Flash Shotgun.. wut?


Someone get a video of this once the servers come up!
Is it mounted for the driver? Why would you shotgun someone when you can just run them over? Or are we talking like bazooka style shotgun? sawed off? Can we get some Mad Max decals to go with it? Maybe a roadrash chain and lead pipe?

wtb video, even if it's the same as running someone over I think I want a shotgun mounted to my handlebars of my Flash. Infiltrators finally get their shotgun!

It's mounted on the right side of the body of the flash. I find that the only use for it is for close-up infantry fighting... pointless really...

M40 or M20 are still better choices.

Just like the Enforcer C85, at best it is just as good as running people over or using the Kobalt, but unlike the Kobalt it has an extremely short range as far as vehicles go.

Basically, there's no reason to ever use it.

It's a hacksaw, on a flash.
A Hacksaw. On a Flash.

Make of that what you will.

I find it might be a little easier to kill a single infantry if you are moving at full speed than any of the other weapons. Line up your target and as you reach them, spam the fire button. (sort of like how NC maxes use charge). I can see it being used in a hit and run, constantly moving type of way.

Other than that... not really very useful. Then again... I really don't use the flash as much of a weapons platform as I do a scout/infantry delivery system. I've picked off too many drivers to try and use it in heavy battle.

Oh, and the cloaking module might be effective with it (cloak while closing distance, uncloak and let loose)

This is what I thought too, but really I think the Fury grenade launcher is better. Better range, easier to place AOE and can have more rounds.

The cloaking device is pretty sweet though and if you are an infiltrator it would be a nice investment.. pretty hefty though because the certs rise fast starting at 150 for rank 1.

Speaking of the wraith module. Has anyone tried using the cloak with a passanger on the rumble seat or is it strictly for 1 infiltrator on the flash? Would be nice to have a mobile stealth vehicle with 2 seats for operative type teams to get around.
