that seems fair since it is a side arm. I always see you with it during a PC. can't blame ya though since everyone uses it.

If you are actively using the flaylock your gungame must be very crap and appearently you have to keep using OP weapons.
The flaylock is the only sidearm in the game that is better then most of the primary weapons. This is not acceptable CCP. If you dont believe me go into a PC match and see how every 1 is running around with 2 flaylocks at the same time. This thing is even worse then contact grenades. Bring down the splash damage below massdriver lvl. The damn weapons is supposed to be a secondary not a "I WIN" button. Beside that the other secondarys are not worthwhile using simply because the flaylock exceeds in every situation. Since the flaylock is OP as hell ive barely see scrambler pistols or SMG's in competetive matches. My suggestions to "fix" it:

-lower the rate of fire down to breach scrambler pistol lvl
-lower the SPLASH DAMAGE down to max 80-90HP
-lower the blast radius on the proto to 1.5m
-lower the amount of max ammunition that you can carry down to 9 (3 rounds in a clip+6 as spare)
-keep the direct impact damage as it is now.

Personally ive never touched the thing.

Edit: oh wow the site is unaible to quote more then 1 guy at once

One of the easiest weapons in the game to dodge.
Side step, side step, count 3 rounds, attack.
Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

Edit: oh wow the site is unaible to quote more then 1 guy at once

the op argument will never end until there is simply one suit and one weapon anyone can buy.
Then it will be "oh someone must have a modded controller, someone is using kb and m. neverending...

It all seems fair to me... anyone has the opportunity to purchase any weapon, suit, equipment, etc.

THANK YOU SIR!
Like I said my whole class all my weapons are now garbage, an not once have I made the over powered post, it's like this , I rok the advanced faylock cuz it's cheap but my proficiency is up an operation is at five plus dam mods so I can fit two faylocks an two enhanced dam mods at the price of a core faylock, even if there was a militia faylock mine would kik a55!
That s like a proficiency 5 ar wit dam mods usin militia ar!
Next thing you kno the original poster gonna say militia ar is overpowered LMFAO!
Think about what a dude has on his fit an skills in before you complain, right ......?
RIGHT!

i just think the OP is sore from dying to a weapon with a 3 round mag

No im sore cause it kills faster then any other weapon in the game.

They do take some effort to aim and have pretty limited range and ammo, so it's not completely OP, but it's certainly more powerful than any other sidearm and does hold its own against Light class weapons. Also, on the belief that all other sidearms are hybrid or bullets, it further contributes to the imbalance against armor which is disheartening, especially since armor wearers are more vulnerable to its explosive, armor effective, payload thanks to their lowered speed.

Here's hoping for a laser pistol.

SMGs are kinetic damage, scrambler pistol is laser, and the flaylock is explosive/kinetic. Also, the most powerful sidearm is the scrambler pistol, people rarely use anything past basic level.

Pretty much this.

Also, the Flaylock isn't the only sidearm that's more effective than a light weapon. Ishukone SMG and Carthum assault scrambler pistols are way scarier, but people rarely use them.

That's because, like the OP here , most people can't aim.

lol what? Your gun game is so bad you're in a tank. What right do you have to speak about this? Lol

So you're saying flaylock is better than every other weapon in the game?

So what you are saying is if there were a weapon that anyone could buy that had 9999 ammo, and did 9999 damage and fired at a rate of 1000 rpm, you would think it was fair?

The problem with OP weapons is that it funnels and bottlenecks everyone's playstyle to force them to either A) use the OP weapon so you can actually live whenever you meet another enemy or B) be an easy kill for anyone else who chose to use the OP weapon. Theoretically it is fair, but for a game - it just turns everything to sh!t.

Plus how is a new player supposed to know what weapons to go for and which ones to avoid? It's a beginners trap.
