Weapon attachments affect dispersion even if they shouldn't.
Optics decrease dispersion without having anything to do with the actual firing.
Most buttstocks and handguards decrease dispersion instead of having impact on things they should like sway, recoil and dexterity (some do affect dexterity).
Bipods have no effect on sway or recoil - but also reduce dispersion instead.
(1) Get a weapon with attachment options
(2) Get different attachments
(3) Test attachment effects on shooting and compare to the expected effects
There are numerous implications on gameplay most noticable weapons with attachment options being more accurate than those without, weapons not behaving as expected and attachments being simple upgrades rather then providing pros/cons.
Hi,
the mechanic of attachments affecting weapon behavior is currently work-in-progress and a subject to rebalancing - rest assured we will be looking into it eventually though.
Thank you for your feedback, it has been noted.
Regards,
Andy
