History of Under Pressure

Overview

Under Pressure is a weapon trait that improves Stability and accuracy as a weapon's magazine runs low. It triggers when the current magazine falls below 50% of its size, and a short audio cue plays when it activates.

Effect

Shard or Keep gives the bonus as 12.5% to 25% decreased accuracy cone size and 0 to 30 Stability, scaling as the magazine drops from half full to empty. One guide summarised in the sources describes the real-world effect as very minor, so it is generally a niche pick.

Where it appears

Listed on roughly 170 weapons, mainly Fusion Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Auto Rifles and Submachine Guns, for example Metronome-52's perk pool. Check the item page of the specific weapon for its current roll options.
