What these Long Arm perks do
Rapid Hit
"Buffed Hits" grant 1 Stack of Rapid Hit for 2 seconds. Maximum of 5 Stacks.
"Buffed Hits" refer to any "Yellow Number" Hits such as Precision Hits or Hits against debuffed targets.
Benefits at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks:
• 2|12|14|18|25 Stability
• 5|30|35|42|60 Reload Speed
• 0.99x|0.96x|0.95x|0.945x|0.92x Reload Duration Multiplier
Explosive Payload
Splits off 50% of the weapon's bodyshot damage into an Explosive Payload that detonates on impact.
The Payload deals 30% increased damage in PvE and staggers PvE Combatants more. On Hand Cannons, the Payload deals 7% decreased damage in PvP.
The remaining Impact damage portion receives an increased Crit Multiplier to compensate for the Payload not benefitting from crits.
[PvE] Total damage is increased by 15% of the weapon's bodyshot damage. For crits, the overall increase is roughly equal to 15% divided by the Crit Multiplier.
[PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.
Subsistence
Weapon Kills refill 10% of the magazine (rounded up) from reserves.
Submachine Gun and Auto Rifle Kills refill 17% of the magazine.
Dragonfly
Precision Kills cause targets to explode, dealing up to 123.89 [95.3] weapon-matching elemental damage in a 4.5-meter radius.
Adrenaline Junkie
Weapon Kills grant 1 Stack of Adrenaline Junkie for 4.5 seconds. Grenade Kills grant all 5 Stacks instantly even if the weapon is stowed.
Adrenaline Junkie benefits:
• 20 Handling
• 6.7%|13.3%|20%|26.6%|33.3% increased damage at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks
Opening Shot
Grants the following benefits for your first shot (of the burst):
• 20 Aim Assist and 25 Range
• 5% decreased Accuracy Cone Size
• 10% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth
Special weapons only receive 50% of the benefits. Stats are rounded up.
Firing the weapon prevents the perk from activating for 3 seconds.
Hip-Fire Grip
Grants the following benefits while hipfiring:
• 25 Stability and 15 Aim Assist
• 2.7° larger Precision Aim Cone Angle
• 30% decreased Accuracy Cone Size
• 20% increased Aim Assist Falloff Distance
• 20% increased Damage Falloff Distance
The Damage Falloff increase does not apply to The Last Word, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Fusion Rifles.
PvP-specific note: the Precision Aim Cone Angle increase essentially just allows you to hit Crits while aimed above or slightly to the side of the head. (This is already the default behavior of Submachine Guns, Sidearms, Bows, Machine Guns, and Linear Fusion Rifles so it does not affect them)
