![]() Muzzle Brake: Optimal for squeeze and release (when firing single or 3-round burst).Compensator: Optimal for when you are holding down the trigger (when firing full auto).It appears that the difference comes down to the type of firing you are doing, not the type of gun. AK-12 + muzzle brake, single and 3-round burst: Vertical climb is drastically reduced!.AK-12 + compensator, single and 3-round burst: Similar vertical climb to full-auto.Both vertical climb and horizontal deviation are drastically reduced. HK417, single-shot only: Here we can see that the muzzle brake makes a huge difference on a single-shot DMR.The compensator pattern has less horizontal deviation, however. AK-12, full-auto: The overall muzzle climb on full auto is largely identical. ![]() I chose this position on the VR Training map, just to the right of the starting location. I obviously needed a repeatable location where I could ensure consistent position and distance from an unbreakable wall, for the purposes of observing impact patterns. It appears my assumptions were wrong (apologies to u/MinhaPequenaLua for claiming incorrectly). I started second-guessing myself, however, and decided to do some in-game testing. I had previously believed (based off of the the spread/recoil graph in the loadout screen) that the muzzle brake helps reduce vertical climb and the compensator reduces horizontal spread, applying equally to both single and full-auto firing. I've seen numerous discussions here in the past about the differences between a compensator and a muzzle brake, and when you should use each one.
