Flakker is bugged. It reloads a lot faster if you manually press reload after each shot.
I will give that a shot. PUN intended. Also, thanks to a friend of mine, I now have more guns that do splash damage to help with the ammo regen in the magazine.
Those are words of wisdom sir, i have nothing to add to that.
Ok, played for a while with the new weapon setup and moved a few skill points. Wanted to update this post, still not even close to what it was before. I am still constantly reloading my weapons, and the whole point of the splash damage loadout is that you dont have to, it puts ammo back in the magazine. Any advice is appreciated, because right now I’m just getting more frustrated. On a related note, they really need to adjust the time for phalanx doctrine duration, it says 30 seconds but I feel like they decrease much faster.
ran my flack through all of lectra city without even going down more than twice. all I was running was my cocky flakker with transformer and a shotgun damage boosting relic and was mowing everything, even anointed militants. this was all on m3 solo online. Im not running anything special, and playing in close quarters. not sure why ya’ll are having such a hard time. you guys run any relics or mods with immunity when going to half health or shield break? they save my butt more times than I can recall.
I am running a venomous hornet, hellfire, flakker, and ruby’s wrath. A front loader shield with 14k, class mod that gives me 8/5 phalanx doctrine, a deathless relic, and a recurring hex. With a base shield of 55k. Tankability is not an issue. I have no issues with standing toe to toe with badasses. The issue I have is with the basic mechanics of my character loadout not working. Splash damage, which all of my weapons do, until recently has added ammo to the magazine. Now it is not working, and my grenade no longer does splash damage. When you rely on the ability to not reload and continuously fire to burn enemies, this recent change has made this all irrelevant. Intentionally or not, the gear I have now, and the stuff i had before no longer work.

I didn’t create this post looking for sympathy. I was only hope that others were having similar issues with the game and it would catch the eyes of the dev team to look in to it. At the very least publish the patch notes for the stuff they did and didn’t tell us about.
How do you get a shield of 55k?
With my skills, the front loader, and the deathless artifact. They add over 150% shield and take all but 1 health and convert it to shield. So it boosts it up there really high.
I had big issues after the 10-24-19 patch. Thankfully I had an Atlas 2x split/3x mirv/3x bounce grenade (18 explosions if my math is right). I use a BBB shield (I love chucking homing grenades), bloodletter, and deathless, with Ogre as my main splash damage weapon. Recently, I think they fixed MoD skill to help proc grenade regen, not sure about ammo regen from this though. My main source of ammo regen comes from the Redistribution skill (green tree, 2nd tier) - ANY critical strike regens 5% of current weapon’s magazine per second for X seconds (my grenades can crit, and my Ogre has a 77 bullet mag, 3.85 bullets regen/second). I run a 21/18/9 build for Moze (blue/red/green trees). I only have 22k+ shields, but with 18 grenade explosions and Vampyr, the Atlas grenade can produce a lot of healing.
If you’re looking for more ammo regen, I’d suggest looking into Redistribution skill. If you really want to have high shields, stick with the red tree, but you may need to consider moving a few skill points if you want to get Redistribution. Flakker is BAD for Redistribution (and ammo regen in general, if it’s % based) since they changed its magazine size to one now (.05 bullet regen/second). I don’t even use the Flakker anymore, and I found a 125% annoitnment the other day too. You spend more time reloading the gun then actually shooting.

The nerfs aren’t that bad at all, most of them were warranted.

Warranted? No! Watch the hundreds of videos online from people exploiting the game to oneshot graveward. Moze had unlimited ammo regen and grenades that she could lob continuously. And they nerfed most of the grenades before they wiped her out completely. They nerf the game every time people find a better way to play the characters than gearbox had intended. Which is why I have completely stopped playing all together. They took my money for 2 copies of the game and in my opinion, ruined a truly great game.
Exploiting the game to one shot graveward? I can do that I and I don’t exploit. So not sure what you mean there. The moze nerf was accidental apparently and is being fixed, the nades are still strong. Hex needed toning down as did the firestorm, the pipe bomb was actually broken so yes that needed fixing. There’s still plenty of powerful builds and weapons.

Not sure who you trying to convince other users or yourself. But there wasn’t “plenty” of powerful weapons or builds before the nerf much less now. Who cares about moze those grenades were hardly OP on other classes(And don’t say amara because everything powerful on her comparatively). And without the accident the grenade nerf didn’t even fix what was OP on moze, survivability, it nerfed her dps which was not OP at all. Just another example the people in charge have no fing clue what they doing.
You aren’t making much sense, there is powerful builds. I’m playing one right now lol.
Your not making much sense because the vast majority playing other games for the past month. Isn’t a single “powerful” build because there is no powerful or even fun content. Again are you trying to convince me or you. Because i did everything the game has to offer in the first 2 days all other playtime was praying for real changes which happened in the opposite direction. Argue all you want but even gbx knows(Won’t admit) Bl3 is a dumpster fire.

Hey man I feel your pain! I want you to try something. Forget the deathless. Forget the bloodletter…in fact forget that whole tree. Put as much as you can into MoD just until you capstone. Put all the rest in bottomless mags. Only 1 point into red tree…just the bubble around IB. Go to Athenas and farm Pvt Beans for a guaranteed westergun…it does two elements…which you can just save and quit and go right back at if you don’t like. It has no charge time. It deals splash the prod ammo regen. Look for a recharger shield…all you need is about 35k damage until FFYL anyways. Try that out in Mayhem 3!

Mine works for SS TVHM M3 but if you’re still having trouble and all else fails…it’s time to use something OP to make up for what they took away! Grap a teodoire shotty with a mirv and homing in electric and equip a transformer…and give them hell!
+1 for the westergun. Still trying for my rad/cryo. Definatly a good weapon.
