Pretty much what the title says. The Accuracy stat for weapons, I'd like a definitive answer on what it means. My understanding is that it refers to how much dispersion the gun will have. But as the game doesn't actually tell me, I'd really like to know for sure. Anyone with links or even (fates be willing) a blue tag would be great here. Please, don't bother with "I think it's this" or "It's this cause I heard that once". I'm just looking for hard facts.

A serious problem indeed.

Also a definite must. I'm actually really surprised the ranges haven't been there since day one; it just seems so basic.

I believe that if a weapon had 100 accuracy, it would be perfectly accurate.
I don't remember how I got to this conclusion but it seemed to fit perfectly well when I figured it out.
So it's probably a %. This was my understanding as well considering the number never tops over 100
I was thinking the same thing. But again, I'm looking for concrete answers. If you do recall how you got to that conclusion, please let me know.

Tbh, I'm surprised at how many people answered this thread and didn't know this?
And you got your info from...?
Sete Clifton wrote:It's been a while, but when they lowered the TAR hipfire accuracy, the accuracy number in the stats for it also dropped. But it was still very accurate with ADS (way better than the number listed). That's what always made me believe it was the hipfire number that was listed.
This is so far the most fact-based answer I've gotten, so thanks. However, I'd still like to hear something a little bit more solid.

If this were indeed the case, I would take it more to mean the percentage of bullets that go straight down your reticle. Which definitely makes sense, I'm just looking for a definitive answer.

...how exactly do you field test what a number represents? Especially when it could be representing a combination of stats, such as kick and dispersion.

Tbh, I'm surprised at how many people answered this thread and didn't know this? ADS also has dispersion, does it not? How that I have been able to tell? From testing. The ads fires where ever the sight is pointed. This factor would be accounted for under "kick" where as hip fire under "dispersion". As to kick and dispersion... I have now edited the above post, so maybe it'll make more sence to you now.
So you're saying to test this, you shoot at a wall and try to "eyeball" how severe the spread is?

Be nice to see everything a suit/skill can mod displayed on your fitting screen really, like reload times, shield delay, depleted delay, weapon damage mod %, armor resist, scan precision, range, profile, etc. There is a shadowy secretive Illuminati-esque Dust Skype group I want to add you in. Mail me your Skype so I can add you.
Sad panda feels left out. :'(
But also, definite yes to adding more fitting stats in-game.

It isn't a percentage.
Lower number = more accurate.
It isn't based on degrees. The Laser Rifle has a 0-¦ Hipfire and ADS accuracy.
What does this number mean CCP?
The Shotgun has a rating of 34. These numbers don't seem to make any sense...
Yea, and the HMG'S Accuracy Rating is 38.99. It is rather confusing.
I appreciate everyone's hypotheses though. Of course, I'd still really like a definite answer. [hint hint blue taggers]

Last time I checked, burst HMGs were the most accurate; as they could achieve laser-like accuracy if you crouch and continuously fire.
Apparently you missed the hotfix giving HMGs actual conical dispersion...
