March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
- Increased Compensator's vertical recoil reduction from 15% to 30%.
- Decreased Compensator's hipfire cone of fire penalty from 20% to 15%.
Dev Note: Compensators tend to be used less as players learn to control vertical recoil. These changes push the attachment closer to relevance for more setups and skill levels.
- Compensator's attachment description has been updated, and properly conveys the increased hipfire penalty.
