a learning curve, but once players get that down I predict the SR to have a strong role on the battleground.
My early predictions are that SR will be awesome in those blob fights around chokepoints. Being able to pre-charge, pop around a corner and fire into a blob will work pretty well. I cant speak to the flaylock at all, but I suck with MD so I assume ill suck with it as well. But it might be good CQ, perhaps even better than my Scrambler Pistol. |

meh, overheating is an issue but usually their shields are long gone by then and you're trying to laser cook their armor.
just swap to that sweet flay action and pop em
NOTE; standard flay is pretty bad, only judge it when you're using the advanced one
