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.

Problem is: -They connected projectile speed to the range stat on fusion rifles. -They don't land crits and their spread is terrible so if a single bolt misses, you're essentially toast. -They're harder to use and don't net you any advantage unless you're in the most niche situation. -Bungie keeps nerfing them. Even when no one is using them. I was using a fusion rifle today and got a few good kills. Unfortunately, the gun with good range and stability couldn't kill a guy at 15-20 feet. Note: This is the FWC variant of the Thesan. So it has good range and almost max impact meaning it requires only 4 bolts for a kill. Despite a 2/3 full stability bar and me adjusting for recoil. The gun is about as consistent as an ugly hooker. I ended up using it like a shotgun hip firing point blank at people just for kicks.
