[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Handling/Range] "Gridskipper's a weird one. In the right hands, it can absolutely devastate. Though (on console) I've tried a number of combinations, and no matter what, the gun bounces around like I'm fighting to stay upright during an earthquake. It's specific to Gridskipper too -- no other 540RPM reacts like this. So, if you're comfortable with that aspect of the gun, you've got some fantastic perks to kit it with here."
