Could it actually work and become the full auto explosions dispenser it was meant to be?

the pearl of ineffable knowledge and Megavore ability
It actually works pretty cool to an extent( I essentially fire it in fade away )
I imagine that experienced Fl4k players already tried something like that? Is there ways to make this flakker even better?
Also I try this with one pump chump as well but I would like a fade away anointed for accurate rapid fire no luck so far.

I have used this setup before at level 50. There is some FUNKY Fl4k/Flakker synergy with Megavore and Leave No Trace.

I ran a radiation Flakker with an all radiation Gammavore build for a bit as well.

Yep, can confirm that this works fantastically. At the game’s release, as soon as I got a Flakker to drop, pretty much the first thing I did was test whether the Flakker could crit with Megavore. Much to my surprise, even though the Flakker is splash only (at least IIRC, haven’t used it in a while), the splash can crit! Then I got myself a good Headcase (+3 LNT / +2FAF) and went to town. This was pretty much my go-to build for everything for the first several months of the game, actually.

Then M4 came out and the Flakker’s damage fell off a little. It is still a good weapon, just not AS good as it was initially when the difficulty cap was M3.

P.S. - You can also crit-swap with the Unforgiven

Quick Flakking Fl4k resurrection, throwed it in 2 minutes and just played Athenas m11 but still looks like it is viable, I missed the fun, now you can fire indefinitely without reloading (ammo regen is not needed, but it is the only rad flakker I have , the non rad is rather dangerous)

I use a Fl4kker to maximize my uptime of Gamma Burst to basically instantly refill my cooldown with no ammo cost at all with Megavore. That way it’s pretty easy to keep a Red Fang setup going through a whole Takedown.

The funny thing is that the buffed Fl4kker is now actually too powerful and becomes somewhat suicidal to use for spamming. But experience makes it manageable.

@narfkeks I guess I was not paying attention when they said the Flakker was getting a buff. Good lord did it get a buff! The one I picked up had like 25 in the mag with my mag size artifact and the damage has been close to tripled. Man was that overdue. Now there’s a reason to try the Flakker again!
