GamesRadar: Apex Legends Season 6 Patch Notes

I think they just reduced how much the recoil moves from side to side when firing. But I can't say for certain without seeing a before and after video.

It's hard to give numbers on these sorta buffs because the numbers don't really mean anything if you don't understand the systems. It was just a reduction in the multipliers for the vertical and horizontal kick, but not an adjustment to the pattern itself. The horizontal recoil was buffed a little more than the vertical. The high mag size with worse TTK is a combo that is better for non high skill players, and horizontal recoil is the hardest to control, so it made sense to me to improve it on that axis!

When I read it like that, I read "horizontal recoil increased". Does "buffed" means "reduced" here?

Spitfire lover sad noises

Ah yes, sorry. When I say "buffed" I mean "reduced" in this case haha. Sorry for the confusion!

Haha I don't mean to insult! Tbh outside of the top top players, most guns are relatively usable, it just depends on a lot on personal preference.
