Does a Butt Stock or Stabilizer Help Recoil in Apex Legends?
Barell stabilizer all the way, no contest. It reduces recoil and makes your shots more accurate. Stocks are just for show.

Oh for sure, both help with recoil but in different ways! The Barrel Stabilizer directly reduces the recoil of your guns, making it easier to keep your aim on target. It's a must-have for any weapon it fits on. The Stock, including the Butt Stock for SMGs and rifles, helps with aim drift and weapon switching speed. So while it doesn't directly reduce recoil, it makes your weapon handling snappier, which can indirectly influence your control during a firefight. TL;DR: Barrel Stab for direct recoil control, Stock for comfort and speed.
Actually, I feel like stocks help a lot with handling, which kinda affects recoil management in a roundabout way. Faster aiming and weapon swapping mean you reposition faster in a fight, which can feel like better recoil control. Personal preference, I guess!
