Make Fuse's Knucker Cluster stick tightly to the target and slow them down

I feel like when Fuse fires his cluster and hits someone, the damage done from it is extremely inconsistent even when it hit on big hitbox target like Caustic. Most of the time it will only deal the initial impact damage and then 1 or 2 tick of damage and that's it, barely scratch 1 brick of armor from them, meanwhile this thing exploded like an anti-aircraft flak cannon about to crack down a spaceship, what is wrong with this crappy immersion?

When it sticks on high mobility legends like Octane or PF, they can just stim/grapple away and suddenly my cluster stops doing any damage to them or deals so little that I should have just straight up shoot them with my gun anyway. In some case when fighting in close quarters, I even feel like I'm being punished for using his tactical because some insanely high IQ player or complete idiot W key warrior will just straight up ignore it and rush toward you to share the damage and caught you off-guard before you could pull your gun out. 

I would suggest a good buff for his tactical is to slow down sticked target - not allowing them to sprint at least, similar to being caught inside Caustic's gas and maybe, JUST maybe, increase the damage of the second knucker cluster when it hit the same target, quit the philosophy of "not letting Legend kill others by spamming ability", let it an exception for Fuse only. If you got hit with a live grenade and worse, he hit you TWICE in a row, you should DEFINITELY be worried about it

"But the counterplay" you may ask, well, its pathetic damage IS the balancing factor, barely worth 2 shots of P250 and he got a quite expensive frame time to pull out his gun. The only time you should be afraid of his knucker cluster is either when he is trying to thirst a downed player or when you and your squad are pinned down in a tiny corner with the ring on your back and enemy squad are all surrounding you, THAT is when Fuse's tactical is at its strongest point. It cost only 1 shield cell to heal from his cluster while he needs a 20-second cooldown to recharge anyway - unless you got hit twice so it cost 2 cells, yay.

    I have a better idea:
    When u hold the R pad the Gernades shows up. Press The tactical button on it and you get a KCnade. They wan Fuse fireworks right? That's how its done. Maybe the Knuckle Cluster can have a little blur effect.


    Blue: KC ArcStar
    Orange: KC thermite
    Brown: KC Frag
    Clear: KC

    Then u can have an option to attach his grenade Barrel to his gun.

  • It...would really require a lot of work to implement. Are you suggesting a complete rework on grenade for him and him alone? I don't think Respawn will have the gut to do so, given the fact he isn't a female character nor has anything flashy in his playstyle so his popular and money-making potential is very low.

    @KissYourHomieUwU
    Money Making: they have so many people who spent over a hundred on Apex. Their loaded with money.

    It's not a complete Rework: Its a feature to add, because people says his passive and his tactical still sucks. (He can merge his KC and Grenade together, was u not reading?)

    Respawn: Are a offspring of Crystal Dynamics, who can still change thier ways

    What's your point?

  • Am I seeing your suggestion is to make his grenade when being throw away act similar with how KC work? If that is true, I think buffing him this far would make him super ultra broken and way to overpowered. Respawn already acknowledged how difficult it is to stuck people with the arc star. To the average Joe like me, it would only happen once a hundred games so they made Fuse's KC super magnet to hitbox so people can stick it more often and easier. If Fuse can just fire Arc star with magnet like KC, can stick a whole frag grenade into someone's face and thermite their entire body like a true war criminal, he would become the most toxic playable character ever to be happen in videogame with multiplayer.

    @KissYourHomieUwU Well reduce the effect and increase the range.
    KC frag is a KC with some more damage
    KC ArcStar is a KC with some static
    KC thermite is a KC with burning damage

    Not, OP and just right.
    And the Gernade barrel, he needs that too
