| '''Stability''' | |||
| Increases aiming stability when being fired upon. Overall it makes the user flinch less when under fire thus allowing a steady aim on target. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
The Recharge and Survivor upgrades were both added via title update in August 2013. As such they are not available in [[Spartan Ops]]. If a player has one of them equipped in their loadout, it will automatically revert back to "None". These upgrades also do not appear in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. | |||
