Las Fusil primary weapon

The Las Fusil is a formidable primary weapon that can land long-range shots and decimate enemy targets. It can also charge up shots before firing, which makes it even more lethal.

However, it fails to deliver during close-quarter combat scenarios and players would likely be more comfortable switching to their secondary or melee weapon during such situations. The gun comes with some amazing perks that can boost headshot damage and enable the character ability to recharge faster with each kill.
