Fusion Rifles
Fusion rifles are broken - simple suggestion to fix them:
Decrease the size of the reticle on all fusion rifles and reduce their spread to make it a sort of focused fire beam weapon. This would keep their damage and range the same for pve, but make them harder to score kills with in pvp - and lets be honest you are not going to miss that enormous boss with your fusion rifle regardless of reticle size to any pve people who want to cry about pvp/pve balance here.
As they are now, with their large reticles and spread and insane effective range (especially if you have the aim down sights perk) - they are a low to mid/high range shotgun and can absolutely ruin games especially the smaller 3v3 modes.
Again, I have no problem with their damage or range, but they have the spread of a shotgun and a reticle size to match - it needs to be fixed because they are not fun to encounter and are far too easy to use.

3 RepliesI feel like they are a crutch weapon. Young/inexperienced players use them to perform as well as they can. I cant use one worth squat, I'm a sniper. But my little brother never ever missed a kill. ever. just my opinion though.
-
all i have to say is they are patching fusion rifles exactly as outlined here - deez nuts u little scrotums using those shit guns.

TBH whenever I die to a fusion, Im blaming myself for being a knob. I either didnt move, rushed head on or should have beat a retreat. In all fairness I dont often feel hard done by in the crucible. More by iffy connectivity than anything. And I have a sneaky suspicion I know exactly what causes those mind-bending kill trades. If I am right, I wont be terribly impressed...

I do agree that the exotic almost no charge time pritty long range fusion rifle is a bit OP. The normal fusion rifles pritty much suck. My exotic shotgun does close and med range damage and is also op. Why are they overpowered maybe because there exotic?? On the other hand my exotic handcanonn is op too i hit someone longrange with 2-3 bullets and they die. Best mainweapon there is :)

I'm sorry, but your subjective view of what gun is "fun" to encounter is irrelevant to the rest of the PVP world. Fusion rifles are one of the few remaining weapons that are working as they should that haven't been nerfed yet. Bungie has already turned into Hasbro with all the nerfs they've thrown out since launch because of people complaining about a gun. If they hadn't nerfed shotguns, people would still be using them exclusively and you'd never even hear about fusion rifles. They should've left well enough alone and not changed anything except maybe the range/accuracy of auto rifles. The only buff they've done is to scout rifles and that was still kind of weak.

7 RepliesFusion Rifles are not broken. Range falloff, maybe... But they aren't that solid of a choice as a weapons. If you're going to get in someone's face, in ANY SHOOTER, pray that they don't have a close range weapon.

5 RepliesOnly legendary or exotic fusion rifles are even worth having. The ones used in Pvp have high impact with good and/or great range and charge time, so while they are used a lot, there isn't a huge variety of good ones

2 RepliesVex mythoclast > secondary fusion rifles.

3 RepliesThey are designed to be laser beam shotguns. Decreasing their spread would just make them a laser, they are perfect how they are now.

Do you people even crucible? The range fall off is broken. I do not care if most of them suck, the fact is that enough of them are good. 77 Wizard, Final Rest, Plan C - dont even get me started on Pocket Infinity. I am not interested in sub level 20 guns in crucible either - that is entirely another issue - and the minute you hit level 20 you are a few days away from owning a 77 wizard if you put in the work - a gun whose impact and range are so good that only the tail end of the burst has to touch you to kill you at most forms of range. And don't mention charge time - we all know the fix for a long charge time you have heard people running around spamming their charge all game I am sure. So to recap here: MANY not all, fusions rifles are too easy to aim for the range in which they are effective. Either range fall off should be added or the reticle size should be reduced because they are mid range shotguns right now. I should not be getting killed by fusion rifles while ripping head shots at mid range with a hand cannon - I am sorry but the sights on those guns is far too large to give them that kind of power.
