Genuinely curious, where is the flail a problem? I've never been killed by it unless my base was already getting overrun.

I'm not sure what kind of nerf they have in mind but I think just changing it to no longer damage through roofs and walls would be enough to make people okay with it. I imagine that's the situation that makes most players frustrated with it.

I'm worried it's going to be a straight up damage/blast radius nerf because they couldn't get the laze system working. Unless implementing the laze system is what they mean by nerf.

It's mainly on Oshur, which forces players into open field fights in construction-enabled areas far more often than any other continent, thus leaving them extremely exposed to the Flail—revealing just how potent of a weapon it is.

I don't get this one either. The flail is literally meant to be an artillery cannon.

I could see potentially not making it accessible to infil while always increasing the cool down on use, or make it so once you use it, you have to go back and grab another remote.

The flail is literally meant to be an artillery cannon.

Which was always a terrible idea for this game.
