the Light Weapons Control adds a 10% improvement to the overall accuracy of the weapons on a vehicle, allowing better target acquisition of stationary targets. It is the smaller of the weapon controls, requiring a 1 × 1 option slot. The Hoverbike has a slot specifically for this module. It is also an excellent item to fill in any gaps in the option slots if there are any.

Value Stacking

The abilities of the weapon control modules can be stacked, however every additional module of the same type will be reduced by half for every module of the same type that is installed. The formula can be interpreted roughly as:

Module Accuracy boost / 0.5n

Where n is the number of additional modules being installed. For example:

  • 1st module: 10% (10% × 0.50)
  • 2nd module: 5% (10% × 0.51)
  • 3rd module: 2.5% (10% × 0.52)
  • 4th module: 1.25% (10% × 0.53)

The fractions are rounded to the nearest integer. In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.

Note: The value 0.50 results in an answer of 1
