Fusion Rifles
So my impression from the weekly update is that the fusion rifles will function in a similar manner to the splaser of yore, though with 7 (get it?) rapid shots instead of one big one. I'd also assume that it is closer to a medium damage than the splasers crazy output.
I don't want to compare Destiny to Halo, but I can't help thinking of it in this situation. What are your guys thoughts on the subject? Am I off base?

4 RepliesAs bigrob mentioned in the last episode, I'd hope it was more like the plasma pistol on charge up. As powerful as the splazer was, it really was a niche weapon that took a lot of skill / patience to use well ( or maybe I'm just rubbish with it ) in any case, if it's the love child of a Spartan Laser, I would actively avoid it if I'm in the middle of a fracas. I'd hope the charge holds, so I don't freak out and ruin the shot at the second the thing is about to fire itself.

Just a little aside that rifle was rocking the future war cult faction logo just another example of faction specific weaponry! Also it seems like the kick that was mentioned happens in the burst as he said after you charge there are seven super fast shots ( I take to mean per charge and fire) these can take out multiple targets in a sweep so I would imagine each of the seven pulses adds a little kick. This being said if you were to aim low to center mass you might be able to account for kick at longer ranges if it kicks up. P.s remember the kick on the spartan rifle?

2 RepliesA charging weapon, rapid fire burst or not, needs to have a damage output to justify the wait. I personally hope fusion rifles will have medium-high damage in a DPS sense if it takes longer than a second to charge. Maybe the charge periods will be even shorter, though. Then the weapon could be a bit of an SMG substitute.
