Angled Grip II is an uncommon underbarrel weapon modification in Arc Raiders. Its main function is simple: it reduces horizontal recoil by 30%. That means it helps keep your weapon from drifting left and right while firing.
In general, horizontal recoil is harder to control than vertical recoil. Most players can pull down on their mouse or stick to manage vertical kick, but side-to-side movement is less predictable. Angled Grip II exists mainly to make sustained fire feel more stable.
This mod is blueprint-locked, so you cannot craft it unless you have already found the blueprint.
Which Weapons Can Use Angled Grip II?
Angled Grip II works with a fairly wide range of weapons. In practice, you’ll usually see it used on mid-range automatic or burst weapons rather than pure close-range guns.
Compatible weapons include:

• Ferro
• Kettle
• Rattler
• Stitcher
• Arpeggio
• Il Toro
• Venator
• Bettina
• Bobcat
• Tempest
• Vulcano
• Aphelion

Most players put Angled Grip II on weapons they plan to fire in longer bursts. If you mostly tap-fire or use semi-auto weapons, the benefit is still there, but it’s less noticeable.
How Much Difference Does 30% Horizontal Recoil Reduction Make?
In real gameplay, the effect is noticeable but not dramatic. Angled Grip II does not turn a hard-to-control gun into a laser. What it does is smooth out sideways movement enough that your crosshair stays closer to the target during sustained fire.
Most players notice the difference in these situations:

• Medium-range fights where you hold the trigger
• Tracking moving enemies
• Defending against ARC units that strafe

Usually, the improvement feels stronger on weapons that already have decent base stability. On very unstable guns, Angled Grip II helps, but you may still need good recoil control.
Is Angled Grip II Better Than Other Grips?
That depends on how you play.
Angled Grip II focuses only on horizontal recoil. It does not affect vertical recoil, reload speed, or handling. If you struggle more with vertical kick, another grip or mod may feel better.
In general:

• Players who spray often prefer Angled Grip II
• Players who burst or tap sometimes skip it
• Close-range focused players usually don’t prioritize it

Angled Grip II is a middle-ground option. It doesn’t specialize heavily, but it fits into many builds without drawbacks.
How Do You Get the Angled Grip II Blueprint?
You cannot craft Angled Grip II without the blueprint. The blueprint is usually found through scavenging in residential areas.
Common blueprint locations include:

• Residential drawers
• Residential desk drawers
• Residential closets
• Residential cabinets

Most players get this blueprint while looting early to mid-tier zones. It’s not extremely rare, but it’s also not guaranteed. You may open many containers before finding it.
Some players prefer to avoid long blueprint hunts. In that case, some choose to trade ARC Raiders blueprints easily on U4N, especially if they are focused on specific builds rather than exploration.
What Does It Cost to Craft Angled Grip II?
Once you have the blueprint, crafting Angled Grip II is fairly simple.
You need:

• 2× Mechanical Components
• 3× Duct Tape
• Gunsmith Level 2

For most players, these materials are common. Mechanical Components come from salvaging electronics and weapon parts. Duct Tape is found frequently in residential and industrial loot.
Because the crafting cost is low, many players keep extra Angled Grip II mods in storage for future weapons.
Is the Weight Important?
Angled Grip II has a weight of 0.5, which is low. In practice, this means it doesn’t heavily impact your overall loadout weight.
Most players don’t think about the weight of this mod unless they are running very tight weight limits or stacking multiple heavy attachments. For normal builds, the weight is rarely an issue.
Can You Sell or Recycle Angled Grip II?
Yes, you can sell or recycle it, but the returns are modest.

• Sell price: 2,000
• Recycling gives:
  • 1× Mechanical Components
  • 1× Duct Tape

Usually, players recycle Angled Grip II only if they have extras and need materials urgently. Selling it is rarely a priority unless inventory space is tight.
When Should You Use Angled Grip II?
Based on common player behavior, Angled Grip II is most useful when:

• You use automatic weapons at mid-range
• You prefer holding the trigger instead of tapping
• You want better tracking without changing weapon feel too much

It’s less useful if:

• You fight mostly at close range
• You rely on single shots
• You already use a weapon with minimal recoil

Most players test it in real combat before committing. The difference feels subtle in the shooting range but clearer during actual fights.
How Does Angled Grip II Fit Into Typical Builds?
In general, Angled Grip II fits well into balanced builds. Players who don’t want extreme specialization often choose it because it has no downside.
Common combinations include:

• Angled Grip II + basic muzzle control
• Angled Grip II + extended magazine
• Angled Grip II on versatile all-purpose weapons

It’s usually not part of high-risk, high-reward builds. Instead, it supports consistency and control over long sessions.
Is Angled Grip II Worth Using?
For most players, Angled Grip II is a solid, practical mod. It doesn’t change how a weapon works, but it makes gunfights more manageable, especially during longer engagements.
If you already have the blueprint, it’s usually worth crafting at least one. If you don’t, it’s not something you need to rush, but it’s useful once you get it.
In Arc Raiders, small stability improvements add up over time. Angled Grip II is one of those quiet upgrades that most players end up appreciating after real combat experience.
