SMGs and pistols get substantial recoil and handling improvements—the Carbon 57, Razor 9mm, Coda 9, and Velox 5.7 all see vertical recoil cut by 15 points, while the MPC-25 gains effective range. Snipers take a hit to flinch resistance, with the VS Recon dropping from 45% to 20% on one modifier and the XR-3 Ion seeing slower ADS times to compensate. ARs benefit from selective recoil buffs, particularly the Peacekeeper MK1 which gets tighter recoil and a 5% fire rate bump.
