With the latest weapon tuning details ( https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13147 ) I noticed that fusion rifles are getting more of a nerf than a buff. To the already under-powered weapon, fusion rifles will decend into the darkness never to be used. There only seems to be one buff within the many nerfs to them; [i]Changes: Slow charging, high Impact Fusion Rifles have decreased Range values Makes it more difficult to max out Range for these weapons Projectile Speed for Fusion Rifles is slightly reduced Emphasizes the need to lead a targets outside medium range Improve Accuracy for short range Fusion Rifles Reduce Accuracy for long range Fusion Rifles[/i] that is to improve them in close range, which honestly seems useless as fusion rifles will never compete with shotguns in close range in pve and especially pvp, as close range in pvp is fast paced, meaning the slower charge times and the bullet travel time (being reduced further) make them all but usless compared to shotguns instant bullet travel time and having no charge time. Also with blink and the kneepads perk, it is easy to get out of the fusion rifles sweet spot and in to the shotguns. Pve fusion rifles simply dont deal enough damage to anything at all. With shotguns taking close range and snipers long, there is a void, in between them, that needs filling, and sadly at the moment its hard to fill. I know little about weapon tuning or what would be overpowered or not, but I'd like the fusion rifles to venture back into the medium range. I want to feel reward for having to use a charge time and having bullet speed, this I feel was the original intention behind them but at the moment fusion rifles are under-whelming in there rewards. I feel a damage buff and spread reductions (maybe even range increase) for pve is needed and for pvp just a small range increase and spread decrease, rather than trying to make them compete in close range, which I think is very stupid.
