Flak jacket needs to be nerfed, this was a piss take!



What are your thoughts on flak jacket?

It really needs fixing, explosives from this distance should kill!

I think the flak jacket is fine as it is.

I get what Wondoh is saying but we shouldn't argue for nerfs solely based off our feeling a death was "unfair". Like Resist says shooting would've been better alternative. Shit happens basically. I honestly think besides sketchy connections the game doesn't have nerf warranting issues at all.

If I was being selfish I would nerf Target Finder against Cold Blooded more and decrease the time Hunter Killers fly around. Maybe un-nerfing the Lodestar and Swarm because who really thinks those two needed nerfs besides the noobs giving them up and rage quitting anyway. The amount of grenade spam, Betties and explosions, and Scavenging them far outweigh how overpowered anyone could say Flak Jacket is. Honestly besides using a C4 or maybe Semtex to clear out a room, who n the hell skillfully uses nades but a minority of players? Most people just chuck em and hope.

Flak needs to be tougher against air streaks. On ground seems decent to me


No... One Lodestar or Warship missile is survivable with Flak Jacket as is. Either shoot it down, stay inside, use Blind Eye/Scavenger or clinch your butt cheeks lmao.

the reason behind that is because a hunter killer is a killstreak. they made it too powerful or they forgot to add in something that reduces the damage if wearing flak jacket. i personally will never use any first perk but flak jack because of the amount of nades being thrown / explosive damage in call of duty. i play S & D / ctf and rushing / playing objective flak jack is needed in my sitch

Not to sound like I'm "l33t" but Ive never used RC Car but does I remember in BO Flak Jacket protected you from that 90% of the time so is it the same? Because if you survive RC you should survive Hunter Killers which stay patrolling in the air way too long.

I say Flak Jacket is right on spot, seeing as how many grenades/C4's are randomly tossed around in this game. Also, after being hit by a grenade/C4 while using Flak Jacket, it really only takes an extra shot or two to finish the job. It may be a little much if a grenade, C4, or other explosive explodes right next to you or on top of you and you don't die. It's not a huge deal though.
