I was running with a sniper squad earlier who all used this on secondary.

Literally godmode, that **** is hilariously awesome.

It's good! It shoots fast. 200 or so dmg for splash and like 450 with direct. Lol I'll take it! Dual Godlock pistols is fun!

lol 2shots to kill a gallenete assault with milita stats on a direct hit

With dmg mods you can get about 500dmg direct and nearly 300 dmg splash. Run dual wield Core Godlock pistols and it's over. I give it 2 weeks everybody is running around with them a lot more often. Core Godlock FTW!

It's splash or direct, not both, direct hit is what? 20 points better or something?

Dmg mods... for a side arm.... oh god, what has the world come to?

It works! shoots rapid can get 600 dmg easy a clip swap to other one and do it again enemy dead.

And when you run into another flaylock with mods, do you both 1 shot each other?

Idk... think I'll stick to shields

Its perfectly balanced no nerf coming for it.

Well I was talking about the good players anyway so...

I would assume two good players would instantly land headshots on each other the instant they spotted the other

Flaylock users serious quesqtion, where do aim with it, actual enemy or the ground under their feet? Be honest are you killing the enemy because you are skilled or because you are using weapon that requires less skill because you don't even have to hit your target?

Why would anyone use this when he have fused locus grenades.

as a heavy I have hmg proficiency 5 I run a single damage mod on my hmg with quadruple armor plates and a logi behind me and have been destroying you flaylock users who jump and dance jigs thank you for raising my kdr I love it when you come into my range

Useless against shield tanks.If you AR users stop damage mod stacking and added some shield mods you wont have a problem.How about you ask ccp to remove every non-Ar weapon from dust so you guys can stop crying

I honestly dont understand why youd go dual. LIke how would the small increase in rate of fire from swapping guns compared to reload remotely make up for the versatility of carrying an actual main. Unless you are terribad at shooting and one clip isnt enough to kill your target...

Decrease the firerate, it is meant to be a secondary weapon

Do you jump or just stand there smiling waiting to be plastered - serious question

how about to actually scrape some kind off enjoyment out of the game, explosives are fun, explosives are more fun when frame rate, hit detection and aiming are all off key, flaylock is no way op, range like everything else is pants, 3 shots before reload is not that great, chances of all 3 shots hitting are slim

i took my main (AR toon) out of the mcc for the first time in forever today, played skirmish, went something like 12-1(poor score for me), finished 2nd for points, and i had 25 fecking assists...... TWENTY FIVE lol wtf, i cant bare to play on my main anymore

also, about flaylocks, the funny thing is, watching the people you shoot at, i shoot at you with a AR and you shoot back, i shoot you with my flaylocks and you run away jumping like a little girl which then results in your death

Godlock pistol FTW!

Have you even specced into proto flaylock to try it?

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

Oh I get it, this is a QQ thread.

Suprised I didn't realise that before.

rapid 600dmg a second, by whos calculations?

I think the gun is fine really, it's frustrating getting blasted by one but it's really weak to people that use their jump key.

Most of us cannot jump 3 metres in the air so no, jumping is not a good counter to this gun. As a sidearm, this gun is op but that's just my opinion.

Sorry but from all accounts the splash dmg isnt spherical (if am terming that right) so a well timed jump can minimize most if not all of the dmg. Also if you see who is shooting at you you can also dodge the missiles.

And the "3m" is affected many times by lag / hit detection

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.
