What does Icarus actually do?

I know the description says it increases accuracy while airborne, but I feel like there has to be more to the perk. Otherwise, why put it as a fixed perk on the Jewel, one of the current most coveted hand cannons? Does it compensate for your character's vertical movement or increase aim assist while in the air, or is there something about it I'm missing entirely? I'd like those with experience using the perk to tell me what differences they've noticed, if any.

  • Icarus diminishes the accuracy penalty when airborne, allowing for accurate shots even when jumping around. Mostly useful for hunters, especially considering the Jewel only needs 1 headshot to 3 shot kill.
