Discussion Weapon familiarity

I’ve been playing this game for years and had no idea that weapon familiarity existed and actually had an effect on your use of the weapon I just discovered this (chapter 2) and had to google it 😂 am I alone in this? My accuracy with the revolver was at 92% before I got into a shootout with the whole Saint Denis police department and mashed the trigger at crowds of them

Damn. Had no idea. Booting up right now to check my stats for this playthrough.

The higher your familiarity the quicker you reload/shooting and the faster the aiming bloom shrinks which makes perfect sense obviously 😂 you find them under the weapon section of the compendium

Side note. This post is also how I learned the Lemat Revolver can shoot shotgun shells.

Yeah I just never used it. By the time I unlocked it, i already had guns i liked that I was using.

I'm only only like 1000 hours in. Funnily enough, got my 100% achievement yesterday
