The recoil pattern of the Striker 9 has been significantly adjusted, resulting in increased control while firing.
Our primary goal for these changes is to better differentiate the two ammunition types of the TAQ Evolvere. 7.62 is a slow, yet accurate, long-range competitor. Conversely, 5.56 favors aggression and is built for run-and-gun playstyles.
7.62 rewards accuracy and sees an increase to target flinch, allowing it to better compete with Sniper Rifles at range.
5.56 sports a significantly faster rate of fire that is both easier to handle and consistent with locational damage multipliers.

With these changes, the WSP Stinger has reduced recoil which is also easier to control, pairing well with its increased damage.
