Accuracy explained (It's a mess!) | Warframe

the equations are similar enough to give me a thought. all they need to be the same equation is for the spread bonus of non-shotguns to be 0 and for shotguns to have the subtractive part of the denominator cancel out.

I don't know if I found this video helpful or just a wtf Warframe 😅

The best way I've found to write an accuracy stat is to define two variables, spread angle, and target size. They're pretty basic, but with just those two bits of data you can draw a cone of arbitrary length, that length becoming the accuracy stat. This allows for "bigger number equals better" of orthodox game design, while also making percentage modifiers to accuracy more intuitive, as you can have those modifiers act on the length of the cone directly, forcing the spread angle to decrease as accuracy increases.

all I know about accuracy it could get over 4000% at your mission result stats

so guess u could say that accuracy is warframe isn't always accurate? haha

I have never paid attention to accuracy for the entire time ive played this game. Nothing has ever changed

That's explain why Phantasma beam would swing like a whip.

You should check this out with phantasma. I've found less accuracy is very useful on it

My laetum is basically a 777 amp now with the magnum force and tje damage is insane too lol. Suppose I'll max tje magnum force. I need some aoe to use with phenmor being single target.

I just had a mission where I had 4000% accuracy and really wanted to know why. I was playing vauban with a kuva tonkor.

I 'member the good ol' days where -Accuracy made the Opticor's beam into a cone, meaning with -50% or more it was a screenclearing hitscan weapon. Good times.

So, how does nyx passive work?

Imagine having a super powerful but extremely inaccurate gun. You could clear rooms instantly.

I'm even more confused than I already was. It didn't make sense when I aimed (scoped) at an unalert enemy's ear with a Rubico Prime at about 10 meters away and it completely missed because I had Heavy Caliber on.

What I got from this video: “accuracy is completely different for every weapon good luck” thanks DE very cool

Even stuff like powers have heaps of hidden things they do. Sometimes you'll read on the stats that the power does healing or something despite it saying no where in the description that it heals.
Banshee's Silence is a prime example hidden stuff. It keeps Eximus units from putting their element debuffs on you and keeps acolytes from using powers. Nowhere in the game that I could find does it tell you this. I mean yeah, it's a good thing but... it would be nice to be told in game.
I've been saying for years that DE should just put in links to the wiki to get the real info on stuff. 😛

this would be so easy to fix , make an angular spread system breaking something else in the process of course

This video opens by showing a Tenet Flux Rifle with 200% accuracy. What the hek does that even mean? lol

"...my computer isn't having a aneurysm although I came close to having one researching this..." 😂😂😂😂 simply brilliant!
