Summ Dude wrote: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.
Sometimes the gun lies to you and the bullets don't go where your pointing them at. The accuracy tells you how often the gun lies to you.

It's the size of your target reticule when hip firing, for the purposes of showing how your fire will disperse; at a value of 100 the reticule is a pin-point dot, similar to ADS in effect. The lower the number, the wider the reticule, and thus the higher the dispersion. This base amount is then modified by a negative amount when you're moving, but the values of this modifier are different for each weapon type.
I don't have concrete evidence, but that stat caused me to think about how it works and what it represents, and this my best educated guess.
Ina related note, we really need the ability to select a stat on the weapon preview screen and expand it to allow a clear and concise explanation of what that number equates to in the game.

All of your ideas get thrown out the window once you realize the Laser Rifle has an accuracy rating of 53.3
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]

It's dispersion, at the very best a gun can have. The higher the number, the better.
Last time I checked, burst HMGs were the most accurate; as they could achieve laser-like accuracy if you crouch and continuously fire.
I am your scan error.

Tbh, I'm surprised at how many people answered this thread and didn't know this?
Doesn't explain the Laser Rifle which has a ~50 something accuracy rating last I checked but is still pin-point accurate with hip fire.

Apparently you missed the hotfix giving HMGs actual conical dispersion...

Well I too would like an official answer on this matter. However I have always thought that the Krin's AR felt very accurate and also stays very accurate over time, it has quite a high accuracy number. The TAC AR has a much lower number now and in hipfire its all over the place and tbh it feels to me like it has more kick while ADS than before.

Maybe CCP should just remove this stat and replace it with range, which is something that's actually useful to know. |

Yep definitely not dispersion.
Perhaps it's some kind of multiplier for strength of the AA system?
Also, CCP. WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU GUYS ADDED A PROPER RANGE STAT YET? It really shouldn't take much more than a couple of man hours. |

It represents how likely CCP will nerf the gun.
