The Spitfire deals more damage per bullet.

• Damage 19 → 21
• Headshot damage: 26

The Spitfire does more damage per bullet.

Damage 18 → 19

The M600 Spitfire can now use barrels and has less recoil when aiming and slightly tighter hipfire spread.

• Added Barrels for improved stability
• ADS Recoil improved
• Hipfire spread slightly improved

The Spitfire now uses light ammo and magazines and climbs upward more when firing, so it is harder to keep on target.

• Recoil adjustments to increase vertical barrel climb.
• Spitfire now uses light ammo and magazines.

The Spitfire is back in floor loot and much weaker: it does less damage, loses its barrel slot, has a smaller purple and gold magazine, deals less headshot damage and reloads and handles more slowly.

Damage 19 → 18

• Spitfire back to floor loot
• Damage 19 → 18
• Purple & Gold Magazine capacity 55 → 50
• Crouched hipfire spread increased
• Removed barrel attachment slot
• Headshot damage multiplier 1.75 → 1.5
• Headshot distance 64m → 57m
• Reload time 3.2 → 3.4
• Draw time 0.7 → 0.8
• Holster time increased to 0.75 to 0.65
• Raise time 0.55 → 0.65
• Lower time 0.5 → 0.6

TipTap fire instead of spraying; the smaller magazine and slower reload reward shorter bursts.

The M600 Spitfire deals a little more damage per bullet, its hipfire spread goes back to the values before its earlier nerf, and it holds more rounds with a purple magazine.

• Damage 18 → 19
• Hip Fire Spread back to season 8 pre-nerf values
• Purple Mag Size 50 → 55

TipDamage, hip fire and magazine all moved the same way, so it rewards holding your ground up close rather than backing off to aim in. Hunt a purple mag first, since that is where the extra rounds live.

The Spitfire's recoil is harder to control at the start of a spray.

Reduced recoil controllability early in the pattern

The Spitfire does slightly more damage per bullet but takes longer to reload, both normally and from empty.

• Bullet damage 18 → 19
• Reload speed 2.8 seconds → 3.2
• Empty Reload speed 3.33 seconds → 3.8

TipHigher damage rewards precision, but reload times are now a real penalty between engagements.

The Spitfire's recoil is easier to control.
