[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Charge Time] "Slideshot/Kickstart is a really fun combo that allows you to completely snipe people with High-Impact Fusions. HIFs are in a strange spot since the Fusion Rifle re-work, as they're pretty much outclassed by every other archetype due to how long the charge time is now. Invest in Charge Time > Range > Stability in order of priority. If the Adept version were to return, Adept Charge Time could come in clutch here. For now, treat it as a fairly stationary snipe / Super shut-down option, unless there's a second rework that addresses HIFs."
