What the fuck do flechette shells do?
I still haven’t learned after all this time, damnit.

Not a whole lot, they deal a lot of damage up close but you could use buckshot for that anyways. The spread and do moderate damage at a slight distance and weak damage at a big distance. For people who are gonna be shotgunning up close/medium range and don't want a stun.

They're a shrapnel round with no stun and high FF expectancy

Picture slug and buckshot having a baby. It's flechette, but "stun" gene wasn't inherited. It doesn't deserve to be "special" as ammo. It's more usefull on T3's and Queen than slug. Slowdown mechanic, anybody?

slug but it has a stupid spread mechanic, more damage, and no stun

Yea, But it can Be a bit Surprising for Benos who are always used to the Close range Shottys, So 1 Medium range shot can knock about 70% Of that Pesky Young runners health out

The most significant thing about it is the fact that it has a high chance to give humans shrapnel wounds compared to other ammo types, since you're firing needles. Probably the most effective crowd sweeper but wont beat slugs for hvh damage potential.

The answer: Flechette is BAD.

CABAL · Post by **CABAL** » 15 Dec 2018, 17:43

I played few times with flechette and I changed my mind:
Longer range buckshot without stun.
Slug is pure untility, Flechette raw damage and buckshot is inbetween. Not that bad as I thought.

Basically: it isn't shit but ain't as praiseworthy as a BC

CABAL · Post by **CABAL** » 15 Dec 2018, 19:12

BC flechette shotgun eh? Might be decent.

At that point, BC Slug and BC Buckshot already outlive flech's usefulness.

Imo the slug doesn't need a BC it's meant to stun, rate of fire is more important with that, IMO.
Flechette though, why not, I never really used it since I use the shotgun mainly for the stun.

Flechettes have longer range, tighter spread and more AP than buckshot, but less damage.

Often results in deadly FF.

No stun, no fun brothers.

I remember someone from Req saying it to me. I just didn't wanted to spend my 30 points on them. Instead, as a good marine I bought AP for pulse rifle and I left them in prep.

Flechettes need slowdown mechanic ASAP.
