How accuracy actually works.

It would seem these guys are just like the Steam forum guys. They're nuts, but helpful.

super serial math going on there.

All I need to know is, them more accuracy a gun has, the better it is.

if a gun has 95% accuracy normaly, and you get 2 versions of it, one with 100% accuracy bonus, and one with 40% accuracy bonus.
the one with 100% accuracy would get, (95-100/2.0)+100 = 97.5% accuracy
the one with 40% accuracy would get, (95-100/1.4)+100= 96.4% accuracy
"another one but with 80% would get, (95-100/1.8)+100= 97.2% accuracy

This seems like it works. Oh great math gods of TTP help us.

You guys realize that the mods in the box below guns manifest in the gun's stats right?

what about the bonuses from your proficiency with the gun and upgrades in the tree? Those do not auto-apply.

also,

((A-100)/B)+100=Y

Accuracy really doesn't count for jack shit in Borderlands, the AI has a faster reaction time than your bullets, so as soon as you pull the trigger they have moved and your thought to be headshot looks like it just flew through his head.

I am not kidding, I tested this, they react as soon as you pull the trigger, moving their head instantly meaning you bullet just flies on by.

Accuracy is the size of your crosshair and how the bullets spread.

No, they don't. I get more headshots than actual bodyshots in that game. I love being at range and getting headshots too.
