Autos could probably use some of that visual recoil reduction on console.

720s: 15% 600s: 7% 450s: 7% 360s: 15% I've used auto rifles of all kinds enough to understand that a little recoil tuning would be in their best interest, because some (not all) just feel so unbelievably shakey to use in a game mode like pvp where accuracy is king. 720s in particular always bring disappointment to me whenever a new one enters the loot pool because I know that even with good perks centered on making the gun accurate, that it will still feel like crap. The best feeling 720 on console (from my experience) was the valakadyn and not a single option they have created since has felt like it's been worth a damn. Steelfeather was solid, but even with firmly planted it felt a lot more shakey than it needed to be despite being a gun years newer than valakadyn. Same thing with 360s. You get a really great rolled false promises and you try it out thinking it's ok in crucible, then they start shooting back and the gun starts to flinch all over the place with the combination of it's recoil. Meanwhile high impact pulses feel quite stable with superior range and ttk capabilities and yet...they got a recoil tuning. I've tried many different combinations of 360s and none of them give me a legitimate reason to ever use them over pulse rifles. 600s don't necessarily need it with our current power viable options (the iron banner one feels really awkward to use), but a lot of old ones show very evident signs of poor recoil and so when some of them get brought back they will still feel like the garbage they were back then and so tuning them before we get them would be beneficial to their usage. 450s honestly don't even need it, but since I'm suggesting recoil improvements to the other auto rifles, might as well keep this archetype aligned with the others. Plus they could use any buff they get. I understand people might not be for this because of their "ease of use," but these weapons demand consistency for viability like every other weapon and a lot of these autos just feel like a waste of time to use in crucible because they don't offer the level of consistency a pulse or handcannon has to offer. When you pair this with barely faster ttk than 140s or slower ttk on average than the meta pulses they just feel like the middle man with no real place in the sandbox. This isn't to say they are bad, but it's that consistency that they lack compared to them that makes it so much more difficult to perform in higher tier play.
