I really hope Bungie, that you pay attention to this post. Erentil is a weapon that has large usage in survival on console. It needs a range nerf and the perk "Backup plan" to be removed from the weapon. A fusion rifle SHOULD NOT be able to kill you at Pulse rifle range. And the perk , "Backup Plan" should not exist on such a weapon. Hand cannons got a nerf because they could three tap at such range, but nothing was ever done to fusion rifles. A "God Roll" Erentil is an easy way to win, especially with backup plan and TAKES NO SKILL to use. You are losing a considerably large player base because of this and I hope you take into consideration to look into this and give it the tweaking it deserves.
Edit: I was extremely upset at the time of this posting because I faced 3 erentils and a jotunn in survival and also faced it twice again a couple of matches later. I still stand by my argument to nerf erentil, if not it's range, backup plan for sure. Also, wish it was taken it out of managerie and make it only available via Gunsmith.

Edited by michael: 1/19/2020 5:04:49 PMI think that backup plan is the only truly broken thing. Someone is around a corner, you see them on your radar and back up so you don’t get shotgunned, they slide and swap at the same time vaporizing you in .4 seconds. There is literally no counterplay at all to that. You don’t know if they have a fusion because there is no charge time audio queue so you just have to guess, and the only way to counter it is guessing correctly what they will do and run away. But running away isn’t really a counter, when something can only be countered by running from it it is overpowered imo. I think the range is pretty insane and annoying but tolerable. It allows people to primary fusions and gets very annoying to go against but it isn’t as broken as backup plan.
