Don't like always using the Fortis Shift or RK-2? This makes all foregrips have a place in the meta, while not significantly buffing anything already bis. Mix and match parts to your hearts content, and make cool guns with parts that fit any mission!

Tarkov's balance is built on the idea of "the rich get richer, the poor get shot."

This works for multiplayer, but for a single player game freedom of choice is important.

In vanilla there is no good choice for a grip except the Fortis Shift (-2/9) and the RK-2(-4/-1).

With this mod, parts are rebalanced and put into 4 categories that fit a specific mission, while all being equally viable:


High Ergo: -1% Recoil, + 14 ergo. Better ergo than anything in the base game, but mediocre recoil reduction.

Balanced Ergo: -2% Recoil, +10 ergo. a Fortis Shift clone.

Balanced Recoil: -3% Recoil, +6 ergo. a slightly buffed Hera CQR.

High Recoil: -4% Recoil, +2 ergo. a slightly more ergonomic RK-2.


Before I created this mod, I literally only used those two grips, on literally all of my guns. And, just, bleh, so boring. Now I mix and match grips on aesthetics and mission requirements, and instead of using just a pair of grips, I think in my armory I have about 12 different grips across my many guns! The testers have also reported that their variety changed too, and they feel less hemmed into boring carbon copy meta builds.
