I only just realized Sal can beast with Hyperion pistol with big -accuracy Renegade mod

I used to think those mods that were like -20% accuracy were garbage

but waitaminit, that is actually reversed for Hyperion weapons i.e. They will actually become 20% MORE accurate

Holy crap, mind = blown once more

the same must also be said with Maya and Cat mod and Hyperion SMG, wow

Not really the way it works.
Reduced accuracy still means reduced accuracy for Hyperion guns too, it just reverses WHEN you feel the effect.

The reason this still works great is that those COMs like the Renegade and Cat don’t actually reduce accuracy by much and the difference is barely noticeable. Also, Hyperion pistols are so accurate to begin with that a small penalty like that will have no measurable impact in play.

Hmm

Hyperion stuff SUCKS with Steady As She Goes, especially smgs which jump around all over the place, and also causes gun in other arm to lose target

Also same using Hyperion SMG if you maxed out Steady with Axton, it will just jump all over the place, this weapon becomes useless

so yeh not sure if your post is that accurate (no pun) though I suppose recoil reduction (or increase for Hyperion) is different to actual accuracy

I love the Legendary Cat + Bitch combo on Maya. You don’t really feel that accuracy penalty at all and the COM’s damage boost plus the Bitch’s crit boost really make popping sustained critical hits fun. :slight_smile:

Exactly.

The only thing Hyperion guns have reversed is recoil, not accuracy. Steady as she goes doesn’t work well with them because it reduces recoil (which means that instead of staying accurate longer, they stay inacurate longer) and states that it “improves accuracy”… But it actually achieves that by giving you negative recoil impulses, which have the opposite of the desired effect on Hyperion guns.

I suggest you try out the difference in accuracy with these class mods: pick a gun you like and aim at a wall, and look at how wide the reticle is with and without the COM. You’ll be surprised at how little effect it has.

Also, if it affects only max accuracy, Hyperion guns would actually be the ones affected the most by them. (Since most guns only reach max accuracy after sustained fire, while Hyperion guns start at max accuracy)

Nothing beats testing ideas out for yourself in a scientific way. :wink:

The initial sway can be reduced quite a bit with a Hyperion allegiance relic that has the accuracy boost.

Chuck I suppose you’re right yes

I think it should stay :slight_smile:

There might be people having the same train of thought you had that will find this thread and then learn from it
