[quote]Ok, I think we can all say that we’re getting pretty tired of dying in less than half a second to an Erentil. Well boys I bring a solution for this. If you have any ideas to make it better, or any criticism, feel free to mention it, but otherwise here we go Backup Plan (Current): Halves charge time after swapping weapons My idea: Brings all fusions to a bass impact of 60-65 (at least a 5 bolt kill), and halves charge time after swapping I know this could definitely be improved upon, but I think this would give some other archetypes some time to shine, opting for a faster speed and therefore faster kill. Because all impacts would be the same with backup plan, you would have to decide if you wanted speed or range for your kill. I think this idea has a lot of potential, and I would love to see how it would work In our current sandbox! I have other ideas for backup plan (like maybe reduces the recoil direction to close to 0 instead for it to be horizontal), but hey I’ll let y’all do the talking[/quote] Since it’s not broke, it doesn’t need fixing. Dedicated fusion players learn to manage charge time which makes BUP a waste in that slot and it’s better to run range finder for more consistency.

Adaptive, rapid-fire, and precision frame fusions require 6 bolts to kill, so how could it make sense for high impact fusions to take 5 bolts to kill? Also, if players are so worried about getting killed in 4 bolts, run tier 7 or higher resilience. At this point players are complaining for the sake of complaining. “Bungie, remove backup plan, it’s too strong.” In other words: “Bungie, I like to straight line and ape with my shotgun, but backup plan makes that incredibly difficult for me. Please nerf it so I can continue my aping ways.”

Or maybe before calling for Nerf get yourself one and start using it, otherwise we'll have shotgun monkeys everywhere, fusions with backup plan are important in Crucible as they can stut down shotgun rushers easy!

In my opinion they should just replace it with quickdraw. Faster swap so you can quickfix the mistake of having a wrong gun out but retains the (purposeful) fusion playstyle shortcomings. BP was originally an exotic perk for a reason.

Perks like QuickDraw, Snapshot, Backup Plan, High Impact Reserves, Under Pressure, and Slideshot do not belong on special weapons. They incentivize using special weapons as a "get-out-of-jail-free" card instead of being something you use for scenarios where you NEED high damage, like dealing with Supers.
