[quote]EDIT: Fusion main bots swarming on cue. I love it. 😂[/quote] Got that backwards. Post by a player who is whining and wants Fusion rifles broken----again---because he doesn't want to put in the effort to learn how they work...what their weaknesses are...and how to adapt. Fusion rifles weren't "held in check" in D1....they were rendered broken and unusable. (Its why "nerf fusion rifles got to be such a persistent meme, that the devs actually had to BEG us to stop using it. First time I've ever seen a dev throw in the towel like that.) A fusion rifle is SUPPOSED to be a mid-range, OHK SPECIAL weapon. It is held in check by 1. Its limited ammo supply. 2. Its charge up time. 3. The need to track a moving target. The charge up time puts a triple pressure on the FR user, because not only does it leave the user vulnerable during the time the weapon is charging up, it forces the user to track and time his shot properly so that the weapon fires at a time where the projectiles will hit the target, and lastly it demands accuracy. Because if you fail to get the OHK....odds are you are going to die. You're opponent will kill you before you manage to get a second shot off, or switch to your primary. Which makes it a high-risk/high-reward weapon. Like a shotgun. The people who -blam!- about fusion rifles fall into a few predictable categories. To a man, they are unidimensional players for whom FRs are a hard counter to their preferred play style. Since they can't adapt to their presence....they demand that Bungie break them. 1. Hand cannon users that either make poor use of cover...or refuse to accept that they are not supposed to win ecounters at mid-range against someone using a HI FR. So they keep wading into fights where they are at a disadvantage.....and losing. But instead of changing their poor tactics...they scream that the weapons are OP and need to be nerfed. 2. Shotgun rushers who are overly aggressive, and don't know how to advance under cover. So they go rushing at a FR user over open ground. Used to leveraging the slow TTK of the games primary weapons and simply face-tanking primary weapon fire on the way in. ONly a HI FR has the range to reach out and kill these players on the way in. But instead of refining their rush technique....they demand nerfs. 3. Snipers who lack the skill to acquire their targets and get their shots off quickly. These players tend to hardscope....and lose situational awareness. That---and the fact that most them sit stock-still while they are scoped in----makes them easy targets for any competent FR user. The result is that these guys are so (literally) tunnel-visioned that they're dead before they realize their in trouble. They -blam!- about FR being over powered....when they didn't even bother to hear the sound of the weapon being charged up. The fact is that FR are in a good place right now...and they are easily managed by good players who have taken the time to familiarize themselves with what this weapon class can-and-can't to...and ADAPT accordingly. Erentil needed to be adjusted because that ONE weapon had too many range and stability perks in its tree. Which allowed a small number of god-rolled weapons to act too much like a linear fusion rifle, than a standard one. So you wound up with people making fusion rifle shots at scout rifle ranges. But that problem has been addressed....and if you're struggling with FR users at this point? [i]Get good.[/i] Take the lesson, adapt and get better.

Fusions are in a great place right now. So are swords. I main both

I'm sure all you do is post for nerfs lol

You mistyped it. It should be. ALL high impact weapons need a rework.

I Agree, they make rapid fusion irrelevant.
