With the December update coming out on December 8th Fusion Rifles are going to see some changes. As seen in the quotes below: [quote][b]FUSION RIFLES[/b] Fusion Rifles are nuanced weapons. Not only in how to use them effectively – the ability to track targets and predict movement being imperative – but also that the weapon stats can provide a variety of experiences. For example: High Stability will keep the projectile grouping closer together and improve your chance of hitting all shots. High Range will increase projectile speed and reduce the enemy’s ability to dodge the burst. Charge Speed will move the weapon’s role from reactive to anticipatory as it goes from fast to slow. Our hope in this patch is to make these player facing decisions easier to answer. Slow charging Fusions like the Omolon Thesan FR4 can push the effective range of fusions to the max. Faster charging Fusions like Split Shifter Pro will allow players to be reactive to close range threats. [b]Goals:[/b] Fusion Rifles are optimal at mid-range, where targets are easier to track but they’re not close enough to attack while charging up Requires combat foresight and the ability to predict a target’s movement to use successfully Accentuate close range/medium range effectiveness by tuning charge speed and stability Make players feel more judicious about spending ammo [b]Changes:[/b] Increase Charge Speed on fast charging Fusion Rifles, but reduce burst damage to compensate Fusion Rifles behave more predictably based on player state Reduced Hip Fire Stability for all Fusion Rifles Increased ADS and Crouched Stability for all Fusion Rifles Reduction in carried ammo inventory for all Fusion Rifles Increased base damage against AI combatants to 1.25x (was 1.15x)[/quote] So my question is what should we Fusion Rifle enthusiast be looking for in Fusion Rifles? Should we start using lower charge rate fusion rifles? Perhaps looking for fusion rifles with Rangefinder? Would it be wise to invest in fusion rifles with high stability? What do you think we should be looking for with this upcoming update? One thing I can say for sure is that Aiming Down Sights (ADS) might be the wisest things to do with our Fusion Rifles.
