How recoil and attachments seem to really work.

[Ghoest9]

This is just based on wall tests. The extent of my knowledge as to whats really in the game comes from the google doc spread sheet.



It appears thats theres 2 parts to recoil.
Type 1 recoil -a back and forth horizontal bouncing
type 2 recoil -a a directional vector that it hops along at a steady rate.

Recoil 1 is whats reduced by the forward grip. It seems to work pretty much as expected - its of minimal significance up close but at long range its hurts accuracy even if you use bursts.

Recoil 2 is reduced by the compensator. What is not expected from reading the in game descriptions is that directional horizontal recoil is a part of Type 2 recoil.

So if you dont like your gun sliding sideways as you shoot only a compensator will offer any improvement. It will still slide at the same angle with the compensator but it will travel less.
