I have seen 2 people really good at this combo and honestly it's nearly unbeatable if the player is smart.

These are the 2 shoutouts.

They constantly cook their flux nade and just throw it down it takes away all the shields and just requires a single shot most the time for heavies a extra 2 more if you are in the 800-900 range. I know this is the way the game is working BUT if more people started running around with this combo you really could have a real problem on your hands.

I bring this problem to you NOW to prevent FoTM. Let's get it fixed NOW! Another Flaylock situation will probably kill this game. Worst case scenario you wanna take the let's just wait and see approach this post is put out there so the smurfs know what to spec into next and vets don't have a advantage. Will also be sending in ticket to get your attention to it.

Do you even use the mass driver? Please come try this combo on me. If you're having problems with this you need to stop standing still and stop leaving your team mates.

The Mass Driver has literally one job: CQB area of denial. And it does it's job perfectly. The drawback is that that's its only real use, as it's easily beaten in open field combat (not to mention shallow ammo supply and shot travel time). It shouldn't surprise you that you're omni-tool AR can't match a specialized weapon in its prime environment, especially if the user is using it correctly. It's not a game breaking insta-kill-al weapon, in any case.

Post on mains please. If you can't please say your main so we can prove that the people coming in defending it are the people using it already.

Main or not, he is right. How about you address his argument instead of accusing him of posting with an alt, because whether or not he's using an alt has no bearing on the truth of his argument. Also, ever considered some people are new to the forums? Not everyone with very few likes are alts.

*shrugs* if you ignore the fluxes tenancy to kill people this just seems like the use of two weapons that compliment eachother (to me anyway) doesn't seem like a problem to me just good tactics.

I don't disagree with that Sinboto not at all. It's called utilizing the gun to it's absolute strength making it the perfect gun. What happens though when EVERYBODY is running around doing this method?

This is what I am trying to do eliminate this from having to happen.

You're arguing that two severely low ammunition weapons that like Sinboto just said, compliment eachother can be OP. A highly situational weapon, and a (usually) non-lethal grenade. That's called synergy.

So the Core Flaylock Pistol has 100 total ammo?

I thought we were talking about the MD and Flux grenades?

POINT is Core has low ammo and is considered OP so your argument about MD having low ammo is irrelevant and flawed logic.
Shotgun to some people is considered a noob weapon but also doesn't have boatloads of ammo still effective weapon..
There is also Nanohives that you can throw down stand on top of them and eliminate the low ammo...

This is a cycle I've seen in a lot of games.
The new car, plane, sword, tank, weapon, armor, come out and people start calling for it's removal, or for it to be nerfed immediately.
But in a week everyone will have figured it out and the scourge will be over.


Here something that worked
Head for cover when you see the grenades. When the booming stops and they start moving up, rush them.

This isn't a game breaking uber combination. I've been doing something similar with fluxes and HMG. Of course my grenade throwing kinda sux. But I'll work on it.

You're seriously the 3rd heavy I've every heard of that uses flux grenades. They're so damn underrated.

Ok I am sorry for making this post it's not OP. Can tell ya this will be the next method I am going into. Don't get mad in the future is all I'm saying :)
