It's the secret to the Crucible. If I get heavy ammo and can avoid rocket launchers, I'm taking out 6+ people virtually every time. There isn't a single regular gun on the game that can beat a machine gun in a gun battle.
Yeah, it's pretty nice. It's not really a fusion rifle, though...it's basically an auto rifle like the Suros Regime. I mean, I guess it's technically a fusion rifle, but it definitely doesn't act like one with the kind of range and firing rate it his.
I can only imagine how it was before they patched it yesterday. They did a 41% overall damage reduction to it and 34% after kill damage reduction (it does more damage after you get a kill with it), and with the way I'm mowing down people now after the patch, I can only image how LOL worthy it was before.
