QuoteDisplay MoreTarkov'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 are two absolutely incredible stocks, and everything else is noticibly worse. The Magpul MOE stock, and the Magpul PRS GEN3 stock.
Well, frick that noise! Let's fix the balance!
I broke stocks up into about 5 or 6 categories and came up with some balance numbers according to existing meta builds, the part's default properties, and a bit of logic.
There are now 5 stocks that are now able to reach "meta recoil" values of 38% recoil reduction (including the SI buffer tube, usually)
There are also 8 stocks that can achieve the Magpul MOE stock's incredible balance of 37% recoil and 12 ergo.
And stocks that don't fit this category are no slouches either! You can run a "meta ergo" build with absolutely awesome ergonomics and good recoil reduction, as well as a more balanced approach. Even the "kinda bad" stocks are significantly better than in the vanilla game.
Also; note to all my FDE Operators - I love you guys, and have made sure that there will always be a tan part in any given best in slot category, so that you can be the tannest of mans. Stay Gold, FDE-Boy.
Notes from the modder: This mod really expands your freedom to make a gun look how you want it, while still rewarding you for making good choices based on the stats of parts. I've found myself running a much more diverse set of parts than I did before I started working on this patch, and jeeze, I'm just glad I don't always gravitate to the MOE stocks anymore!
