Are Fusion Rifles Secretly Good?
So, Basically, I've noticed that, while using some Fusion Rifles, They really aren't bad.
I simply think its a matter of Competition and misunderstanding of the weapon.
MANY people I know assume you wanna max out range.
What I noticed is you actually need massive Stability on them in order to keep the spread tight and on target.
And then there is the competition. Shitguns And Lane Rifles are so easy to use in Destiny while fusion rifles require more skill over all. The weapon inherently requires more situational awareness to time charges and thumb skill due to having to hold a target.
The weapon relies on good positioning to function truly effectively (arguably even more so than snipers).
So, with the easier to use shotguns and snipers, the Fusion Rifles feel "underpowered" becaue they simply don't have the ease of use of the former 2.

They're not shit. They're just not as good as the Lane Rifles and Slideguns.
-
If anyone has the answer to the OP title then most certainly they would be keeping it a secret and not posting it on a public forum for the world to see. Personally, I smell a conspiracy.

2 RepliesNot really. You need insane stability for the fusion to even be usable, most of the time it leaves the enemy with a sliver of health, and they are not consistent at all. Honestly, if your secondary weapon can't consistently kill in its intended range, it's not worth the time and ammo.
-
if you can use them yes. but they are inconsistent. so results vary.
-
Shotguns started becoming a big issue when bungie nerfed fusion rifles into the ground.
-
Got a great Ashraven's Flight a couple IB's ago. On my Hunter. Danger Close, Braced Frame, Hot Swap. My Warlock has Thesan equipped. Torch, Rangefinder, Braced Frame, Hot Swap.
-
So yes fusions are good. Right up until they have same range as shotguns and still need to charge. If in looking for a challenge or fun I use them. Otherwise I have a good fake fusion. Is the Omolon one with Hot Swap(It's perfect for making up for missing accuracy) Range finder and accelerated coils.
-
Yes. It's not a secret though. Any more nerfs and they will make good paperweights. I like Thesan with braced frame and any range perk. It's all about timing and you will screw it up and die often. Most rewarding kill in the game sans fire placeable object kills. The Vortex from FWC is a faster gun that I also enjoy using in pvp. Look at my stats though... There is a price to pay for fr lovers these days... Death

They are very inconsistent
-
Needs range and stability.
-
Use thesan r4, plan c, the trials fusion. You will thank me later
-
I regularly win fusion rifle battles. Maybe I should start giving lessons...
-
the only good Fusion Rifle archetype is the kind similar to Preatorian Foil and the Year two trials fusion. And plan c is pretty great. Need more ammo though.
-
Also people often aim for the head when using them, by aiming for mid body most if not all bolts should shit the target. Combine that with maxed stability and they are pretty deadly.
-
Ads and crouching increase stabilty of fusion rifles.
-
2 RepliesI secretly love my Thesan FR4. Shhhhh
-
SSSHHHHHHHHH!! Dont tell Bungie or they will nerf fusions to death!
-
Depends on the fusion. I have an ashravens flight with shit perks and I still did well with it. That and having good recoil control and starting low on your shot always helps.
-
They suck. Nothing to see here people, just move along... *whisper* "It's ok they won't hurt you anymore" (strokes PI lovingly)
-
A lot of it is also in the scope i.m.o tried elevating vision and hated it until I changed scopes.
-
The first rule of Fusion Rifle Club..... You don't talk about fusion rifle club.
-
28 RepliesSnipers aren't easy to use, while fusion rifles and snipers take more skill than shotguns, snipers take the most skill, especially in ttk
-
On a slightly related note, I would argue that sidearms are also secretly good. Say you're using a scout as your primary, they're great to pull out when when someone attempts to rush you with a shotgun.

I love fusions and you're spot on with the stability point, the thing about them currently is the hit detection for the projectiles is very inconsistent, sometimes you can snipe people at range and get a one shot kill, other times you put every bolt right up their nose from a foot away and do zero damage. [spoiler]fusion user inside tip, always insist on how terrible they are no matter how godly they become. We don't those nerfing bastards to catch on[/spoiler]

Edited by TrolleyProblem: 4/6/2016 12:43:44 AMShhhhh! *whispering* YOU HAVE TO STAY QUIET!!!! IF YOU DON'T THE META HOARDERS WILL ABUSE THEM TILL THEY GET NERFED LIKE EVERYTHING ELS- meta hoarder: Did someone say something is good? I'll have to exploit the hell out of it till it's nerfed. Then continue the cycle till everything suc- *knocks meta hoarder over the head* This [b][u]never[/u][/b] happened. Fusion rifles are "bad" Got it?
