Haven’t heard about the grip changes. ELI5? ---

Bipods on every gun, underbarrel otherwise ---

Apparently all the grips now give all guns a big bullet deviation penalty. Making some, like Xfactor, just drop grips completely. Maybe it’s placebo, but I feel like I may notice it too. ---

With the updated grip change, I now mainly use stubby. But it could just be a mental thing on my part. Sometimes seeing “no attachment” bothers me. ---

I went the bipod route as well. ---

No grips here. Took me a day or two to realize the stubby grip and flash hider was killing me. Took off the grips and barrel attachment and back to laser beam. Recoil is non existent onbmost guns anyway. ---

Wait, since when? I’ve been working so haven’t played in a month but am I going to lose stats on my angled grips? ---

Iirc all grips reduce the rate at which your aim settles between firing. AFG has a reduced recoil mitigation compared to before patch. Faster firing weapons accuracy takes longer to settle than slower rof weapons. There’s a fairly comprehensive list somewhere on youtube you might want to search for.
