Barricade was already useless seeing it was basically left behind in the dual primary meta. (Same with rift)
That being said fusions already take 2 shots to destroy it without a 60% damage buff.
Revoker takes 0 ammo to destroy a barricade seeing you get all of your shots back that you take at the barricade. RIP barricade 2020.
On top of how useless barricades are they have a long deploy time and will proc while sliding just to add insult to injury. (Same with rift)
I'm not sure why barricade needed a nerf.. but hunter dodge which cuts aim assist/cuts the tracking of grenades/cuts the tracking of supers like storm caller/cuts the chaining of arc web and dune marchers/reloads weapons and procs kill clip/can give you your melee back to chain ohk throwing knives/grants you added mobility on all classes where mobility is king inside of PvP/bottom tree arcstrider can tank almost every super in the game due to lightning reflexes etc etc all by just hitting a button every 9 seconds and that's apparently completely ok and balanced.
I'm honestly not sure how you could bring barricade out of the dual primary meta to make it viable and compete with all that ^^^. But I do know what you could do with rift. Rift isn't bad if your team is extremely passive but if your team is mobile at all (which they should be) you'll be taking yourself out of engagements to pop a rift for your team essentially leaving people in 2v3's. An easy solution to this problem is change rift from what it is and make it the healing grenade so you can buff your teammates on the fly. To be able to compete with hunter dodge it should immediately give your teammates full health/an over shield and a damage buff for 10 seconds. Yes I know this would cause a power creep but I'd imagine it's pretty hard to maintain balance in abilities when hunter dodge is so absurdly powerful in comparison to all of the other class abilities.
You clearly don't know how to use either rift or barricade if you think they are useless. And nobody is going to waste special ammo to destroy a barricade that only lasts 15 seconds, besides revoker but revoker is a separate problem.
