you have to keep in nind though, the closer you are to a target the bigger its hitbox becomes relatively on your screen. For a lot of weapons you are forced to sacrifice that firearm specialization anyways, in order to keep that so called recoil (actually cone of fire) in check. Lastly latency is likely the most relevant factor for dodging shots at any give distance. For good latency the range doesn't matter too much... but on bad latency dodging shots becomes much harder especially up close because the projectile travel speed is much shorter. I really felt that today against explosive spamming lag lord. Hitting shots on me late, while I was miles away from the explosion.

8:15 "It's like shooting at a ghost from 3 seconds ago." Chrightt, you're a poet.

One addition, and apologies if you mention this later in the video or already did and I missed it: Recoil control directly affects (or at least appears to directly correlate to) cone of fire/dispersion of direct-fire handheld weapons, both for first-shot accuracy and continuous fire, excepting weapons that innately spread out like shotguns or are guided such as missiles. Sorry, putting the Wrecker arms on with your Zimmermans doesn't turn them into rifles, at least not in any testing I've done. It does however mean a weapon like the Scudder or Linear Rifles or Pistols will basically drill the core of a target on every shot. Machine guns, too, but with the exception of doubling up on gattling guns (at least in my observations, further testing required).

@IsraTheBlack

9 ай бұрын

I tested all the handguns and rifles with low and high recoil arms and I noticed that only some weapons get really bad recoil with continuous fire and that you don't really need a lot of recoil control on your arms. The laser pistols for example are very accurate even with very low recoil but the final couple of shots will spread out a lot, getting only a little recoil control to around 130 is more than enough to completely eliminate the recoil. The stunguns have a lot of recoil from the getgo, but even these only need around 130 recoil arms and only the last shot will deviate a little. In most cases getting arms with balanced recoil and firearm specialization is more than enough to manage recoil on weapons that really need it. The nachtreiher arms for example have 160 firearm specialization but atrocious recoil to the point where you just can't use it on rapid fire weapons. The Hal arms are pretty good and balanced, but iirc there was another one with even better balance but less defense.

@LazyMaybe

9 ай бұрын

You don't need Wrecker arms to totally mitigate the recoil from dual Scudders. Any arms with recoil control over 130 will reset the bloom fast enough that it's effectively zero, since your reticule will only be expanded between shots. As a result you can equip arms with MUCH better firearms specialization than wrecker arms while still having effectively 0 recoil. Don't use wrecker arms for setups like dual scudders, it's not good.

@@LazyMaybe Never said it was necessary, you should go back re-read what I was saying. Recoil Control directly correlates to cone of fire on non-rapid fire weapons and will affect the the size of it. Wrecker arms simply represent the highest possible recoil and completely, or as nearly as possible, eliminate that cone of fire.

I did almost the same testing but instead of long range, I tested in close range only. I discovered two very interesting and useful things. 1. FCS affects hard lock way more than in soft lock, it's more likely to miss with hard lock if you use an FCS with a low Stat for the range you're fighting. 2. The tracking of your mech also affects your accuracy when you're dodging aswell, this is huge on single shot weapons because the tracking lowers the delay between a boost dodge and shooting. Most weapons have very slow velocity and getting close is required of you want to hit anything.

I prefer the abbot as well. Because your reticle STARTS closer from the almost triple midrange assist. So unless you are permanently in 130m range (you won't be), the abbot outperforms the ocelus, even on an only-close build.

absolutely unreal degree of thoroughness, and well explained

Huge, fcs are always a bit tricky for me

Thank you so much for the explanation on how this works, FCS is one of the most confusing parts for me and your video made it so clear, i hope you make more videos like this!

Thank you for this! Firearm spec has definitely been one of the most difficult stats for the playerbase to agree on, and despite we having no 100% confirmed way to tell the true hard data of how it affects your accuracy, your video provides ample evidence of a tangible difference between each combination. You've helped me decide to use the Melander C3 arms as someone who runs a mixed build that doesn't like sacrificing durability, when previously I wasn't sure how much I truly valued firearm spec. Cheers!

The legend strikes again! Critical breakdown and translating the data for the rest of us is top notch. Thank you!

Love your indepth videos, cant wait to see your findings on recoil control and how it affects rapid fire or dual-wielding firearms

Holy moly this is an eye opener. Thank you!

The Talbot seems so good. High close and mid range with over 100 missile correction. Poor long range, sure, but there aren't very many pve long range encounters and in pvp if you are playing long range you are probably a missile boat build that tries to fly out of reach and missile correction is a more important stat anyway, in which case you will probably use one of the furlong FCS with high missile correction.

I’m an old school AC fan, but I’m still finding your breakdowns informative. Great work. You earned that like.

I found your channel through your video breaking down generators. Your presentation style has been such a big help while trying to better understand mechanics that are pretty esoteric to a new AC player. Thank you for the work to put this together! :)

I eventually figured out the multi missile lock thing after awhile. Every other AC game I had played before required me to get my reticle over a target for multilock so I was working off of muscle memory lol. Oh yeah, easy way of stating the difference between firearm specialization the target tracking (per distance): Target tracking assist controls how quickly you will gain a lock on a moving target at a steady speed at each distance and Firearm Specialization controls how likely you are to hit that locked on target.

Man not even a minute in and you are already blowing my mind.

Bro im so happy you made this. As you've said i go with "higher is better" thinking without knowing what bigger number means.

I’m glad you asked the recoil question. Cause that does get affected by types of weapons with their rate of fire.

Thank you for making this. You have no idea how much pain I have been in scratching my brain trying to understand this stuff.

Love your videos. Obviously they've helped me improve my builds a ton, but more importantly they've made the building process so much more fun to engage with. When you know what the different stats do you can meaningful decisions about what's important to your build and what feels right to you, rather than just guessing based on what has the biggest number. Like, I've made a fair few builds using the Nachtrieher arms, simply because they had the highest firearm specialization and I didn't want to worry about it. Now that I know how tracking works, I'm realizing that it isn't as important as I thought for some weapons, and I'm excited that I now get to upgrade those builds' arms to better fit what they actually need.

And to add to that, as a missile focused player, I hope we see either some guidance enhancement but lock on penalty or vice versa. Right now almost all my missile builds use the lock on correction. I find the multi lock correction only really usable in PVE or in niche team play scenarios to spread damage.

qwik 'n dirty (if I'm understanding it correctly) missile correction = lock time adjustment range = reticle stickiness tracking = how fast the reticle recovers firearm spec = how fast the arms can adjust trajectory, affected by weapon weight

I love when people talk about that RAD set of weapons and core parts. Soup, Main Dish, Aperitif, it's all pretty comical to me. I knew I was going to have a good time when people started making content about those parts when I first saw them lol

Incredible 😮

im currently using dual sweet sixteens, and since i need to be up close anyway, i opted to take a hit on FCS tracking in exchange for better missile lock speed (both my back weapons are double active homing missiles). that said, though, i did specifically choose arms that have higher firearm spec to try to make up for it. i think i made the right choice

regarding missile tracking, it's funny that the fat missile has very low tracking capability, but due to its slow propulsion, it seems to perform better on some missiles that has higher tracking stas

so i HAVE been running the right fcs for my double minigun, double soup build, cool

Thanks man

I really like your videos. I think it's really important to point out that the game only tracks flat velocity when doing gun tracking. you'll notice this most when a properly tracked target jumps, the actual bullet will be aimed far above the height of the jump purely because of the high upward velocity at the start of the jump. This is where you see bullets go stray, the guns are tracking correctly, but they have a travel time and only track velocity not a simulated trajectory of the target. Thus, anything that (de)accelerates often or constantly will be able to dodge bullets at ranges determined by bullet travel time, even with mathematically perfect tracking. QB can be used when the target needs to dodge homing projectiles or aoe weapons. These reasons are why I like the reverse joint legs most of all.

Basically choosing what FCS you'd need would come down to the effective range stat of your weapon choices and the range assist of the FCS (if not using missiles), if using missiles you just opt for the fastest lock correction, if using a mix of weapon choices just balance them out.

P05 and Talbot are my go to FCS.

my best guess as to what firearm specialization is, is that it determines your bullet spread (the RNG circle that determines where your bullets fire toward)
