Before you officially decide hear me out. I'm not saying nerf the gun to be a 2 shot kill. That might eliminate it's purpose. But the charge time or amount of ammo you have access to or SOMETHING needs to change. The vex is a fusion rifle which apparently needed a nerf because it had no charge time and a 3-4 shot kill. The regular 1 shot kill fusion rifles, have nearly the same kill time if not faster. So we nerfed the hardest fusion rifle to get and allowed the easier ones to get to maintain nearly enough power to be equivalent to a golden gun with a reticle the size of half the screen. Either lessen the ammo available, increase the charge time, increase the damage drop off over range, or reduce the damage If you want to talk balance we can jump straight into kill times and this thing is just not balanced in anyway shape or form. One could literally use a 1 shot kill fusion rifle an entire game and probably have a higher kd than most people. So, I'm asking for more people to pick up sniper rifles. If you want that kinda power legitimately, get your headshots on point. I'm not even worried about shotguns. Been in bungie games since day 1 and they always work the same. The range on them is irrelevant because if you know the kid is trying to shotgun you he needs to get close and that's probably the biggest disadvantage in any fire fight ever. The fusion rifle hits mid range 1 shot kills easy. A shotgun would need 2 or 3 minimum at the close to mid range area while the player is walking towards you. Fusion rifle is 1 shot mid range and run away. Just don't think a 1 shot kill in your pocket at all times as a special weapon with unlimited ammo is exactly "balanced" Edit** I don't need pvp advice lol Edit *** If it fires 6 shots per round why does it only use 1 bullet from the ammo capacity ?
