Advancements in directed energy disbursement were gained through dissection of hostile alien technology gathered in the field. The first implementation of this new technology resulted in the creation of fusion rifles. One of the first working prototypes was deemed too unstable for mass production due to faulty radiation shielding.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Drawing-Board-Conduit-F3/en/News/News?aid=11179 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny Drawing Board: Conduit F3'']</ref> Modern fusion rifles use a pulsing emitter in order to keep heat buildup to a minimum. Consequently, fusion rifles actually fire seven distinct beams in very quick succession. Because of this, users have had luck sweeping the weapon across multiple targets, eliminating all of them with a single fire event. | Advancements in directed energy disbursement were gained through dissection of hostile alien technology gathered in the field.

Fusion rifles are intended for medium range combat, significantly outpacing a standard shotgun, | Fusion rifles are intended for medium range combat, significantly outpacing a standard shotgun, and must be charged up to fire. The charge speed varies per weapon, but in general it makes the weapon significantly slower to fire than a shotgun. If the user is adept, they can bypass this delay by pre-charging the weapon before acquiring line of sight to his target. In terms of range, the fusion rifle is intended for medium range combat. While it was not built to handle long range combat, users that can tame its recoil and have a little luck on their side may find themselves picking off targets outside the approved range.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11545 '''Bungie''', ''Bungie Weekly Update - 05/16/2014'']</ref> | ||
