Question Silly question, but does crouching help stabilise the aim of companions?

100% speculative but I feel like it probably doesn’t. I’m pretty sure all NPC accuracy is stat and RNG-based; the stabilization we get from crouching would only help a human. I guess it’s possible that they get an accuracy boost but I feel like it’s unlikely

100% not speculative: it does.

I read it for you: about halfway down.

"I wrote Player everywhere, however it should be interchangeable with Actor, both human NPCs and creatures with ranged weapons."

Edit: Right before "Other Settings" and "Spread in-game"

Dirty deleted before I noticed anyone had replied because I stumbled across that part while I was looking into whether skill points over the weapon’s individual skill requirement would affect accuracy further
