A long forgotten gun...

I'm talking about the Pocket infinity. You know. That year one fusion rifle. I think it needs to come back! It was my first exotic and I used it within the first weeks of Destiny. It slowly became one of my favorite exotics. Then it got nerfed and left behind. I recently rediscovered it and in my opinion it should come back. Also it deserves a huge buff. At the moment it's statewise the worst fusion rifle in the game. Low charge rate. Low impact. A almost non existing stability And a magazine size of 3 But that's balanced out by the perks right? Not really. Yes it can shoot fully automatic, but additional to the already low impact, follow up shots deal reduced damage. But shots that miss return to the magazine! True but the chance for that is something like 25%. Which is not that helpful and barely noticeable in a magazine of 3. So what do I think they should do with it? First point: buff the magazine size. Second point: remove the damage reduction. The low stability already balance that. There is no need to reduce the damage. Third point: Buff the chance to return shots. Again the low stability balance that. Fourth point: Buff fusion rifles in PvE. Almost nobody uses them. They can't compete in raids. Let me know that you think! [spoiler]remember that's my opinion. Feel free to post yours below[/spoiler] Edit: Thank you guys for your awesome feedback!

  • I feel fusion rifles are really scattered right now, either being a ht or a miss. In crucible, I mostly use plan c or darkblades Spite when I am in the mood. Plan c just personally slays as an exotic for me while darkblades spite is probably a secret gem in pvp. It has great range, impact, and with fitted stock makes this a beyond proficient choice to use normally or all the time. After playing a few iron banner matches this week, I was really surprised by the amount of fusion rifles I saw, mostly being killed incessantly by plan c. I then decided to jump on the bandwagon with darkblades and saw great results. I think fusion rifles have been lost for a while, but by showing people I play with the success rate, it almost sad when they try it out and see great results, being shocked. In a land where snipers and shotgun doodles are high, fusion rifles really take a back seat or at least it seems that way. In year 3, I really want to see more fusion rifles that bring something new to the game so we can see even more and all 3 options for specials are even across the board.
