Forward Grip
{{{imagesize}}}
A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%, but increases equip time by 0.15 sec.
Empire: Icon NS

The Forward Grip is a rail attachment.

While attached, a forward grip decreases the horizontal recoil, horizontal tolerance, and recoil angle values of the attached weapon by 25%, overall decreasing the degree to which the weapon kicks in the horizontal when fired. In exchange, the weapon's equip time is increased by 150ms (0.15s).

History[]

March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)

  • Advanced Forward Grips have all been converted to Forward Grips.
  • The equip time penalty for these grips have been standardized to 0.15sec. across all weapons.

Dev Note: Advanced Forward Grips were previously given to weapons who already had top-tier horizontal recoil models, and the benefits of a grip far outweigh the drawbacks.
