What is the compensator and muzzle brake

[WabbaCat]

sorry, I know it gives a description but I dont understand it as written. Improved per shot recoil? how is this different than regular recoil? Improved recoil 'control'?
what?

They are barrel end attachments like bayonets are. Muzzle mods are the one kind of mod you can remove without needing a replacement part to put back on.

The downside that is also listed on compensators and muzzle brakes text, is that they reduce your weapon range.

As for the wording? It seems to be wording being crazy as far as I can tell. If there is a specific difference between compensator type recoil buffs and normal recoil buffs beyond degree, I'd need someone else to point it out for me.

yea... i knew everything you said already... its that last bit about recoil and its wording that im stumped on. Since you dont know either, its not much help. Thanks tho.

recoil stops the weapon from moving

did you read or are you just making obvious statements? The question was "how is this different than regular recoil"...
if you read the descriptions on those mods, it is worded MUCH differently than any other mod or reference to recoil and makes it sound different.

The question is whats the difference,
NOT what is recoil.

They are LESS recoil than not having any mods at all.

Make the field test, don't just believe in what Bethesda said.
As far as i have tested myself, these 2 mods both reduce a gun's recoil, but in a slightly different way.

About the quantity, the Muzzle Brake reduce recoil much more than the Compensator. But there is something else that separates these two : The bullet line.

The Muzzle Brake makes the bullet lines become slanting. I find it often slant to the up-right. While the Compensator makes the bullet lines almost always straight up vertical.

By this point i myself prefer the Compensator because of the vertical bullet lines, they are much easier to control, especially when shooting at moving targets. That's my choice.

The OP asked, what is the difference between the two different recoils the game lists: "Per shot recoil" and "Recoil".

As i said : "Make the field test, don't just believe in what Bethesda said"

[WabbaCat]

old question,.. but I AM glad you responded sentineL.... thats about the closest anyone has come to answering my question. The others didnt even seem to understand.
Thanks for the field testing also. Really appreciate it!

You're welcome

Compensators and muzzle brakes reduce recoil *more* for *single shots* and have reduced/no effect for auto-fire.

[ΜΣ†ΛĿ]

one reduces side to side recoil and the other reduces vertical recoil

[WabbaCat]

Thank you guys, I think I got the full picture now. Between SentineL, Incunabulum and Metal- you all seem to get what my confusion was and cleared it up.

So which one is better for automatic weapons?

Don't necro old posts man.

IRL - compensators as they control the upward climb of the muzzle while muzzle breaks simply reduce the straight pushback. IRL you can use both together.

Here, who the hell knows - this is a game with guns in held in the right hand that have the bolts on the left side and eject to the left.
