Need help with recoil and accuracy

[Chlarensky]

Whats the difference between these two?
Low recoil means less drag when shooting? or the other way around?

[RubyCante]

recoil move your aim/cursor
accuracy is the bullet spread

[Ronin Gamer]

Recoil is how much the gun kicks up when you fire it. Reducing the recoil means it would stay more still while you fire it.
Accuracy is self explanatory, it's the bullets not spreading out when you fire them. More of a thing in rapid fire weapons since the bullet spray will spread them out a bit.

recoil is the force felt from the shot. it drives your barrel upwards.

accuracy is for grouping. you can see its effect on how tight the crosshair gets.

Low recoil also prevents crosshair "bloom" when firing repeated shots so they are sort of related. One is the starting size of the crosshair while the other is how badly it expands when firing.

So recoil should be in the minus?

[jandraelune]

Accuracy is the shot spread.
Recoil is the muzzle climb when a shot is fired.

Yes
accuracy is how big the reticle (crosshair) starts at
Recoil is how fast and large it expands also drives the muzzle up

when looking at a weapons mods press tab to see relative stats

+accuracy makes it smaller (up to 100) so has less effect on super accurate weapon


-Recoil makes the gun move less while firing and keeps the reticle tighter so has less effect on weapons that don't move much, there is no stat for this in the display so you will have to test it out to see if you actually need it. A good weapon to use -recoil on is the "burning 22" or whatever beam rifle. It moves like crazy without -recoil slotted into he mods
