Usage Edit

Something important to note is that Focus does not actually improve the accuracy of weapons (i.e. their spread, or weapon card accuracy percentage), but improves Mordecai's accuracy (i.e. his ability to hold a gun straight). See Accuracy for details.

The accuracy boost is actually mostly useless on Sniper Rifles, as they are always perfectly aimed when shouldered. This skill's effect will actually be much more noticeable on weapons with recoil, or poor handling, in particular Repeater Pistols, Machine Pistols and Revolvers. SMGs and fast firing Shotguns will also somewhat profit from this skill.

However the Sway control balances the talent out by providing greater stability to a weapon that is difficult to use otherwise. Along with a rifle with at least 1x zoom this talent allows easy soloing from safe distances due to the ease of head shots.
