In this episode we're covering the Fore Grip.

First seen in COD4, the Grip has returned in every title since, each time with similar benefit.

In Black Ops 2 the attachment has proven controversial for its limited effect - with its recoil-reducing ability scaled back, leading some to question whether the attachment was mere placebo.

In real life, an underbarrel mounted foregrip provides a more ergonomic place to grasp a firearm, with greater control of the muzzle.

This can help in controlling the weapon's recoil, especially during automatic fire - and this effect is mirrored in-game.

The Fore Grip is available for the Assault Rifles, LMGs and SMGs.

It is incompatible with the underslung grenade launcher, due to the mutual occupation under-barrel rail.

The Fore Grip's effects are fairly basic: it will increase your weapon's centerspeed, which governs the rate of recovery from recoil.

In practical terms, this means lower overall recoil, proportional to the centerspeed increase.

For Assault Rifles and LMGs, the effect is strongest: you'll benefit from a 2% increase to centerspeed, for a corresponding decrease to recoil.

SMGs see only a 1.5% improvement, although the centerspeed for such weapons is higher to counteract the faster rates of fire, so the absolute benefit might be similar across the board.

It's worth noting that the recoil-reducing benefit of the ACOG and EOTech sights will stack, for a maximum of 4% recoil reduction - although whether this is worth two of your pick-ten points is debatable.

The Fore Grip is a universally beneficial attachment that confers a slight improvement to your weapon's controllability.

It could very well make the difference in a long-range gunfight, especially in cases when firing full-auto for sustained periods of time.

However, the effects of the grip have been reduced to the point where you'd be hard pushed to notice any significant difference, with the random nature of recoil disguising its explcit effect.

While there are no downsides, the occupancy of an attachment slot and pick-ten point means you might be better off selecting an alternative attachment, with more obvious benefit.

Some might criticise the effects of this attachment for being too suble - but, if you want to spend a pick-ten point on a minor reduction to recoil...

...then get a grip.
