Does 100 stability make much of a difference?

[uNorthodoX]

I'm wondering if this makes a significant impact in a gun's performance, since 100 accuracy does.

[Sausage]

It matters...two different weapons at 100 stability will have various recoil...

Well your kick is cut in half at 100 stability. So... kinda? It's more noticeable on weapons with high kick values anyway.

I have a feeling the attribute varies from gun to gun, and is not absolute. I noticed a clarion with 100 stab is much more stable than a JP36 with 100 stab, which will be much more jumpy even at max stab.

does it make a significant difference compared to 90ish stability (like 96 or 98)

do you see difference on it on lower numbers? there's your answer.

you cant get 98 stability.
note that all accuracy and stability values are multiples of 4.

the difference between 96 and 100 is very little.

if you have a slower ROF weapon then it will still bounce a bit even if you have 100.
however weapons with high ROFs lie SMGs can be perfectly stable when on high values of stability.


but unless your using something with a zoomed scope then 80 accuracy is perfectly sufficent to hit all but the furthest snipers with the first shot.
stability is probobly simmalar.

if you struggle to get a weapon to 100 stability then its probobly a high damage weapon and will have fairly high bounce anyway.


LMGs, light ARs and light SMGs deffinately benefit the most from high stabilty, though they are also the easiest to get to high values (save for LMGs)

on a multi shot weapon it really matters, on single fire if you do not have 100 stability you will not even notice it.

in short:
when you use a assault rifle, smg, always try to get as close to 100 stability if you can the same counts for accuracy. 100 stability means less recoil so the bullets go in a straighter line (cross, x marks the spot) and by this you waste significantly less ammo and you get way more headshots than without it.

100 compared to what? 100 accuracy doesn't have "significant impact" if you're comparing it with 96. Yes, 100 is pinpoint but 96 is pretty close to that. 100 stability will not remove weapon recoil entirely like accuracy does, but it will reduce it significantly.

So is 96 stability good enough for something like a dmr?

Exactly

More than enough, I have my ak rifle dmr at 92 accuracy and 92 stability. ideal is 96 accuracy and 100 stability.

But 92 accuracy and 96 stability or 88 accuracy and 100 stability do fine too, it takes skills to master it but once you learned it and you get your headshots then nothing in the game will get you down (unless you are out of ammo or you need to reload).

I have my car dmr at 92 accuracy and 96 stability. If you have 92 accuracy and get the +8 accuracy in single fire skill does it add up to 100 accuracy?

yes it gives 100 but never ever use the single fire mod, it downgrades the weapon. when you play press V to toggle between auto-fire mode and single-fire mode. so you do not lose stats or downgrade your weapon.

use skills in the skill trees that add stability and/or accuracy when moving or standing still. so you get the very best out of your loadout.

Not the single fire mod, the marksman skill (forgot the name) gave you +8 accuracy when firing in single fire mode. I would never use the firemode switches unless on an lmg or on akimbos.

When it comes to accuracy, yes. Overkill changed the way accuracy is calculated at some point, so even %accuracy bonus skills are converted into index offsets into the accuracy table. The "accuracy table," incidentally, is just a table with all the values accuracy can take. It takes all the multiples of 4 from 0 to 100.

I don't know if the same is true for stability.
