Fusion rifle range is trash now

I think it was okay to make fusion rifles have a lower minimum for damage after falloff so they can't snipe people, but they start falling off really quickly, and once they do begin to lose damage, they go down to 50% damage in just a few meters. Seriously, with a main ingredient you're seeing 40, 40, 25, 20 as you take steps back. This doesn't even seem to make sense. It doesn't match how other medium range weapon types experience damage falloff, and I think it was only like this originally because it didn't matter so much with a minimum of 75% damage. Now once a fusion rifle gets down to 50% damage, it can no longer one burst a person, regardless of impact or resilience, without any special damage perk. It's really bad, especially on rapid fires and adaptives which have lower base range and damage to begin with. Rapid fires basically can't one shot beyond aggressive shotgun range even if you land all of your pellets. All I really want is for the falloff curve to be less steep so they lose damage more gradually as you step back instead of losing half their damage in just a few steps. In addition to this it would be nice to give adaptives and rapid fires a bit more base range so they can keep up their full damage a bit beyond shotgun ranges. The poor range also affects pve. Fusion rifles just can't be used from any safety anymore, or else they are doing hardly any damage, particularly the lower impact archetypes. Please fix this and give fusion rifles a more gradual falloff curve. Edit: to all the people saying they're still getting killed by erentil, I honestly don't give a damn about erentil. I rarely use high impact fusions. It's mainly that rapid fire frames and adaptives are just unable to hold they're ground against other weapons that kill from farther, or shotguns, of which they are in severe danger in their new "optimal" range.
