been learning about what weapon perks are good but how do you know if the barrel or mag is also worth keeping?

Depends

For LFRs and snipers specifically you want to make sure your ammo regen perk procs as many times as possible while not going overkill

#

For example:

#

Cataclysmic has a base magazine size of 5 shots. On it, you want to run fourth times the charm.

#

If you bump up your mag size to 6 with enhanced battery, you get 2 FTTC procs instead of just one, doubling the ammo regen you get

so its a matter of speed vs mag size depending on the perks connected to it?

Yeah

#

alr, and as for barrels?

#

For most primaries I try to minimize recoil unless I’m using it for PvP in which case I try to max out range

long creek
#

yeah ive heard range is a necessity

#

Only for pvp

#

For pve it doesn’t matter much except on I guess pulses/auto rifles, but those already suck

makes sense

#

i presume you wanna try to balance the stat increases or sumthin? cause i see something like smallbore or arrowhead get used often

#

you just need to try the gun and see how it feels to you

Depends on the weapon, but usually I go for arrowhead brake for recoil and something with range/reload/stability on the second column

#

I usually have a look at light.gg to check if my weapon reaches 0 recoil
