Buff Telesto

It’s not doing any damage in PvP. What if Bungie buff Telesto and the other fusion rifles in PvP?

    • Telesto is an infinite-range fusion with some additional functionality (area denial via orbs left on ground). It does not need buffs to be viable, and it is already one of the most popular Fusion options. The "top" Legendary fusions are in a good spot rn (when compared to nearly all other Special weapons). The issue is that slug shotguns are dominating the meta, and nothing counters a fusion better than a slug. Slug shotguns need a nerf, and then Fusions will be better. I would be fine with Bungie buffing underperforming Fusions or perks on Fusions to open up some variety - lol, it is mostly only Glacio, Zealots, Plug One, Etc. Lots of Fusions are left in the dust, because they don't have the right perks.

      • Came in to say telesto is feeling AMAZING in PvE, saw post is about PvP. I do not touch PvP, carry on.

        I don’t know. It can do some crazy things. Last time I took telesto for a PvP spin, I distinctly remember standing on A flag on on Pacifica and zapping a dude as he jumped up on the green tank on the catwalk. That’s got to be 30m plus.

        • Fusion rifles are in a good place, to the shagrin of shotgun apes They are good Telesto could use a PvE buff though, make it the monster it was in D1, give it attrition orbs, and drastically increase its damage vs bosses

        • Fusions are just barely under shotguns in pvp any buff would probably be too much. However they could probably give em a pve buff especially telesto. Maybe damage fall-off against pve enemies increased by 25% because right now thanks to the range boost shotguns get in pve they can go all the way up to adaptive fusion rifle range and aren't too far from precision and high impact fusions. Which with shotguns hitting harder and generally having a few more rounds than a fusion does it tends to make shotguns better. As for Telesto I would increase Telesto's damage by 25%. The thing hits like a wet noodle but needs to somehow get MULTIKILLS to get the perk active which the perk is like the only good thing about the gun in pve.
