SHOTGUNS HAVE MORE EFFECTIVE RANGE THAN FUSION RIFLES

when you ad in movement abilities shotguns have quite a lot more effective range than fusion rifles, that coupled with their insta kill potential for "oh shit" moments makes them many many times more powerful options than fusions. now let's take into account the fusion rifle "ghost bullets" where you see the darn pellets go right into your target for zero damage.... fusions need a massive buff to be even marginally competitive with shotguns.... EDIT: since nobody can read... I called out movement skill and shotguns together for a reason. a simple blink can make an easy win for a shotgun vs a fusion rifle even if they start at range. anybody who disagrees is welcome to add me into a 1v1, so I can prove how easy it is to dodge fusions while shotgunning (and I almost never run blink)

  • Fusions have a farther OHK range then a top tier shotgun. So no. Effective range is not better. Shotguns are easier to use and better for really mobile people. but that doesn't make them objectively better.

    • ALL weapons need a massive buff!!!! Every weapons should be at full stats in PVP! Lets get the vag salt dripping to its fullest potential. But fusion rifles in the right hands are good as they are now.

        Movement speed doesn't have anything to do with range. That's like saying it makes you a better throw in baseball if you run before you throw. It's going to go the same distance.

        • Same skills, a fusion player should win against a shotgun user more often than not. A good fusion player will know how to counter shotgun moves.

            • Not quite, I shot a wall with a Fusion rifle and all 7 bullets hit the wall. I shot the wall with a shotgun and not one bullets even caressed the wall

            • Refer to a previous post I made with a Fusion Rifle. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/213824627?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=1 I would never choose a shotty after trying out a comfortable fusion rifle. once you find one that suits your playstyle you will never choose a shotgun again

              • Fusions are very inconsistent. And this is coming from someone who almost always uses fusions in crucible. [spoiler]If I have a sniper equipped, I was doing something PvE related. I'm just awful using snipers in PvP.[/spoiler]

                  • I agree that ghost shots are still real af -blam!- now and then with fusions, but still find them more satisfying to get a kill with, and like Judge Rhymehold said, I can damn near cross map you with my fusion, even mid-blink. Another weird thing they do, is when running and when you try and stop to aim and shoot quickly, they can wig out and not fire at all and you feel as if you're being pushed back into your run. It's weird and only happens rarely, but a problem is a problem, so I see your point with the movement/mobility edge to shotguns, by they definitely are more fun I my book.

                    • "Fusions need a massive buff" Some people smh Fusions in the right hands right now dominate. If I see a guy running Plan C I dont even challenge him 1v1 because I know hell disintegrate my ass before I can even take away half his health. A "massive buff" would make them OP.

                        • Preach. Anyone who disagrees with you is probably just in denial, fusions are simply far too inconsistent in their current state for them to be considered competitive.
