Does the Spectra have recoil?

[Titan]

As said in the title. I got a near-perfect 4 stat riven for it that massively ups the recoil, but I didn't think beam weapons had recoil to affect. it's like a +150% or something increase in recoil at max rank.

You'll see your weapon beam starting much, much higher than usual for a split sec', but besides looking wierd, the end of the beam will be exactly where it should be. I got a similar on my Synapse, and it and the Spectra have exactly the same recoil.

I remember my quanta used to have shaky beams, but the recoil loss wasn’t noticeable on them. It did however, cause multishot alt fire on it to spread wider helping slightly to spread the AoE out more. For something like the spectra I wouldn’t expect much difference.

Try Kulstar :D

beam weapons are not known for their recoil

Dual Cestra - with increased fire rate. Go on, show us you are better than Shroud, spray Dual Cestra and hit headshots on anything over 30m.
It is not reliable at 10m but you can do it. (not secura version)

Twin Grakatas have very low vertical recoil, but kick to sides cannot be managed on medium distance.
Grakata has that one kick up after few shots and after that it is fairly smooth, actually a manageable recoil in warframe. Not consistent tho sometimes it just rejects to hit anything

Not if you have doubled firerate and a 170% more recoil and firerate Riven on Supra.

@Titan, there's a set of items such as beam weapons that technically have pinpoint accuracy and no recoil other than on the initial trigger pull. There's generally a whole subsection of possible Riven stats that don't actually have any effects on a weapon - say, you can have added zoom on a Sentinel weapon, or (at least, could have a while ago) increased/decreased projectile flight speed on a hitscan weapon, so just because some stat does not affect a certain gun doesn't mean you can't have a riven that changes that stat.
