Notes

• This mod can also be stacked with  Strafing Slide, which will provide a combined recoil reduction of -80%.
• This mod reduces the distance the aiming reticle is shaken when fired, however, it doesn't help increase gun base accuracy.
• Affects vertical, horizontal, and other recoil patterns.

  

  Example with a Rakta Ballistica

Tips

• In rough order, the  Akjagara,  Aklex,  Akvasto,  Lex,  Magnus,  Seer,  Vasto and  Zakti benefit effectively from this mod, especially when increasing their fire rate with mods.
• Has no effect on the  Spectra,  Embolist, or other beam-type weapons, as they have no recoil.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 16.7 (2015-06-04), this mod was usable in PvP games until it was replaced by its own specific PvP mods along with a number of other mods:  Quickdraw,  Fast Hands,  Slip Magazine,  Tactical Pump,  Stabilizer,  Burdened Magazine,  Magazine Warp and  Terminal Velocity.
