The art of fusion rifling

I'm sure many know the power of fusion rifles. I'm an average player with a 1.05 KD (though unlike last week i usually go 1.33+ for my weekly KD) but even I can use a fusion rifle to it's fullest. There are plenty of great videos about it, but mainly, here is a list of things to do/keep in mind: 1.You do not need to aim before you charge if you can see the enemy 2. If you can't see the enemy yet, feel free to aim without charging, but be wary in case they run around with a shotgun 3. Don't stand too close to corners 4. A primary with quickdraw never hurt, and can finish off kills in record time if your fusion rifle doesn't 5. The burst of a fusion rifle is much more spread when shooting in the air, and airshooting should just be avoided at all costs 6. the pre-charging you do as you wait for someone to come by so you can grab the kill faster [i]is[/i] audible, so I suggest not doing it and instead backing up a bit, but either is fine. 7. Aim somewhere between the crotch and the wasitline of the enemy to deal as much damage as you can 8.Remember to keep mind of your sights and your location in relation to the enemy, all 7 shots do not come out at once and can be interrupted if you are killed. 9. whether it's high charge rate low impact or low charged rate high impact you will have to shoot a full charge, so go for something in between. 10. It's probably not smart to charge twice on someone if they have 3/4 health or less, and have a shotgun. A primary will usually finish up just fine, but if you are partially charged by the time you think about this, just finish the charge and hope they don't kill you first Feel free to add some other good guidelines to getting kills with FRs or comment about experiences with/against FRs and other things related to the topic.

    • I've only started using fusion's a lot in year two, but so far, Susanoo/Thesan/Telesto/Split Shifter/Perun's Fire/Praetorian Foil are my favorites. Susanoo is my favorite.

    • Stability Stability Stability Don't sleep on it. Charge time is nice but a stable fusion is basically shot package with more range lol. You should always be right outside of shotgun range and a little in front of pulse/scout range. You can sweep the shot and tag people.

        • Before you use a fusion, know its recoil pattern. If you don't then good luck on consistent 1hk. Never prioritize impact over charge or vice versa. Always look for the middle. High sensitivity on your controller will help you. Try and find the optimal where you will be firing as you do a 180. 7-8 is about right for the Thesan FR4. Don't ever release a charge in combat, even if it's wasted. Most people will dip in and out of cover to avoid the shotgun blast, they won't expect it to actually help you. Remember to play the weapon's strength. It will out range even a Felwinter's easily. It has maybe a little more range than an HC but don't push it. But above all else, play to your strong suit. Even against the OP's opinion, you can try for midair attacks. Not going to tell you how many times my life has been saved by dropping down a ledge and hitting that drive by status

          • Light/Beware was my godly fusion rifle. You could damn near snipe with it pre nerf. I will equip it on my Titan if you want to see the rolls.

          • I've been running a Susanoo/First Curse combo. I'm not very good with Hand Cannons, so I am not super effective with it, but I have lots of fun.

            "Peruns fire" pre fusion rifle nerf, was godly. I've never gotten so much hate mail as i did when i used that. Ahh good times, id hit snipers 75 yards away all day.

            • My personal favorite roll for a fusion rifle is: Hip-fire Braced frame eye of the storm Shame I can't get it to drop... would like it on a fast-mid charge rate. I NEVER have fusion rifles drop for me... its really sad actually. Also a high impact primary like a scout of hand cannon with fast swap is great to use with fusion rifles. helps if you don't 1 shot.

                • I'm also an avid fusion rifle user. Went all 3 of my flawless runs getting no other special kill besides fusion rifles. It was so much fun. It's hella satisfying to kill with cus you know you aren't using something broken asf to win. It's a fresh feeling. I love fusion rifles. & Susanoo is my BABY! Lol

                    You need to change number 7 to the crotch area to ensure you don't accidentally go over the shoulder. Another good thing is get a couple fusion rifles and get good with a slower charge fusion and work into faster charge fusion rifles it will help allot in pvp especially when you get bum rushed by a shot gunner. The pvp god roll imo would be split shifter pro with hip fire, rifled barrel, hidden hand aka the Bain of all shotguns

                      The Thesan-FR4 is the only current Fusion that can actually be used and compete against top tier shotguns IMO, reminds me of old school Fusions although not quite as good.

                      • Telesto tip: If you know someone will be rounding a corner, shoot the ground at the corner on your side and let him run through the void bursts, then finish him off with your primary. Works wonders in rumble.

                        • Does range do anything for fusion rifles? Or stability is the better stat to go for?

                          • You can also learn to control the spread of fusion rifles, with practice and discipline, you can learn the recoil pattern, if you move your joystick against the recoil it will condense all 7 rounds...or you can jerk the joystick in diff directions to spread out your rounds, but it takes a lot of practice and excellent timing... Basically I'm saying you can manipulate where and how your fusion rounds spread out or condense... Fusion rifles are so much fun, and deadly in the right hands...
