Top 3 Best Fusion Rifles for Pvp Crucible in Year 3
Hi Guardians. Today I will be presenting you the Top 3 Best Fusion Rifles in the game that you should be using in the crucible.
First of all, Thanks to MAHB Ali for suggesting this topic, you are the Subscriber of the Day.
Feel free to suggest any topics for a video, I will go through all the submissions and pick one out for my next video. Just make sure that you are subscribed and leave your suggestion in the comment section.
So Before we start with the Top 3 let's have a look at how the Fusion Rifles are used in the current state of the crucible.
Fusion rifles are optimal in the medium to short range, where you are out of shotgun range but also not too far away where you can not hit your target.
Most noticeably is the charge rate that is needed to fire the gun and you also need to account for the travel speed of the bolts since This is not a hitscan weapon, the bolts will need time to travel from the barrel to the target.
Compared with other secondary weapons the Fusion Rifle weapon type is arguably the one that requires the most skill to master.
Luckily there are a couple of top tier perks that can help you make the most out of your Fusion Rifle. Top Tier perks are the ones that can increase range , stability , Aim assistance and recoil pattern to make your Fusion Rifle as consistent as possible.
Top Tier perks are:
Rifled Barrel
Braced Frame
Counter Balance
Hidden Hand
Rangefinder
And Linear Compensator for guns that have a Barrel option to choose from.
Obviously the Fusion rifles in the Top 3 have most of these perks so let me start with presenting to you the Fusion Rifle in the number 3 spot.
The King's Fall Raid Fusion Rifle the Midha's Reckoning.
This fusion rifle comes with the following perks:
Linear compensator
Accurized ballistics
Field Choke
Cocoon
Fitted stock
Lightweight
Braced Frame
And on the last perk I have Surrounded but this can be dropped with Hip Fire, Life support and Hot swap.
There are two perks that makes The Midha's Reckoning great and that is Linear Compensator and Braced Frame. These two perks boost the performance of this fusion rifle making it one of the best in the highest hitting impact archetype.
Braced Frame gives that extra needed stability boost and Linear compensator makes the recoil pattern only go up. It is actually one of the few guns where the recoil stat is a 100.
A high recoil stat means the more vertical the recoil is. This is actually what you want in a good Fusion Rifle since this allows you to easily manage the recoil by pulling the lever a bit down when you shoot the gun.
A low recoil stat will make the gun move more on the horizontal axis and that would be harder to correct for with your joystick.
So the recoil stat of 100 makes the Midha's Reckoning very easy to handle if you take into account the vertical recoil pattern. Just remember to pull the lever a bit down when you shoot the gun , to minimize the spread of your bolts and maximizing your 1 hit kill potential with this fusion rifle.
The Midha's Reckoning always comes with the same perks except for the last perk which differs per drop. For the most optimal Midha's Reckoning roll you will be looking for Hip Fire or Hot Swap on the last perk, whereas Hot Swap which grants you extra stability when you switch to the weapon will be the preferred choice.
In the second spot we have the old Crucible Vendor Fusion Rifle The Panta Rhei
Mine has
the Reflex scope
Red Dot ORA
And the OEG scope
Last Resort
Enhanced Battery
Rifled Barrel
Feather mag
And Rangefinder
The Panta Rhei already has great base stats and with my roll this has been given a Range boost with rifled barrel at the expense of reload speed and Rangefinder pushes that range out even more and on Fusion Rifles Rangefinder also helps with extra target acquisition as well.
Last Resort is somewhat of a wasted perk, ideally I would have Hidden Hand to give an extra target acquisition boost.
When you compare this with the Midha's Reckoning fusion rifle the Panta Rhei sits in a lower impact archetype so the impact is lower but it outperforms the Midha Reckoning in all the other attributes.
It charges faster, has better range, stability, reload speed, aim assistance and equip speed.
So as you can see it has great stats and with the combination of its great perks it just gives you a great experience where it maximizes the consistency of the gun making it so easy to use when you compare this with other fusion rifles. It feels very sticky and the recoil is very manageable due to the high recoil stat of 80. So that means the recoil pattern is most likely vertical which can be easily managed by pulling your gun down when you shoot.
The only downside of this gun is that you unfortunately can not buy this gun anymore as it was part of the previous Crucible Quartermaster Vendor weapon set. So you would need to rely on Crucible Weapon Packages or Fusion Rifle bounties to get your hands on a Panta Rhei.
But if you have one , check your roll on it, you might just have a gem in your vault right now.
Before I announce my number 1 pick, here are some honourable mentions.
Plan-C, this would be in the top 3 if it wasn't for the exotic slot that it requires to use this gun. But if you have an exotic slot open and you are planning to use a Fusion Rifle then this should be your number 1 pick.
The Telesto is the besto! I don't need to say more. (Great for Pve not so much in Pvp)
The Thesan FR4 from the gunsmith is also a great Fusion Rifle which is readily available, however you do need to be lucky to have it dropped on Arm's Day with a good roll.
In the number 1 spot we have the Saladin's Vigil from the Archon Forge.
My Saladin's vigil comes with
Linear compensator
Accurized Ballistics
Field Choke
Hammer Forged
Reinforced barrel
Quick draw
Accelerated coils
Unflinching
And Battle Runner
This is without a doubt the best Fusion Rifle in the game. It has fantastic base stats straight out of the box and most of the perks that it can drop with are useful to further improve the gun. Look out for Rifled Barrel and Braced Frame in the first column and Hot Swap or Range finder in the last column, these are the top tier perks for the gun. Unfortunately I don't have either of them but with my current setup with Hammer forged, Quick Draw and Unflinching this gun is still a beast. I can only imagine how it will be if it had those top tier perks.
The Saladin's Vigil has everything you need in a Good Fusion Rifle: high impact, range, stability, high aim assist and the recoil is very easy to manage with the use of Linear compensator.
This is without a doubt the king of fusion rifles, if you like to use fusion rifles then this is a must have in your weapon collection. The only downside of this gun is that it is really a long grind to get this weapon, it only drops from Archon Forge and the drop rates are pretty low.
It took me a couple of days of endless grinding until I got one dropped.
But it is totally worth it if you like to use fusion rifles.
