Aiming feels extremely sloppy

[Ani]

Whether it be from the hip or precise aiming, the gun goes everywhere except where I aim it. It's making it really hard to enjoy the game since it's being nearly impossible for me to gt past the frostgorge without dying endlessly on every boss. Does anyone have any tips on how to reduce weapon sway mixed with extreme recoil?

Shorten your bursts.

Try out different guns? No lame smartass remark, I mean it.

Some guns are really wonky with their stability (this is intentional), so try to get those weapons that have a high stability. Since the stability stat is hidden, maybe try the wiki or something, or just play the game and try to find out yourself.

But I can assure you there are guns that have good stability and as a result have a lot less sway.

This, too.

Edit: Also Relics and Badass Ranks (for Accuracy and Recoil) plus Dahl made weapons usually are stable and accurate, also the automatic burst fire while zooming is pretty good, but that's just my opinion.

I hate Hyperion guns, but those have that "reverse stability" thing where it gets more stable and accurate the longer you hold the trigger.

Edited some more because I am frickin' confused this morning and put in stupid mistakes, sorry about that.

Different guns have different amounts of recoil. Some are wild.. some legendaries are even wilder btw... but most are pretty stable in bursts.

I've been sticking to 3 round burst Assault Rifles, shotguns, pistols, and sniper rifles. Anything is else is beyond my ability.

Anyway, thanks for replying guys! I appreciate the help.

Just in case you overlooked what I said:

It's not really the type of gun, it's more the manufacturer (mostly).

Hyperion made guns (regardless of Pistol, or Sniper Rifle, or whatever) feel godawful on first sight, but they are the most accurate/stable guns in the game, you can pretty much just hold the trigger down and after a few shots (depending on the gun), it is spot-on until the magazine is dry.

Dahl-made guns have very decent stability and accuracy (those 3-shot-while-zoom-guns you said you use already), and those come in other types, too (like SMGs and Sniper Rifles).

Srry if I misinterpreted your reply, just making sure you got the point, because it makes getting the hang of this game much easier.
Cheers and have fun!

Hyperion has pretty good SMGs. Spray them at an enemy, then use the increasing accuracy to zone in on weakspots.

I like the aiming system. If you want to say ♥♥♥♥ you to that system and play by missing absolutely everything while being totally successful in killing everything there's always Gaige.
