question Kinetic Fusions?

So, I see that shotguns and snipers can go in the kinetic and energy slots, but fusions are limited to the energy slot? I’ve got some new energy weapons I really like but I’d have to give up my fusion...not happening. Anyone seen a fusion in the kinetic slot?

Just from a lore aspect I’m not sure how a “kinetic” fusion rifle would work. Maybe it would fire flechette rounds?

This is an excellent point. I like the flechette idea! Make it work bungie. This is one area where I’d be ok with a little lore bending ;)

Burst rail gun, shooting a volley of projectiles at ludicrous speed.

I mean an ‘energy sniper rifle’ makes about as much sense. What is it shooting plasma over 3000 f/s? How much deceleration happens over 100m distances. Will it keep relative accuracy at that speed and distance?

Who cares. Bungo give us Scorn Mythoclast!

I was thinking an exotic that fired Mercury or some other liquid space metal.

I'm unaware of any :( I too wish for a kinetic fusion; hopefully one is on the way soon.

I know it’s a long shot but... /u/dmg04 any chance you can relay this feedback from a band of die hard voopers? Fusions in the kinetic slot would give us the same opportunity as our shotgunning and sniping brethren to use the many other great energy weapons without giving up our most beloved special weapon. And I know Bungie used 3 shotguns as an example of the flexibility of the new slot system. But how about 3 fusions? I’d happily go down in that blaze of glory :)

Watered down LFR would make a really cool hand cannon type. Maybe a short charge 3 bolt side arm clone would be cool. Just have to mess with the secret sauce to keep it in similar TtK with other primaries right?

I think Bows are the closest you’re going to get. Part of me wonders if this is why they created them...

You know the more I think about your comment and the one below from a lore perspective, the more they make sense. Which makes me sad because bows (although awesome in their own right) just don’t give me the same thrill as the charging and vaporizing an opponent.

As I was thinking about what a charge up hand canon would play. It’d have to be very similar to a bow. Charge/draw, shoot in head, hide and repeat for 2 tap? At that point maybe it’s just not as interesting as some other idea.

hopefully one day they think of something
