It's far too forgiving for acting like a fusion rifle.

  • Well, pre fusion nerf, bastion had way less range compared to other fusions as a trade off for having lethality and consistency. Now, fusions just suck as a whole. Bastion isn't overpowered, it just presents a unique playstyle that most people don't know how to counter. If fusion rifles got buffed back up, specifically non high impact frames, there would likely be a drop in Bastion usage.

  • It's playstyle functions between the lines of a fusion and shotgun. You encounter it by range, or counter it by killing the bastion user first in close range with a special of your own - I.e shotty. Regardless, I don't think you should be able to slide out with bastion, miss 2/3 bolts, and still land the kill. A 33% accuracy rate to kill someone shouldn't be a thing - exotic or not.

  • Yeah, there's fusion that have more range and quicker charge time than the Bastion. Also your sacrificing your exotic slot by using it so you couldn't use something like the hardlight.

  • I can see that. Maybe they should make it take a couple more pellets for a kill so you are required to be more accurate.
