  • Increased vertical recoil from 40.65deg/s to 50.93deg/s (+25%).

  • Decreased near-medium damage range from 35.6m to 27.9m (-21%).

The recoil pattern of the Striker 9 has been significantly adjusted, resulting in increased control while firing.

» Light Machine Guns «

• TAQ Evolvere
  • Increased movement speed from 4.4m/s to 5.1m/s (+16%).
  • Decreased rate of fire from 706rpm to 500rpm (-29%).
  • Increased maximum damage from 34 to 40 (+18%).
  • Increased maximum damage range from 35.6m to 40.6m (+14%).
  • Increased medium damage range from 40.6m to 53.3m (+31%).
  • Increased head damage multiplier from 1.2x to 1.4 (+17%).
  • Increased neck, upper-torso, upper-arm, and lower-arm damage multipliers from 1x to 1.2x (+20%).
  • Increased target flinch from 0.5n to 0.8n (+60%).
  • 556 Belts (Magazines)
    • Increased movement speed benefit by 16%.
    • Added 40% hipfire spread reduction benefit.
    • Increased aim down sight time benefit by 15%.
    • Increased aim down sight movement speed benefit by 17%.
    • Added rate of fire benefit at 857rpm.
    • Decreased maximum damage from 34 to 30 (-12%).
    • Decreased medium damage from 30 to 24 (-20%).
    • Increased head, neck, and upper-torso damage multipliers from from 1.1x to 1.2x (+9%).

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.

  • Increased near-medium damage from 23 to 24 (+4%).
  • Increased medium damage from 18 to 20 (+11%).
  • Increased minimum damage from 15 to 18 (+20%).

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