Obvious bias's from the FP users aside. The gun is to strong in its current form. The same complaints that pushed the TAR into a rebalancing can be said for the FP. It is too good at too many things.
My proposal for a fix would be to adjust the fitting requirements to be in line with other sidearms, reduce the splash to that of the standard variant, and make the reload time longer.
You can pick 2/3 things and it would still put it in a better place then it is and still be plenty useful for its intended role. |

Use nova knives then, they do more damage, and have 1m range.
It shouldn't have splash larger then people can jump. Bunny hopping should be a valid counter to the weapon, maybe people will begin to aim for the body. |

That is exactly what the breach variant does, it even has more direct damage. Do you at least plan to increase damage to compensate for that ridiculous splash range nerf? If not, then like I said, worthless, because STD flaylock = Worthless.
It's not worthless, it will still be a great sidearm choice. Your relative worthiness is based off of a sidearm people are building suits around...

At 250 for a direct shot with a rather slow projectile, It would be easier to spam R1 on a scrambler pistol, don't even have to go for head shots. The fact that you think this is a reasonable nerf tells me you've never touched the STD variant in your life. "great side arm choice"  Anyway, since I think you're actually serious about this, I'm just going to stop.
It's a sidearm broski, it outperforms it's equivalent in the light weapon category. People are building suits around carrying two of these. |

And you're changes would make it the worst side arm bare none, it might even beat out the Plasma Cannon for the "most useless weapon in the game" award. An SMG out performs ARs when against armor, A Scrambler pistol out preforms the AR and SCR if you're good at headshots, nova knives have no equivalent, but they're not far off from shotguns, and the Flaylock out performs MDs in CQC. It's a side arm? Gee, thanks I would have never figured that out, but being a side arm doesn't mean that a light weapon should outclass it in every way possible, and it only out classes most light weapons ATM because they've all been nerfed to ****, except for the good ol' AR 
No it wouldnt, it would just be less amazing.
It's to strong, I appreciate that you invested sp and you'll fight tooth and nail to keep it where it's at, but somethings got to give. It's not ok to do that much damage. It's a squad slayer, 2 people with flaylocks running into a 6 man in cqc will wipe the 6 out in seconds.....seconds.... What's the counter? Don't play as a team? C'mon now, lets not reward people for running and gunning with noob tubes. |

1.5m would be "less amazing", 1m is garbage, I stand by that. No one complains about the STD or ADV versions, because only the pro version is "too good", and that's because of it's splash range.
I'm willing to give and slowly adjust, 1.5 would be fine, we'd still need to adjust reload, and/or fitting requirements.
We'd then need to bring adv down to 1.25 to create some variation. |
