Shotguns effective range is further than a fusion rifle. If you're a shot gunner with blink you know why you use that set up. Where does the fusion rifle play against a blinking shot gunner? I challenge all guardians to use the fusion rifle for 5 games and see how your K/D shifts.

From someone who exclusively used them before the Nerf I can tell you they are trash now.... If you want to do well with a fusion you need these perks, hidden hand, perfect bal....ance, and range finder on a fusion that already has good range, and impact.. Good luck getting that...
