Recoil Patterns

These recoil patterns should give you a rough idea of the basic recoil intensity and direction for a given weapon. Weapons that have very wide patterns can kick out far to the left or right. Tighter vertical patterns are generally easier to handle.

Remember that improving Stability or moderating your rate of fire reduces overall recoil. There are a few mods that also have an effect on recoil or accuracy but don’t explicitly modify Stability.
