Season 4 has finally arrived with fresh mechanics, but one underrated element is proving to be a difference-maker in gunfights: the Agile Aiming Boon. This perk directly affects accuracy and movement speed when aiming, and it can completely change how fights play out, especially with the current AR lineup.

Why the Agile Aiming Boon Matters

The Agile Aiming Boon reduces both recoil and spread while aimed in, while also boosting movement speed when strafe-firing. With ARs like the OXR AR and Fury AR dominating this season, the boon helps counter third-person bloom mechanics. Normally, bloom increases as shots are fired, making long sprays inaccurate. This boon reduces that randomness, leading to more consistent shot connections.

Players frustrated with streaky AR performance—great one game, inconsistent the next—are likely experiencing the hidden benefit of having this boon active without realizing it. The difference isn’t absolute accuracy, but it is enough to tilt fights in your favor across multiple engagements.

Performance Across AR Rarities

One standout feature is how effective the boon remains regardless of weapon rarity. Tests with green OXR ARs showed that full sprays still hit reliably, something usually reserved for higher-tier variants. At long range, controlled tap firing remains ideal, but close to mid-range fights benefit heavily from faster, more accurate sprays.

This boon often makes a bigger impact than upgrading a weapon by one or two rarity tiers. Instead of relying solely on damage increases, landing more bullets faster turns into a real advantage. Players struggling with bloom-heavy firefights will notice a smoother experience once this perk is in play.

How to Get the Agile Aiming Boon

While boons can drop randomly from chests and bug areas, the Agile Aiming Boon has a reliable source: OXR vending machines. These machines cost 600 gold and can be found across the map at locations such as OXR HQ, Foxy Floodgate, Supernova, Academy, Demon’s Debris, and Dystopia City.

Even if players don’t know exact machine placements, vending icons appear on the minimap when nearby. With so many available across POIs, it’s practical to make this boon a consistent pickup. Gold is easier to farm this season through weapon bunkers, which means affording the boon early in matches isn’t difficult.

Why It’s Worth the Investment

Compared to flashy damage buffs tied to rarity, the Agile Aiming Boon provides a subtle but steady edge. Better accuracy means more shots connect, making time-to-kill significantly faster in real fights. With vending machines easily accessible and gold relatively abundant, skipping this boon is leaving potential wins on the table.

Players who find ARs inconsistent this season should give the Agile Aiming Boon a chance. It’s not a guaranteed win condition, but over time, it reduces variance and creates more reliable firefights. In a season shaped around bloom-based ARs, this underrated boon is one of the most valuable pickups available.
