What is this dual wielding talk.

I thought the Commando can carry two light weapons, he cant equip them at the same time.

A sidearm isn't suppose to get this much attention.

Lol, um yes it's EASY mode. It shoots a rapid 600dmg a second.

This gun is OP

I get killed more than smg now with it

No, it's not.... I'll bet that 90% of flaylock kills come from a core flaylock, like I said before, all the flaylocks before proto are pretty garbage honestly.

Use one for a while and tell me they're OP, any lvl5 wpn especially with proficiency should be powerful or what's the point?

Militia Scrambler Pistol does over 1000 in one clip... Assume its all headshots.

All Sidearms are super powerful if you use them properly. Heck I demolished a heavy with one clip from a militia scrambler pistol (no upgrades) with headshots, a few matches ago..

You do see the thread title specifies the Core, right?

Yeah I realize that.

I still don't think the core is OP, I can kill people faster with an ar, shotty, NK's etc... Like I said, regardless of whether it's a sidearm or a light weapon, if you skill into proto, it better be a damn good weapon or what's the point?

Like was mentioned earlier, I can ohk someone with a mlt shotty, I can't ohk anybody (minus a scout) with a flaylock, even with a headshot.

I highly doubt you can kill somebody faster with a AR vs Core Godlock. Even Shotgun is a challenge you have to be right in there face for a 1 shot where they can shoot 1000 dmg at you. quick.

Just because you killed a Dragon fly once doesn't mean it's a permanent occurrence.

Lol, um yes it's EASY mode. It shoots a rapid 600dmg a second.

@Cass Barr So then you need to use weapons that allow you to engage at distance and dodge the missiles.

You can also use extenders so once you are hit by the first missile you can try to train fire on that opponent.

Again a lot of the disagreement stems from the very large explosives damage bonus to armor.

While you're using a Flaylock, most of the people you run into are shield tanked so you only do 70% damage. Meanwhile, I'm in an armor suit so when I run into a Core Flaylock I'm essentially instagibbed. I'm not lying when I say they kill me considerably faster than even officer weapons.

While I also think the splash damage is too high, likely the biggest concerns with Flaylocks stem from the massive damage differential between shields and armor.

It's not like flaylock users have a little icon over their heads, or that NEVER engaging in close quarters fights is at all a reasonable strategy in an objectives based game. Even less so when the enemies spawn ON the objectives.

Camping in the hills with a sniper isn't a viable counter strategy.

But is sounds like you want it nerfed so you can run "your" strategy to your hearts content.

I thought this is the reason Dust has so many suit options - you get killed by a certain thing a couple of times you switch up.

You can have a full armour suit with damage mods but when explosive weapons hit the field you bring out a more balanced suit and probably play a bit more cautious.

A damage modded Thale's would need a headshot, a Scrambler Pistol would need two. A Forge would need a direct hit. I explicitly stated it before, though not there. Yes OHKO weapons are faster. They're also a far less common occurrence.

Like I said I've been killed by Scrambler headshots once in 6 months, a Thale's headshot just a few times. A good flaylock user will get me that many times in a single match. Forge guns used as anti-infantry are more common than the other two, but also not all that effective.

A smart Flaylock user will pull it out against a Gallente suit immediately, cause they know it's an instagib.

Face it, no one likes getting killed before they even have a chance to react and at least make an attempt at survival, especially not in a game that's supposed to be (and for most weapons is) a tracking shooter.
