Destiny 2 - Merciless Fusion Rifle: Exotic Weapon

Merciless Fusion Rifle

The Merciless fusion rifle is a very interesting power weapon that allows its user to rapidly charge it by performing non-lethal hits on enemies. The charge will stop whenever the wielder successfully kills an opponent. Another useful feature of the weapon is the Impetus perk, which boosts the Merciless’ damage for a short period by reloading after a killing an enemy. Above all, this weapon is hailed as having one of the best DPS in the game.

Stats of the Merciless Fusion Rifle

Returning from the first Destiny game, the Merciless fusion rifle has impressive stats, though not uncommon for most power weapons. Of particular interest are its impact and reload speed, the latter made better by its Impetus perk. Its other stats can be enhanced with the right attachments. The Chambered Compensator and Fitted Stock improve its stability and recoil direction, while lowering handling speed. You can also choose to increase its magazine size woth the Extended Mag, though keep in mind that this will increase the Merciless’ reloading time.

Like all Power Weapons, replenishing the Merciless’ ammunition also presents a challenge as they are extremely hard to come by in the game. Because of this, most player opt to use the Rat King sidearm as a more sustainable alternative which uses common Kinetic ammo. Despite this, both weapons are extremely effective in Raids.
