• Damage

• Accuracy

• Mobility

• Range

• Handling

• Rate of Fire

Some of these I understand on a basic level, but some I am really not sure about. I’m also not sure what the ‘sweet spots’ are for each stat.

I searched around a bit, but couldn’t find any description of mobility and handling.

Thanks in advance.

Mobility is how fast you move with that weapon I believe. Handling deals with recoil. Rate of fire is a pretty huge significance.

I’ve looked over it, it’s a bit complex, but does have a lot more info. Thank you!

My time I’m the is still low, but I played a lot of BF3. The guns all feel much more accurate by comparison. I’ll have to get a feel for the ones I like.
