Is bungie seriously nerfing fusion rifles?

Increase Charge Speed on fast charging Fusion Rifles, but reduce burst damage to compensate Reduced Hip Fire Stability for all Fusion Rifles Reduction in carried ammo inventory for all Fusion Rifles

  • Higher stability while aiming down sights and crouched ;)

  • I don't know whether overall it is a nerf or a buff for fusion rifles until I get to play with them. I WANT fusion rifles to be good. I've been trying to learn them in their current state, and though it can be very satisfying it still sucks to have someone round a corner on you and shotgun you in so few frames that you never saw them when you were alive. I feel like they are trying to make Fusion rifles APPEALING without making them OP. In their current state they wreck (when you manage to get a shot off) The biggest frustration is the charge time and that ADS doesn't seem to focus the burst in the way I would expect - it seems they are taking steps to remedy these problems so I am happy.

  • Getting killed by a fusion rifle in crucible is like finding a rainbow. Leave them alone.

  • You left out: Increased ADS and Crouched Stability for all Fusion Rifles Increased base damage against AI combatants to 1.25x (was 1.15x) As someone who use them in PvP I have zero issues with the changes, especially given the fact that we have more perks for weapon handling avaiable now. As for Ammo, I could carry an obscene amount of FR ammo. Much, much more than other specials. Even the lower impact Fusion are a one hit kill in PvP at quite good ranges. Fusion rifles don't get used because they require you to think a little more and be more aware than Shotguns. Shotguns are more consistent for most people and with the range during the last tow phases they have been an excellent choice. But a good FR user will melt you over and over.

    • Goddammit. WHY DO YOU KEEP EMPHASIZING THE NEED FOR STRATEGY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU MAKE IT UNNECESSARILY DIFFICULT TO EVEN BOTHER TRYING?

    • Increasing Stability will reduce shot spread. Increasing range will increase projectile speed. They're being changed, not nerfed.

      • Nerfing the Ammo capacity seems insane to me.

              I know. I loved my Thesan FR4. Now it won't be able to compete anymore.

              • Honestly this was the only one that was frustrating. Means my damn Telesto isn't going to be so awesome anymore and that is an insult to the Telesto. Not happy about this one at all.

                • I don't know what their internal tests are showing them, but in my experience nobody uses fusion rifles at all. I have no idea why they would make any negative changes to the poor guns. The only gun type that I see less of is sidearms.
