The muzzle brake is a muzzle weapon mod in Fallout 4.
Effects[]
When equipped on any applicable weapon, it appears with the "Muzzled" prefix and a horizontal metal attachment at the end of the barrel. It gains a 25% reduction to per-shot recoil and decreased weapon recoil at the cost of variably decreased effective range.
