Fusion Rifle spread nerf in 1.1.1 update ruins Crucible for Fusion weapon lovers, BUNGIE, please fix!!!!
Hi all,
It is my sad duty to report that the recent Fusion Rifle nerf in update 1.1.1. "Widened blast pattern on a Fusion Rifle burst cone" has effectively RUINED the Crucible for Fusion lovers.
I have been playing almost every day since X-mas when I got Destiny, and have been using the same Fusion in the Crucible the whole time, my trusty Plug-One. Since I have been using it every day for months, I know it inside and out, its my favorite gun in the game and now it is WORTHLESS in the Crucible.
The "spread" has reduced my effective range to that of a close up weapon, I fired into a friend to test it at different ranges, and I'm sick to my stomach as to the results. The spread widening has made the fusions into a close quarters only weapon, and since they take so long to charge, why would anyone use them over a shotgun now>???
Fusions are supposed to me "mid-range" guns, but i can't reliably hit someone that is almost right in front of me anymore!!!!!
This is ridiculous, it is a HUGE change!!!!!!!
All my friends that are fellow Fusion lovers are very upset, alot have refused to even play crucible anymore due to the horrible nerf. It is very painful to play Crucible anymore, I play the exact same as i have for months, and one nerf has changed the whole game for the worse.
Please, Bungie, reconsider the spread nerf, it has affected the Fusions TOO MUCH!!
thank you for listening

It's a fine change to PvP really, the problem is it makes them near worthless in PvE right along with shotguns.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it needs to get fixed.

Oh no! Baby can't snipe with his fusion rifles no more? Pobrecito :'c Baby has to use his primary now ? Ohhhh nooo :'( Guess you'll have to join the modern world of any other guns. Stop whining you fûcking scrub, use a pulse rifle or hand cannon, or sniper rifle.

1 ReplyEdited by Guardian7477: 3/1/2015 6:28:02 AMWhy? I am still getting sniped across the map by fusion rifles even though I am strafing.

4 RepliesI actually took the Plug into crucible to feel out the nerf. Yes, the ridiculous sniping range is no more. I like that. I always felt that running fusion almost pigeon-holed you into using the darn thing the whole match (and why wouldn't you, plug pretty much did everything). Now it is more difficult to get a one shot at mid range (~assault rifle range), but can be done if you place the shot at the center of the body. If you check your distances, stay patient with your shots, and have a fall back point, fusion rifles can still be very profitable. You'll still have to lean on a primary and play to your range advantage. Working as intended. However, I'm worried that without having to answer to as many assault rifles and fusion rifles, shotguns will become a bit overused. The most effective shotgun counters (assault rifles and fusion rifles) both got nerfed. The shotgun nerf is barely noticeable.

Murmur and plug 1 still snipe

Hard to believe you noticed much of a change, because I haven't and I've been playing much longer than you. Plus quit bitching, the fusion rifle is made for crowd control, not single target decimation nimwit
-
And for this, I thank you Bungie. I hate being killed from across the mad with a damn fusion rifle. If it's close range, cool. But more than half the time it's from pussies across the map. Thank you Bungie! And to the OP QQ

You all took the b8

1 ReplyI don't even notice a change lol.

Good. Most annoying thing is when someone runs around with a fusion the entire match. Doesn't include Vex, because I know someone will say something.
-
Oh shit say it aint so!!! Why bungie why?!? Why did you nerf the crutch for half of the community?!? Lol please do you think anyone cares about fusion rifle users? God forbid that fusion rifle guys have to actually develop skill in order to do good??? Oh -blam!- off! Im glad they nerfed the spread of fusion rifles. Its one thing if someone gets at close range, thats the players mistake, but still being able to snipe someone at long range with a fusion rifle? Bullshit. So fusion rifle users have two options and only two options: quit the game or pick up a primary and actually get good.
-
Thanks Bungie for nerfing these noob weapons
-
It affected bad FR users, as it was intended to do.
-
The nerfs they have made has done exactly what they wanted. It's weeding out the people who use those weapons as crutches but those who are skilled with weapons see no difference in the weapons.

2 RepliesYou sure your not bad at aiming?

You are the reason they were nerfed because of noobs running around using only them I'm so happy with the 1.1.1 patch

14 RepliesDon't understand why they nerfed fusion rifles in the first place. Shotguns are OHKO's at close range, easy to aim. Fusion Rifles were OHKO's at mid range, harder to aim. Sniper rifles are OHKO-THKO at super long range, hardest to aim. None of them needed nerfs or buffs, but scrubs who couldn't counter fusion rifles complained. I had to dismantle my poor crucible fusion rifle because it simply wasn't good enough. Vex, murmur, pocket infinity, and plan C are the only decent fusion rifles left. Even murmur is really only for PvE.

Welcome to destiny haha. The first update that pissed me off was the one about the vex & pocket infinity (way before Christmas time) - it took the two best exotics and made them two of the worst guns. I was pretty upset about it for a while but then I started using other weapons and changed up my play style. Last word dropped for me that week so I began using that and had a lot of fun. I'm sure fusion rifles will get a buff sometime in the future if it's really that bad (I have played crucible since the update) just don't expect it to happen any time soon.

1 ReplySo you had plug one the day it came out...
-
I made my peace with the fact that Bungie will nerf the shit out of everything I love (PlugOne.1 and HandCannon fan over here) and make everything as much of a close range weapon as they can. So I decided to stick with my Badger CCL with Rodeo/Rangefinder/Explosive Rounds and pick off all the nerfed HandCannons, Fusions, Shotguns, Autos, and others.

My vex mythoclast works fine...
