While I can understand shields to preser some use for AP... Why not Tan armor?

But to their defense, the range is amazing. I can counter snipe across goat sim with a judge lmao.

More like a water gun.

actually, in payday 2, bullets are fired from the back of your neck and gravitate around your skull before going in front. this makes them miss easily at point blank range.

Well, it pierces through tan's armor, so it's not lying....

inb4 people are like 'proof?' and you go "I have proof, I'll test it on my blue swat friend here named Tan Smith"

I've always used flechette, so....

Unless the newest update borked it somehow, I don't see why it wouldn't pierce tans for other people.

....unless you guys are talking about punching through tans/shields and hurting whatever's behind them

This game sometimes.

1. Flechette increases effective range for shotguns from 50 meters to 100 meters cap, basically doubling the Far Away Aced effect.
2. It DOES penetrate tan's body armor on every difficulty with a 100% chance, identically to Surefire Aced effect. However, it DOESN'T deal any damage through shields or other enemies at all. [Thanks to Jack Corvus for the correction].
3. For the most part of shotguns: Flechette will slightly decrease the spread of the pellet and, as a result, the chance of getting 2x,3x kills becomes lower too.
4. Flechette is used for killing the snipers, in most cases. If you have 2 shotguns in your loadout, this type of ammunition is a must have for one of the guns.
5. Of all the shotguns, the 3 best working with Flechette are GSPS, Breaker and The Judge. While the worst being double-barrel shotguns (Mosconi and Joceline)
6. Just one small tip: in shotgun-based builds Flechette is by far the best type of ammunition you can have, especially with this kind of skill combination : Overkill + Low Blow + Shotgun Impact + Specialized Killing (this gives you +955,(5)% damage [IF: headshot multiplier is x2 and base gun's damage is 100; each skill being triggered]. Using it in non shotgun-based builds or without proper skills might be pointless, as there will be no significant difference with Buckshot 000 at close range distance. But on the distance of 25 or more meters Flechette rounds will deal more damage then Buckshot in 95% cases.
That's all you need to know about Flechette in Payday 2.

It's just bunch of needles in a shell, go and show me how you penetrate a stainless-made or steel-made tactical shield. xdd

Welp, just tested it on a 30min Mallcrasher OVK solo with my flechette Raven. Hugged and blasted the middle of the tan armor, always a hit, always 2 hit on that spot to kill. I was using Ex-Presidents and no Surefire aced, so I'm still not sure where this " flechette doesn't pierce tan armor " argument is from.
