It's cute you think that. How we got it sucks, no argument there. But the weapon itself? Probably one of the better fusion rifles at close range.

After a few matches of trying it. Here's how I'd describe it.
Cerberus+1 had a child with a fusion rifle, the result is a charge up, shield penetrating shotgun that fires 7 pellets in 3 round bursts, each burst is strong enough to kill a player at optimal ranges.
I hate special weapons in pvp because of how cheap it is to get kills with them, I believe primary weapons aren't just called such because they have more ammo, which is why you will almost never see me use them with the exception of Revoker. Bastion might change that.
Edit: It's only real weaknesses are range and the pattern of the shots. The pellets always fire in the shape of a perfect hexagon. While each burst is capable of OHKs, at ranges beyond I think 15 or 20 meters, you're only hitting them with 3-5 pellets and you're only doing about 10 damage per pellet. Beyond the effective ranges of Chaperone and LoW, you're very likely not going to kill on the first shot which will likely result in death.

And Bastion can shut down any Super in one charge. It's the best fusion rifle in the game for PVP.

16 RepliesGun is garbage against good players. Fun to mess around with, but not actually good.

A lot of guns are good until, you find out they’re bad. I know it seems weird, But it is mostly true. (I only stole the second part from Mr Spock.)

8 RepliesI think you're confused about kinetic weapons and primary weapons. They're not the same thing. Bastion, for example, is a kinetic weapon, but not a primary weapon. Kinetic weapons are simply weapons without an element associated with them. Doesn't necessarily mean they use primary ammo, as is the case for Bastion, Arbalest, all of the various kinetic snipers and shotguns, and whatever else I may have forgotten.

The gun fires 3 bursts 1 at a time a player can charge erentil and have enough time to kill you so you trade. Its only saving grace is the fact that it can kill supers easily (which I believe is due to its exotic trait doing damage straight to the health pool with 1 shot)
-
Its still a fusion, just rush with a shotgun and you tell me whats going to win. 80% of the time the shotgun will win because of how easy it is to close the gap in this game

Must be playing different people, kept running into people using it yesterday and they didn’t do well. Just stayed out of shotgun range and never die to it. It would only do well against mindless apes constantly just charging right at you and people without situational awareness.... wait that’s most players.... Nevermind, I just played with smarter people that didn’t die to t when the other team used it 😂

5 RepliesThe chances of getting a triple with this gun are going to be notoriously hard to get. I was testing the gun out yesterday, takes one full shot to kill one person without aiming for the head. Aiming for the head while hitting 3 moving targets all at once will only be for the highly skilled players. This gun is perfectly fine as what it's advertised.

I think it's underpowered in the sandbox, but the perfect example of what a fusion (or any special weapon) should be. Powerful, but not brainless. It functions well, but not at obscene ranges. It takes some level of skill to use, and has a high skill ceiling i.e. it rewards high-skill plays such as hip-firing or using the fast charge time to react to something.

That triple with one shot, damn.

Edited by Superblahman: 1/21/2020 8:19:03 AMThat was a nice triple. have yet to get one, but figured it was possible. Also I kind of thought it was more of a Fusion Lord of Wolves.
