I'm a huge Fusion Rifle fan and really perfected how to roll them in year 2 and onwards.
The basic idea was to roll Rangefinder and another range boosting perk such as rifled barrel or reinforced barrel or small bore.
The caveat being that the Fusion Rifle already has decent base stability. Some that come to mind are Vacancy, Panta Rhei, Ashraven's Flight, Thesan FR4, 77 Wizard, Saladin's Vigil etc.
It is my opinion that the best Fusion Rifle was Thesan FR4, even after Saladin's Vigil hit the scene. Anyhow, I had several "good rolls" that used to MAP in both PVE and PVP.
Since the final weapon tuning almost all of my old Rangefinder Fusion Rifles turned into complete garbage. I cannot help but conclude that the Rangefinder nerf hit Fusions as well.
To add to this, I had an old Ashraven's lying around with Hidden Hand on it. Well that thing is really crispy and works as well as it always has.
So I ha r concluded that Rangefinder is a basically useless perk on Fusions now and I believe hidden Hand may be to go to perk now.
Thoughts???
(This week's DO Fusion would be a theoretical roll here. Try it)

1 ReplyCould someone do me a favor and compare the saladins vigil on my warlock vs the saladins vigil on my hunter? It's essentially range vs extreme stability, and idk which one i should be using more often.

14 RepliesIts because many people dont seem to realise that rangefinder reduces damage faloff and does not increase range. Fusions have no damage faloff so it not a good perk on them. Whereas hidden hand/unflinching/ life support are very good choices.

But they didn't reduce the effectiveness of RF. Just the ADS time when equipped. And the patch notes stated that that only applies to shotguns

I always go for Battle Runner on my Fusions. It's definitely useful when fighting more than 1 enemy.

5 RepliesI keep expecting to kill people at the ranges before this last balance patch. However, they are left with just a wee bit of health. Something changed, but I'm not sure what.

Hot swap is very nice, and in my opinion, a fusion dealing from 45-50 would be best. Susanoo on warlocks is great with hot swap, even the ib fusion is awesome. I'll send you a clip of the perfect fusion shot if you're on Xbox.
