RESPAWN NEEDS TO SAVE FUSE!!! (Apex Legends - Season 9)

►The Legend of Season 8 got a small buff in Season 9, where Respawn gave him an extra Knuckcluster... sadly I don't think it's enough. Fuse needs more love!! Sponsored by Apex Gaming PCs: Check them out here: apexgamingpcs.co/kandyrew and use code "KANDY" for 5% off.

[@kmerc4526]

My personal ideas for a buff: -Make Fuzes ult more consistent, so that when it touches someone it will always do the standard damage. -Make the fire on Fuzes ultimate slightly higher and slightly thicker to make it harder for basically all mobility legends to escape it. -Make the fire do slightly more damage to further discourage people from simply jumping through the fire to escape it, forcing them to actually think about escaping and taking large amoubts of damage or holding their ground. Defenitely not enough to kill them, but right now it only does 75 damage(i think) if it was something like 90 just because of touching the flames it would heavily discourage and prevent people from crossing the flames, and increase its potential as a zoning ability. 90 damage might be to much so that’s Defenitely up for debate. -Make him immune to his own grenades and abilities as part of his passive -possibly increase the slow down effect on the tactical to further negate mobility advantages from other legends. I dont think all pf these should be incorporated at once. These are merely some suggestions i have to make him stronger as a character. Feel free to make suggestions in the comments or yell me how some of these buffs can be better

[@smoothcriminal4618]

They can maybe give him Movement via his Nades (I re-watched the vid and I swear I didn't know it was mentioned) Since movement is the most important thing in Apex that wouldn't be a bad Idea Also his ultimate as you said should actually *trap* your enemies

I think an interesting Fuze change would be if you hip-fire the Motherlode, it shoots straight forward and instead of a ring of fire would make like a blanket of fire (potentially cutting off rooms/ sections of rooms). You could keep the huge arcing shot that creates a ring of fire, but make it so you need to ADS/ Zoom in w/ it before you fire. Also maybe give him immunity/ resistance to fire from other Fuze's ults, like Caustic being immune to enemy gas.

[@okaexy]

[@cosmicmotion9540]

You mean like Phoenix from Valorant?

[@Piman1607]

I still think they should change his passive so he only long throws grenades when you hold the ADS button with grenades out or he normal throws if you hold ADS. Having the option would be nice as there are some circumstances where a normal throw is better.

[@RedPandaStan]

Fuse has the potential to have a really strong kit. I'm a fuse main, and when fuse works he works really well, but when he doesn't you might as well just play wattson for the better animation set. I think the two biggest things I would want is for the knuckle clusters to slow people down who are hit by them, so you can cover your rotations better (you can already sort of do this, but if people know just to push through them it doesn't work), and I want the damage tracking that fuse gets from his ult to be seen by everyone, so all people on his team get the info from his ult too. Obviously the ult should be made a tiny bit more consistent, but I think the people who say that it's impossible to hit don't realize you can ads with right click for 3x zoom and make it much easier to hit. I really think as he is right now, he's better than someone like rampart, people just use his gadget completely wrong and when you do that with fuse you actively hurt yourself.

[@kirumitojo6780]

STFU I main Watson

[@xx7196]

Same i main fuse, and i think the ultimate should be a piñata of nades, where there are like 5 frag grenades in the circle. His tactical is good for cleaning up a kill when you miss those couple last shots.

@Jaden Babalai or you can make a nice fire house for your enemies in the open and chuck some explosives there. They either take damage, or they take damage. Unless one of them happens to use a movement ability

[@bigshinyshark1709]

Buff concept: the flames for his ultimate ability are a little higher, the fire forms an x within the circle (saw that on reddit) his knuckle cluster can be thrown when healing/reloading/ any other animation that prevents him from using it. (Like how Bangalore can throw the smoke while reloading/healing.) This final one may be too much, but the knuckle cluster should do an extra tick of 5 damage (make it more intimidating) Cheers!

[@MightyBrownTown]

The finisher at 12:15 is perfect. You've fallen in the bathroom and the Ol' boy Fuze himself is there to greet you faster than Life Alert.

[@sined911]

Removing the slow effect from his ult for teammates, would be a good buff for fuse. Possibly fuse doing a little more damage with grenades/his ult, would also be acceptable. His tactical should probably slow people just as much as Valkyrie too. I think he needs a lot of attention sadly.

[@nolancorey4262]

One thing that could majorly change the way Fuze plays/hits. Is make is ultimate more quiet. I've noticed whenever you pop it everyone just scatters. Make it a bit more subtle and people won't know what hit them.

[@amnda127]

“why you say it like a fast food order?!” 😭😭💀

[@shawn5809]

I would make the knuckle clusters detonate slower, it'll allow for longer zoning and defense in a pinch. I would also change his ult to be a thicc line like a giant thermite instead of a ring, because realistically, the ring never traps anyone anyways.

[@corvansexama5998]

I've thought about it so much and i feel that fuse should have a secondary to his ult, like he can choose to shoot it super for away with the first one and its basically like the original one, but the second one shoots in a closer range like 50m and instead of a circle it makes a pit, like when he was first teased. Also take one cluster away to make it fair.

[@kardez506]

His Ult should be a bunch of mini-bombs like when we had the teaser. Same circumference as the current, but 5 mini circles within it

[@lanl4311]

I think something that would be cool would be to change his ult around , it’s big clunky and obvious and with those flaws it doesn’t do a lot. I think it should shot it out in a cone forward, Imagine a 45 or so degree triangle poking out from fuse, it shoot out fire and lands within that area, almost resembling a section of a web with bigger space towards the far side. I think something else that would be cool is to make his cluster do different things, keep the cluster, add like a 3 foot circle of fire cluster, a cluster that can pull in enemy a little; etc. But that’s be hard to balance

[@harveypearce8493]

Love you kandy

[@mill336]

Be able to ping that you are looking for grenades and if fuse could carry more ammo, to allow him to carry his grenades. Thoughts?

[@MarioWT1]

my thoughts on how to buff fuse. 1st.. his q will not interrupt his shooting ( like revenant or mirage ) his ult.. if it hits someone as soon as it touches the ground it will not do 10 dmg .. it will do atleast 35 - 50 dmg but wont take dmg over time. unless he walks into it ( like the normal )

[@Madeingyna]

So you guys remember when they were teasing Fuse and when you were running around there were a ton of mortars on the ground that exploded if you shot them? I think his ultimate ring of fire should essentially turn an area (comparable to the current ultimate) into a minefield essentially. Countered by the other team getting out of the area of affect fast but capitalized by the fuse and his squad by shooting the mines/mortars to blow them up and damage the enemy squad.

[@coreonJ]

I agree with the ult change. Having the fire just cover a small area and do like 50-75 damage over time would be nice. Similar to crypto ult.

[@austinwiththef150]

Congratulations on the new car🙏

[@lukefarmer4239]

Since Fuse has 3 knuckleclusters on his belt, it makes sense for him to have 3 in-game at same time making him immune to his own explosions. Specifically, I would like for him to be immune to his fire from the Motherlode. Also at the same time, he could carry grenades as a three-stack instead of two turning grenades into ammunition in a pinch. He is the master of BOOM, so just give him more BOOM!

[@Azrael_TTV]

Hi Kandy I'm a Fuse main (10k kills) in my opinion Fuse Ultimate needs a buff, an instant damage when the Motherload drop on the enemies (not the actual5-10 dmg) and a real Wall Of Fire so you can't just jump over like it's not even there. The Ultimate is really effective indoors to block acces or even blow up an entire room but it's not easy pull off. The passive is great but i would love to have the choice on my "Type of Throw" sometimes a normal throw is a better option. The Tactical is great you can hold angles, finish low targes and deal great damages over time. I think the main issue is his lack of mobility in the Meta of the game. Now days every legends are just flying around avoiding zones damages and he can't fully unleash his kit. In conclusion, you can either insta kill an entire squad or die trying cause you have no escape at all. Hope you will read this, kepp up the good content, - Walter Fitzroy

[@rebornvisualministry]

I finally unlocked Fuse, I've won several matches with him, I would have won more if it weren't for the fact that his indicator for his alt is inaccurate. It shows it will land somewhere but it either lands right next to you because of ricochet or it lands in a few mt before the marker. That would be a nice buff for him, accurately depicting where his alt will land accounting for ricochet.

[@VikingHill83]

Kandy went full agro mode dannnngggg

[@RonohTheFirst]

I feel like fuses tactical should speed out random sturps of fire, would keep with his pyroexplosive theme while making it so his tactical could actually hold people out of a spot a little longer

[@thecorrectoification]

The only time I ever stick someone is with Fuse. And I once wiped a squad who were all at critical health using just the motherlode. I think he can be boss. My only sore spot is I think the knuckle clusters have too much of a delay from when you press the button or key to when they actually fire. And I think instead of two of them, it should be one but do more damage and increase the spread. Make it a real nuisance and hazard to get caught up in it. I actually think the motherlode is great. I love how directly aimable it is. For example, I like that it isn't a thrown object like bang's and gibb's ult's. And even though it rains down, you aim it directly and know exactly where it will ring around. I love that. Maybe tweak the damage up a little, maybe not. I usually get pretty good results with it. And yeah, the passive is fantastic. I'm not a great player and it gets me arc sticks. I almost NEVER get sticks with other legends. And I get them rather easily with him.

[@TheArkBoi]

I feel like fuses ult would be more useful if it was like a long wall of fire instead of a ring. That way you could manipulate rotations and deny a entryway.

[@EJCT777]

I think one way I’d buff Fuse is by making his tactical deploy faster. Trying to use it mid combat is super impractical because of how long it takes to load, aim, and fire the knuckle cluster. So taking off the loading animation so right when you pull out your knuckle cluster it’s already primed and ready to fire could make it a touch more viable.

[@nejiman12]

Fuse is my favorite all time. I think the biggest change they could make is allow your squad to see the damage from the ultimate. As it stands, your team won’t know unless you say something that your ultimate has hit and is affecting them and allows for the push to finish the enemy off.

[@gdogpocket9883]

What if the clusters blow up on impact like a Bangalore smoke instead of a timer

[@conerray9265]

I sometimes think the knuckle cluster should detonate on proximity, like a caustic trap.

[@TheBuddy303]

Ganase resistance would be kinda cool for fuse, not immunity but maybe start with like 50% less damage and reduce that as needed for nerfs

[@lukerode4093]

What about his passive is he just has a slot for 2 of every grenade with out taking back pack space? May only four slots

[@thatonerandomturtle8509]

remember what his ultimate was gonna be (just a giant explosion) ya he kinda needs that

[@NeonXXP]

Fuse Suggestion: His fire circle splits in two, one contracts by 50% and one grows by 50% on ground terrain only, like a wild fire. Its also can be fired at a lower trajectory based on how close he aims just like a grenade.

[@claytonchildress2446]

i think fuses ult should be able to shoot forward and up there should be a key for it like there is with single fire and auto you should be able to click that and have an option to shoot high like it is right now or shoot farther and straighter it would make it to where if you’re inside you can shoot his ult without it hitting the ceiling you would be able to shoot it kinda like his cluster but the fire ring would be smaller and filled with fire and if you shot it with the high option it would be a big circle surrounding the opponent

[@ferdithetank7535]

His passive could use a special buff so it can stack up to 2 grenades of same type to launch at once. Making deadly barrages would be much more fun and tactical. And yeah, basicaly what everyone else said about ult: Higher, Thicker, with inner ring and better consistency accross terrain.

[@sociologycosmic4510]

fuze i think like tf2 demoman both of them has strongly area defence but there is a weapon for demoman called sticky jumper with do no damage and also like the vid says in 9:35 can travle quicker which fuze is missing is he have a strong area defence when like fight in a room or something but when he is in big area he can hardly making damage and also he go slow speed compare to other character like octane or horizon which make his ability not too useful.

Best and only buff i can think to make fuse useful, is to make his Ultimate close in overtime like the ring

[@davidhernandez8293]

i think the buff needs to be done to his tactical hear me out, this could be cool cooking clusters. when you whip out your tactical and shoot it without cooking it, it will serve as the actual cluster. when you whip it out when its mid cook or almost full cook, it will no longer be a series of explotions, but just one big explotion with more damage and less area of impact. and if you cook it fully and you dont shoot it, it will explode in fuses arm, causing him damage that propels him backwards; this can be used to his advantage to shoot himself upwards or in any direction opposite that he is pointing towards, also this could work by reducing his grenade damage intake in a 25% that could Make fuse a more fun legend that had a learning curve to pull of the grenade jumps and more viability to new tactics using this legend:) sorry for My English, its not that good

[@1terry260]

Kandy how long do the gmg glasses comes

[@CustodianArchra]

Hmm off the top of my head ideas to buff Fuze its a complicated situation with his buffs - Knuckle Clusters do more damage to the stuck targef (small percentage increase) if they're stuck to enemies. Possibly have a small damage buff to make them much more of a tool to flush enemies out of cover. - Motherlode should either be a circle of flame or, slowly creeps towards the centre making the fire ring gradually smaller. -Alternatively make it an expanding ring from the center. -Can run at full speed with grenades out like holstered weapons. -Obvious one is less damage against Grenades -Makes Frags sticky nades??? Okay that one is very insane.

[@AleUkko]

One buff could be that he dosnt take damage from his own abilities and the ultimate has X in the midle so could actualy hit someone with it

[@angusmullen2479]

Fuse Changes: Fuse should be able to use cluster grenades while firing your gun or another grenade. He should also be able to toggle the passive on or off so you can sky nade if you want to.

[@brandonmarshall2398]

I would like to see fuse’s ultimate buffed or maybe make it a target ring over just a circle from ⭕️ to 🎯

[@jessiewescott3140]

The buff I think he really needs is the ability to arch the motherload to be able to fire indoors without landing right on your head OR if they dont want to touch the alt a smaller but equally useful tweak to his passive to make his grenades, arcstar, and thermite prove a 10% increase to radius but not the damage just to make stacking a shit ton a actual tactic instead of lacking on heals and ammo because of stacking with a small bag or ammo eating guns those would be the 2 best bets for a fair buff for him without a complete rework to how his abilities work.... hes kinda just backward to have on a team since because of those reasons like indoors he can easily kill himself on accident way to often so his ultimate can easily end up going unused a majority of a game... atleast gibby and bang can be used to keep someone in a building or force them to push away from the barrage but his is way to easy to avoid when it hit only him..... even trying to shoot out a window can easily backfire

yeah make the super a tad more useful at least indoors and yeah zip line use of the flame cannon would make him an pathfinder have some interesting combos, airstrikes launchable off them but not me old mate fuse's ring. Still nothing like making that much noise on fuse you cant hear the people sneak up any more. or at least be able to stick 2 grenades in that big shiny golden arm for quicker fire rate rather then the animation playing again for the 2nd nade even if have to only be the same type nade.
