Bloom!

I have a couple of weapons that have bloom in the stats of weapon. Can anyone explain to me exactly what bloom is and also what it does?

It's related to how your weapon "scatters" its shot. The lower the number, the better/accurate it is.

Recoil is recoil.
Bloom is the increase of crosshair-size while firing.

Accuracy, recoil, and bloom are all the same regardless of the game, it's just that different games implement these things differently.

Accuracy is the concentration of your crosshairs for your initial shot. Increasing your accuracy, which entails getting a -0.30 accuracy sight mod in most cases, increases the concentration of where your bullets go down range when you fire.

Recoil is the shaking your aiming reticle does when you fire your weapon. For example, when you use a Light Machine Gun, you can noticeably see your aim bouncing around when continuously firing. Recoil can be reduced with certain stock mods, which reduces the amount of bouncing around your aiming reticle does.

Bloom is the reduction in bullet concentration when firing a weapon. You can notice bloom when you continuously fire and see your crosshairs scatter further apart. The further the crosshairs spread, the larger the variation in trajectory for your bullets.

Thank u guys for the help. I appreciate it

Recoil is simply the up and down movement of the gun when firing. The lower the recoil, the less up and down bounce of the gun.

Not true. Some weapons have a recoil pattern that basically just goes up (e.g. shotguns); other weapons (e.g. LMGs) have different recoil which can make the weapon go up, left or right with each shot.

None of which is explained anywhere in game. -.30 accuracy doesn't even make sense, lmao.

Bloom is:
* how much your aim expands while shooting.
* How much your bullets spread.
Lower the bloom better.
