As we know, fusion rifles are the least used special weapon type in Destiny. Fusion rifles were a very good, borderline OP weapon type until they were nerfed. Ever since then, the weapon has become obsolete, and useless, which is sad because it is such a cool concept to have an energy weapon. In the weapon rebalancing notes in Update 2.0, we all expected a significant buff, something that will stand a chance against shotguns, but we were hit with very little adjustments, and a slight nerf!? Suggesting a PVE oriented base damage buff to make them a legitimate option for AI ass-kicking.
Please help bring attention to a dying weapon type in Destiny.

Fusion rifles were BROKEN in the early days. Easiest kills ever. They could make anyone good. Blue ones, green ones, didn't matter. Their power and effective range made them really unbalanced. The Pocket Infinity used to be a terror. The concept of them is still really cool. I don't think they should OHKO with a body shot. Make the spread more narrow and have them reward precision hits. You could spray someones toe with one and vaporize them. Maybe make the fastest charge rate class a little slower too.
