Auto Rifles have been getting a lot of requests to be buffed. But what about Fusion Rifles? I know that not many people use them but it is still an issue for those of us that do. They used to be my go to weapon for PVP and PVE but they just seem to be missing something. I know that you used to be able to snipe people with fusion rifles and many will do it again soon, [spoiler]Queenbreaker's Bow[/spoiler] But the spread on them causes them to be terrible in mid to close ranges at times which is where they are supposed to excel. Something that could e done is the spread could be back as it was before, but the fusion coils will disappear after a certain range so that sniping is impossible with them. This obviously wouldn't affect guns like Vex Mythoclast and Queenbreaker's Bow. The same thing happens with shotguns so why not with fusion rifles? Fusion Rifles are dying out and I feel that they are like the secondary form of auto rifles. Edit: Through some research I figured out that each coil does about 40 damage. More or less depending on impact. And it fires 7 coils per shot which totals in about 280-300 damage. So you need to hit at least 5-6 of the coils to get the kill depending on the player's armor stat. But since the spread on them is so high on some fusion rifles only 3 or 4 shots actually hit. Not to mention fusion rifles are the only weapons (besides rocket launchers) that have bullet travel time. So a lot of times players move just a small amount and end up dodging a lot of the shots.

  • I have a split shifter with hip fire and hotswap. Its a nice replacement for plan c when I want to use some other exotic. But alas, a slight buff to fusion rifles is muchly (is that a word?) wanted Reduce the spread a little bit? Or maybe increase damage of each coil/bullet/whatever it is? Or give fusion rifles access to spread shot..... (Won't happen but I can dream right?)
