OK SO. Weapons in Apex have a recoil pattern, or a sequence of recoil offsets they will go through as the weapon is fired. After the weapon is not fired for a time, the position (or index) in the pattern will decay back down towards the beginning. How quickly it decays back down and how long you have to wait without firing before it decays is different depending on the weapon. With the LSTAR, I wanted to try an idea. The recoil pattern has more horizontal recoil early on in the pattern, then it straightens out at the end. The recoil pattern index decays much slower than other weapons, with the idea being that if you are feathering the trigger while at high heat, you can actually keep the LSTAR in the part of the pattern that has low recoil! This was to encourage sustained shooting with breaks in between to let it cool off slightly without letting it overheat, because that's a fun gameplay thing to do and has some room for mastery. However, because the weapon decays through the pattern so slowly, it can be pretty unpredictable where you'll start in the pattern depending on how long you are waiting between bursts, making it feel like it kicks left sometimes and right sometimes. That's no good! A bit ago I updated the values to decay much faster and hopefully fix this problem, it should come out with the next patch update soon(tm). Sorry for the goof, the idea seemed cool enough it might be worth it, but this experiment was a failure unfortunately!
