User blog:Derp2000/Crucible 101: Fusion Rifles

Fusion Rifles are weapons that can do a very high amount of damage to a player. Like a shotgun, it sprays out bullets, but the only difference is that it can go farther than shotguns (Except for the Felwinter's Lie). Now if you're a a counfused on how to use this, then here are my tips:

1st Tip:

Weapon Loadout. Now you want to be using weapons that can do very high amounts of Damage, but still doesn't spray far enough so you can hit your target very quickly. You also want weapons that can charge very fast. The better guns are Plan C, Plug One.1, Murmur, and Many others.  You can also use weapons



like, The Vex Mythoclast, It's one of the best weapons, after the hidden patch in 1.1.2

2nd Tip:

Slow and Steady. Most weapons need to be slow and steady use. Fusion Rifles need time to charge. It's not like the Vex Mythoclast & Plan C that shoots out very quickly, you need to be careful of where they are. Don't go Rambo and charge while they're shooting at you. Sometimes, pre-firing is normal. You can basically hit the player early then switch to primary/heavy and easily kill them.

3rd Tip:

Short/Medium Range. Again, most weapons are not made to hit short ranges. Sometimes, you can actually shoot it on short range, that is, if you have a fast firing and accurate weapon. Maps like The Anomaly is not a great map for slow chaging weapons. You need a map that can go you shoot easily. Like Firebase Delphi. A great map for Fusion Rifles.

4th Tip:

 Pre-Firing. Since this spreads out, you can actually go pre-fire. 1st thing is because you pre fire and hit a player, just a little bit, can change the game. Another thing is that when people crouch with shotguns, this would really help you.

Those are my opinions to use the weapon, if you guys have other tips, please tell me.
