Laser Sight - Black Ops 2 Attachment Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/XboxAhoy Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy In this episode we're covering the Laser Sight. Essentially just a visual representation of Steady Aim, in the original perk form the hipfire-tightening effect was first introduced in COD4. With Black Ops 2, we see the replacement of Steady Aim with the laser sight attachment, so the effect is now limited to weapons with the attachment equipped. It manifests as a red laser emitted from a module attached to your weapon: and while in the first person view the laser extends some distance away from you, your enemies will not receive any meaningful degree of notice while you have the laser equipped. The Laser Sight is available for the SMGs, LMGs, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Assault Rifles and the Pistols - a comprehensive section of the arsenal available. Its effect is relatively straightfoward: the laser sight will improve your hipfire performance with any given weapon - any shots fired while not aiming down your sights will strike within a smaller area than without the attachment. Hipfire falls within a random area of a certain radius - so a smaller cone of fire means more consistent performance from the hip. The magnitude of the laser sight's benefit varies with weapon class: some boast better gains than others. It is the LMGs that see that greatest increase in hipfire accuracy with the laser: a 45% linear reduction in hip spread radius, amounting to a whopping 3.3x improvement in terms of spread area. With their impressive magazines and considerable stance benefits, an LMG with the laser sight can be a formidable close-quarter weapon. Next up, the handguns and shotguns see a 37.5% linear reduction, equating to around a 2.6x performance increase from the hip. Assault rifles see similar benefit, with 35% reduction granting a 2.4x benefit. In a recent patch, some figures were changed - both the Snipers and SMGs receiving less benefit with the laser. Post-
