 If you made it this far, thanks for reading! I hope this guide proves helpful for maximizing fusion rifle consistency and effectiveness here in the closing months of Destiny 1. As always with posts of this nature, please ask any questions you may have and share your own insights. There are much better and more knowledgeable players out there, so if I've stated anything here that contradicts your own experiences, absolutely share and discuss. Happy vooping!

 '''[[Stability]]''' reduces the amount of recoil experienced from each bolt. High Stability can compensate for low Aim Assist or Recoil Direction, and reduces the amount you have to manually control the reticle. Stability cannot overcome low Range — even with perfect aim, bolts are still subject to error angle, and will fail to magnetize if the error angle is too large. Further on in this guide, you may notice that I recommend prioritizing Stability last after all other stats. The reason for this is that Stability is the only stat that can be 100% compensated for by player skill if recoil is completely vertical. The other stats govern random elements that can't be compensated for no matter what, so priority should be given to minimize those elements. The reality, though, is that there are very few ways to boost Recoil Direction, and you may end up performing better with a high Stability fusion since it requires less manual effort in the heat of the moment. Fusion rifles with good Recoil Direction have a high performance ceiling, but Stability can raise the floor if you're struggling.

 [[Rangefinder]] shrinks the entire reticle by 10%, which matches the zoom magnification factor bonus of 1.1x that [[Rangefinder]] provides. In addition, it increases the visual size of your target (effectively increasing the aim assist circle relative to the target), and reduces relative recoil. Since [[Rangefinder]] provides a percentage reduction to the error angle, it provides greater benefits to low-Range fusions. A [[Thesan FR4]] with [[Hand-Laid Stock]] and [[Rangefinder]] (28 Range) has the same apparent error angle as a [[Panta Rhei]] with [[Rangefinder]] and [[Rifled Barrel]] (56 Range). Note that this isn't the same as a direct boost to Range, so magnetism would break down for the [[Thesan]] much earlier than the [[Panta Rhei]]. Interestingly, [[Rangefinder]]'s effect on the reticle only takes place while grounded. [[Rangefinder]] also slows ADS time by 25%. If you intend to use a fusion rifle at close range, the additional zoom and slower handling from [[Rangefinder]] may actually prove harmful in practice despite the on-paper benefits.

Both weapons have a Range stat of 65, and both have the same accuracy cone before and after firing.

 '''4-bolts''': These fusion rifles have the highest Impact and the longest charge times. Once all the bolts are out, they're the most consistent because they require the fewest bolts to kill. They're fantastic defensive weapons in the hands of a player that can anticipate and make up for their long charge times with excellent prediction skills. They can also strike from astonishingly long range, and kill revived enemies in Elimination gametypes. Their offensive use is limited, and the charge time is their biggest weakness. You cannot react quickly with a 4-bolt. Most 4-bolts have a charge time around 0.9s, longer than the optimal TTK of most other weapons. Excellent positioning, awareness, and clever use of cover are necessary to avoid being flanked, and to turn 3v1 and 2v1 situations into multiple 1v1s. 4-bolts tend to have low Aim Assist, requiring more skill and control on the player's part to maximize their effectiveness.

The reticle is a two-dimensional slice of these two elements at a certain, yet unknown distance.

-Previously, I had shared some observations regarding fusion rifle damage falloff and bolt speed. Those posts were far from conclusive, however, and the jury is still out on what exactly the Range stat does for fusions. After reading an informative post by /u/SevenMillion5, this comment by /u/ch4_meleon_, and the Massive Breakdown of Range, Accuracy, Aim Assist, and Stability by /u/Mercules904, I became determined to explore the question further. Analysis thus far has usually involved wall tests and lacked the presence of an actual Guardian target. This time I set out to observe fusion rifles as they behave with a target in front of them.

 For most weapons, when a round is fired, the error angle grows (bloom) and aim assist degrades until the error angle reaches maximum bloom and the aim assist circle completely disappears. [[Bloom]] resets between shots, eventually returning to initial accuracy. The same mechanics are in action for fusion rifles, but produce unique behavior.
-'''Fusion Rifle Reticle Behavior'''
+===Fusion Rifle Reticle Behavior===
 [[Fusion]] rifles fire 7 bolts across 7 frames. You may notice in the frame-by-frame above that the accuracy cone reaches maximum bloom immediately and only appears to reset after all bolts are fired. It resets very quickly, in just two frames. My educated guess is the accuracy cone as it appears one frame after the last bolt fires actually represents the accuracy of all bolts after the first. (That is, accuracy resets to this amount before the next bolt is fired, returning to maximum bloom again, which is what we see when the frame renders.) Aim assist does degrade over subsequent bolts, but never completely vanishes. This is because bolt magnetism is extremely important to making fusion rifles feel consistent; if bolts were purely random, fusion rifles would be frustratingly inconsistent outside close range. The key takeaways are that the first bolt is the most accurate, all 6 subsequent bolts are equally accurate, and the region where bolts can magnetize shrinks between the first and the last bolt.
