Grants linearly scaling benefits as the Magazine drops from 50% capacity to empty: • 10 to 20 Range • 30? to 50? Handling • 10-20% decreased Handling Animation Duration • 5?% to 10?% decreased Accuracy Cone Size Special weapons only receive 50% of the benefits. Stats are rounded up.

Triple Tap

Scoring 3 Precision Hits within 2 seconds of each refills 1 Ammo into the Magazine from thin air. Cannot load the Magazine beyond its base capacity. Precision Hit counter persists through stow.
