Does Counterbalance do anything? [video] (Destiny)
Great video that breaks down the way the recoil direction stat actually works in D2, and how a counterbalance mod will interact with your gun’s recoil pattern:
Personal opinion here, but holy crap does stuff like this seem utterly unnecessary to me. Super frustrating to have such an unintuitive and hidden system that has such a heavy influence on how our weapons perform. Also, I’d love to know why anyone at Bungie is so married to RNG mechanics when it comes to aiming and firing weapons. The more time I spend playing this game, especially the crucible, the more I feel like I’m fighting against the weapons themselves, rather than the enemy players. It’s quite telling that the mark of a great gun in D2 is the moment when you pull the trigger and the bullet(s) actually go where you had aimed your reticule, and your weapon remains reasonably lined up for another shot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
