CCP this core flaylock is not a gun its an abomination; people are walking around with it and one shoting people without competition, it makes the game no fun to play and those of us who play fair and use other weapons just get left to rot in the flaylocks waste, Please lower the splash and direct hit damage or remove it all together, people are being slaughtered by it more than HMG's witch are meant to slaughter!

Please like this if you agree

It can only one shot scouts and badly fit militia suits...and even then, only if it hits directly. That's of course assuming that scout/militia is at full health. If he isn't at full health, he shouldn't be whining about a OHK.

Also, you need to reload after only 3 shots...and you need to hit with splash 3 times at least to kill anything decently fit. Direct hits are rare unless the opponent is a ****** who stands still or moves in a very predicable way...mostly because of bullet flight time. It takes a lot of skill to lead that gun correctly against non idiot opponents.

As for dps, while the flaylock's per shot damage is higher, dps isn't higher than for the smg or scrambler pistol for that matter. Again, the bullet flight time and small magazine are major drawbacks...and against well fit opponents who don't move predictably like idiots, the core isn't op.

You're asking for a nerf simply because you haven't figured out how to counter it yet...or your fit sucks. It's a PROTOTYPE level gun, it's supposed to be good. Have you tried the scrambler pistol at that level? Headshots OHK a ton just like the flaylock.

The flaylock 2 shot kills me in full proto, And im full shields! I agree flaylock is OP, everyone cried about TAC AR's and they got nerfed so hard that they are utterly useless, Flaylock is worse then the TAC ever was.

So, yes nerf the damned things or atleast drop the damage they do to shields, it should be ripping through armor not dominateing EVERYTHING.

Dude for one no not just scouts get 1 OHK I have 500 armor and 175 shields I loose shields very quikly but when a core flaylock shows up the practicly never existed because he instantly drops me with one shot, for example I was going from Alpha to Bravo on ashland and got sniped by a core flaylcok sitting in the crowsnest, had full shields, had full armor, so please explain to me how the core flaylock is not OP if it can one shot 500+ armor and 175 shields? hmm?

It is not a valuable addition to the game. I also think it should be removed. Not only is it OP, it is a sidearm so it can be dual wielded for maximum ridiculousness. Seems like changes aren't tested before being instituted. Either way game would be better without, refund the SP into it and the cost of the skillbook.

What if the rocket had to travel a certain distance before it would arm and explode? If it doesn't travel the required distance, give it the cook time of a grenade before it expodes. This would drastically reduce its CQC capability while keeping its medium range potential.

Another possibility, it could be a Vehicle lock only weapon like a miniature swarm launcher.

I feel like this should be the case for both mass drivers and flaylocks.

That's like adding an iron sight to the laser. Making a weapon harder to use is a horrible way to balance something.

They are obviously OP. That being said I don't mind them much.... They should have some downside. That guy who said they are hard to aim is full of it. The problem is that you can pop off three rounds quickly and nobody sticks around for the third shot so who cares how long the reload is.
Personally I think they should do 25 points of damage per shot to the person using it. Anyone who has launched fireworks rockets from your hand knows how bad it hurts as they blast away.
