A Turian Soldier's Tale: ME, Myself and Recoil...
... or "Why Sometimes giving 110% is bad for the War Effort".

I did stumble across a rather odd "bug" when i played with my Turian Soldier recently. Normaly when you fire an assault rifle the muzzle wanders up as you fire and the Assault Rifle Stability Damper tries to counteract this upward movement.

Lets say your assault rifle shot moves your muzzle moves one "unit" (strength of recoil depends on weapon) upwards for each shot. So without correcting your aim you crosshair travels up 3 "units" after 3 Shots.

Now you add a Assualt Rifle Stability Damper V into the mix, which reduces recoil by 70% and suddenly the diszance your muzzle travels is only 0.3 "units" as 70% of the recoil get absorbed, that means after 3 shots you only travel 0.90 "units" upwards.

The Turian Veteran ability mixes things up... Maxed out it adds a passive 55% Stability to all your shots and combined with the 70% Recoil Reduction from the Mod you end up with 125% Stability/Recoil Reduction.

Normaly i would say that is good but as it turns out its not.

When you shoot your stabilized (70%) weapon as a Turian Veteran (55%) your muzzle suddenly wanders down instead of up.

I -think- the reason for that is a bit of a math/code issue, which does not see 100%  (or more) Stability as the maximum but instead,  just sees it as a counteracting force.

The weapon wants to travel 100% of its recoil upwards with each shot, the Mod + Passive Power say they want to travel 125% down to counteract the recoil, and that results in your weapon traveling down 25%.

So.....could someone teach the Turian Veterans how to not push their weapons down like a crazed Krogan.... and -just- use enough force to keep them level?

Like rewriting the Power to add "up to 55% Stability" allowing Turians to not have the recoil reversed but just negated?

Thank you,

Sincerely The Hierarchy

(Tested it, shooting "from the hip", "with scope" and with and without cover)

Experienced this too today - I think that quite messes up my turians, as their strength should be being able to snipe with a revenant, but this way it just does not work.
Solution until there is a fix for this: Drop the stability dampener or respec for less stability.

If you drop the Damper you have just your 55% from Turian Veteran, if you Spec for less your other weapons will only benefit from the reduced Reduction.

Its a lose-lose situation =(. And the more people comment and confirm on this the more likely it is to get attention and a fix from Bioware.

Aim for the head and let the gun work it's way toward the crotch.

Just tested out the Turian Soldier myself and I must say, I'm sadly disappointed.

I'm using a High Acc Mattock weapon with increased Acc and Damper.
On the human soldier firing off an entire clip will have all the shots landing landing fairly close together. This makes for great headshot sprees and while I know other weapons are better, this was for testing.

On the Turian Soldier firing off an entire clip will leave a staggered line downward instead of a nice cluster of shots being close together.

I've fiddled around with my mods and noticed the issue is gone when I do not have the Damper equiped.
The full might of the Mattock can be used but it feels as if the damper has become useless because of this.

I cannot fathom why this would be intended so I must assume that this is a bug/glitch.

From today's Patch Notes 1.03 (24th May)

--- Fixed weapon recoil that could become reversed with a Turian when stability mod and passive power present.

THANK YOU! =)
