Allow Fusion Rifles to Crit
Fusion rifles don't see much use in PvE because they are out damaged by shotguns most of the time and require more time to shoot. If fusions were given the ability to crit it would reward slower shots for extra damage. (This is only a PvE post, and hope they dont give fusions the ability to crit other players).

1 ReplyI don't think fusions or shotguns should be able to crit. I like shotguns being high white damage at a short range instantly and fusions being high white damage at a medium range with delay The problem is shotguns crit, can be used too far away, and shouldn't be getting a fire rate increase with full auto. Having the exotic merciless which is killclip combined with a full auto that drastically increases rate of fire... yet it can't even out damage a growing wave of legendary shotguns just shows that Bungie has lost the damn plot.

Edited by ELRaSun: 12/29/2018 12:22:05 AMFusion Rifles as a weapon type can do more damage than shotguns, But shotguns will always have more DPS. Less than 3 secs to dump 10 shots with a good full auto shotty. 12-15 secs to dump 10 shots with a fusion. Even with keeping Merciless fully spun up (if you have a titan or warlock for auto reload) it’s still 2,000 damage less than EP. I’m not sure if crit damage is the answer or not. But something definitely needs to be done. I think crit could be good. It wouldn’t be any more broken than The Chaperone lol I’d like to see Fusions have more abilities to do status effect damage like Grenade Launchers can. Like a pinnacle roll arc fusion would do chain lightning, a god roll solar would cause burn damage, a god roll void could cause chain explosions. Add that with the ability to roll surrounded and feeding frenzy, now you’ve suddenly got Ikelos-level Fusion Rifles. Merciless and Telesto are cool. But, with the ammo economy and the actual DPS time... I’ll never equip them over an exotic heavy in PvE, except to complete a bounty. I don’t need an exotic to clear red bars.

We gotta have enough shots. My main ingredient holds 5 shots in the mag but it needs to hold 15+ in the damn reserves. Reserve ammo is killing fusions and legendary heavies. BUNGIE DO SOMETHING! Also it'd be nice if rocket launchers can hold 2 rockets again.

I mean. They can on raid bosses

Fusions shots go through enemies. Line em up if you want to take of the weapons abilities. Understand why they don't crit when it can voop a line of trash mobs in one burst.

Yeah Telesto with crit damage. There's no way to split it so you can crit shot in PvE and not in PvP and TBH fusion rifles so an insane amount of damage in PvE without crit damage. I used Telesto on the Volundr boss before with a tether oh my it melted him.

That and slug shotguns both need help in pve

Agreed

Fusions are way too inaccurate to get precision damage. They just need higher base damage to make up for the charge time and lack of precision damage. Add penetrating rounds or something.

6 RepliesI use a fusion rifle in pve all the time, I seldom use a shotgun unless I need it specifically. Fusion out range shotguns and are more fun, specially telesto.
