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.

I wish they would provide actual weapon ranges in the description sections also. Would be far more helpful, but most of the time, CCP is anything but for those scenarios lol.

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

Yes, it is hip fire dispersion.
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

It is the hip fire accuracy. The higher the number the more acurate the hip fire.

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. |

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.

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.

Not 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".

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.

It's quite easy really you take a very low dispersion like weapon, like the burst scrambler pistol and a really high one, like the Balac's AR, stand about ten to fifteen meter away from a wall and fire at the wall. The rest is pattern recognition and understanding mathematics/physics and what could possibly be involved in the composition of such a stat.
The other: "ads", is a lot more simple. It only requires good pattern observation. It is quite easy to see the bullets land where ever the sight is pointed.
It's really not as difficult as you are making it out to be. Take it or leave it. Really doesn't matter to me. *shrugs*

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?

Which variant of spread does it use?
If I had a gun with 100 bullets that would theoretically represent the entirety of the accuracy quota would it with 55 accuracy:
1: Land 55 bullets on the center of the reticule or close to it, while the 45 other bullets get randomly distributed through radial distribution?
2:Set two target zones within which the bullets land at random and 55 will land inside of the smaller of the two zones, while the 45 land in the outer zone (think an archery target, but the bullets would be exclusive to their separate rings)
In the first spread, the random bullets have a chance of hitting on target, in the second one the random bullets will never strike center, because the impact regions do not intersect.
If you can read this, it means you are reading.
Unless you are skimming

I'm petty sure that it doesn't work anything like what you are thinking. Pretty sure that it woks a a percentage. With 100% being a strait line and 0% being some arbitrary angle chosen by CCP.
"1: Land 55 bullets on the center of the reticule or close to it, while the 45 other bullets get randomly distributed through radial distribution?"
I'm not understanding your question.
"2:Set two target zones within which the bullets land at random and 55 will land inside of the smaller of the two zones, while the 45 land in the outer zone (think an archery target, but the bullets would be exclusive to their separate rings)"
It's a flight path trajectory. I'm not understanding what your trying to get at here.
In the first spread, the random bullets have a chance of hitting on target, in the second one the random bullets will never strike center, because the impact regions do not intersect.

its hipfire accuracy while crouched. ADS is 100% on all weapons besides shotguns,hmg (they really don't have a ADS according to CCP) and any other weird pattern weapons like lasers. and that's to the center point of the weapon. i LOL at the laser since its target reticule is basic the size of the laser so its basically 100% accurate in hipfire, but its a long range weapon???? kindof backwards there CCP. better hipfire for closer range. better ADS for longer range weapons but in dust its 100% so there isn't that. its all about TTK numbers then. so accuracy rating is well next to pointless. add super low recoil to full auto weapons and you see the ARs are king. TTK.

It's an aggregate score of the percentage of rounds that fall within a certain radius (unkown) at a certain distance (unkown) in all possible firing conditions of a weapon. The percentages of rounds that satisfy those unknown conditions from both ADS and hipfire while crouching, standing still and moving are all combined to generate the accuracy stat.
Because the change in dispersion while in each firing condition vary for each weapon type the accuracy stat is not a valid point of comparison between different weapons types. However with weapons of the same type it gives a general idea of the improvement in accuracy when moving up to the next tier compared to the previous one. However exactly which firing condition is actually improving can not be determined by any means I'm aware of.
Anyway that's what I've been able to piece together. This is most certainly one of those things that CCP will never confirm any theory or disclose the actual formula. So I'm just guessing but that's what I think anyway.
