History of Handling

Handling is a weapon stat that governs how quickly you interact with a weapon rather than how accurate it is.

Components

• Ready: draw speed when switching to the weapon.
• Away: speed of putting away the previous weapon.
• ADS speed: frames needed to fully aim down sights.
• Mobility: time to ready the weapon after jumping, sprinting, sliding and similar actions.

Raising Handling

Handling masterworks, barrels and stocks such as Short-Action Stock and Fluted Barrel, Dexterity armor mods, and perks such as Snapshot Sights and Threat Detector all raise it. The Arrowhead Brake barrel adds +10. High Ground Gaming likewise stresses that handling is about speed (swapping, stowing, aiming), not accuracy. See also Range and Stability.
