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 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.

i'll admit my proficiency in the weapon is only level 2 but I use 3 damage mods, and it still takes 5-6 shots to kill most well speced proto heavies and caldari logis, don't get me wrong though I do find heavies that can drop in 4 shots, and I find logis that drop in one.

but the ones I come across in pc, or in pub stomping proto fits, tend to take the numbers I supplied.

WHO ***ING CARES

Just because a weapon fits in the sidearm slot it doesn't mean that it has to be ineffective.

Flaylock > Massdriver

This is not right. That's like if the scrambler pistol was better than the scrambler rifle,
or if the SMG was a better killer than the HMG..... oh wait.

Its a rocket, not a kittening grenade, also: All sidearms are stronger than their full set counterpart- scramblers, smg-hmg, flaylock to mass driver, but they have eztremely reduced range and ammo, scrambler has 1/8 the ammo of its rifle, smg has 1/4 the ammo of hmg, and the flaylock has not only half the ammo, also has 1/5 of the splash
Quit yer bichin

The proto flaylock pistols are killing everyone way too fast and are way too reliable because the radius of splash damage is too high and the flaylocks fire a bit too fast. The proto flaylocks are also cheaper than proto ARs and are more powerful than proto ARs up close by a large margin.

The standard flaylock is almost harmless because the splash damage radius is too small.

All flaylock pistols need to have all there splash damage the same because the standard flaylock is way too hard to use and the proto flaylock is too powerful and easy to use (damage radius is too high, people are killing other moving players from high vantage points at ranges like 40m easily and rate of fire is too high)

All flaylock pistols should have something like 1.49m radius of splash damage. The damage values themselves should not be touched.

The advanced flaylock should have its ISK cost increased by 10 000 ISK roughly.

The proto flaylock should have its ISK cost increased by 20 000 ISK roughly.

The rate of fire should be similar to the breach srambler pistol.

Edit: The Core flaylock is easier or as easy to aim as a shotgun up close because the splash damage of the Core flaylock is a bit too high.

Even at ranges like 15m or slightly higher the Core flaylock is a bit too powerful compared to other weapons. Other weapons like the scrambler pistol and SMG and scrambler rifle and AR will usually miss a few shots in the first 2 seconds of firing. While the Core flaylock has a radius large enough to make it harder to miss. That is why the Core flaylock is OP mainly. The rate of fire also needs to be reduced.

The Core flaylock is OP because the margin of error for the weapon is far too small compared to other medium range weapons like the AR and scrambler rifle (at 15m range). (Im comparing a close range weapon to a medium range weapon here).
