In my opinion, is way OP. You cannot give that ammount of "bonus" damage to people who don't even aim at the body.
Also it's kinda dumb that a primary weapon, Mass Driver, requires more skill and time to take down anyone than a Flylock, which is a sidearm.

Options to fix it?
1.- Make it a single shot like a lot of high power weapons (Or charge shot, in the case of the Forge gun, which is pretty much single shot)
2.- Reduce the splash radious &/or splash damage (It's even ok with me if you increase it direct damage, cuz it must have a bounus if you are good with it).
3.- Reduce RoF, cuz right now it has no controll, like TAR had once.

I'm not saying to do all that at once, cuz it might be the same as the laser, which was nerfed so badly that is useless now.
TAR is still a good weapon & I like it for midlong encounters.

L8er!

I try to avoid nerfing talks now unless they regard broken mechanics like re-line sniping or murder taxis.......but...

SOME dude got behind me and took 6 shots of his EXO mass driver to drop me...
in the same game another guy shot at me twice with a Core Flay lock and i died....

Just pointing it out...

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?

I primarily use the flaylock, due to the fact that I am a dedicated Gallente logi and I still run out of CPU and PG so bear in mind if this weapon is going to be destroyed then a logistics weapon NEEDS to be implemented (perhaps allow the repair tool to inverse repair enemies at the same range that it repairs friendlies), however yes the flaylock does need nerfed in a way. The conclusion I have come up with is that the range needs to be reduced, and the optimal range to reduce the prototype to would have to be (I don't know the actual range so I will give an example) if you are standing on the edge of the of the top of one of the domes over C or D on line harvest for the round to explode 2.5m over the dirt. That way so it has to be a true CQC weapon and cannot be used to defend D or E on the bridge map.

WHO ***ING CARES

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

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).
