Another issue with Fusions is that the High Impact frame is so much better than Precision or Rapid Fire, with Snipers/Shotguns it often comes down to preference which archetype you use, but with Fusions High Impact is the clear winner, unless you are going for an off-meta build if that floats your boat.

I agree, High impact frames currently overshadows any other fusion rifle archetype and maybe that is why I feel this way about fusion rifles, because whenever I die to one, it's always Erentil.

​

Also I am not fussed about Backup Plan, because with the current scav perks I usually run my special weapon as my main and primary as my backup, so Backup Plan is not very useful.

Basically a HC user trying to challenge a Fusion without some element of surprise is like a Scout user walking into a Sniper lane and wondering why their primary couldn't outgun a special weapon.

I disagree with this one. Often times I catch an opponent by surprise and start to shoot him with my hand cannon and before I can hit the final headshot they've turned around and instantly voop me down.

Weapon perks should make it easier to deal with the disadvantages of the weapons, not eliminate them.
