; Steady Hands Sarsaparilla
: ''“Because accuracy is sexy.”''

== Overview ==
'''Steady Hands Sarsaparilla''' buffs your **Handling** perk, smoothing out weapon behaviour across the board. Each purchase adds **+1 Handling**, which reduces recoil kick, tightens bullet drift/spread, and tones down camera shake — turning rowdy boomsticks into well-behaved lasers.

== Mechanics ==
* **Interact range:** 16 units.  
* **Interaction:** Instant; spawns a drink entity and applies the perk immediately.  
* **Scope:** Handling perks affect **all weapons**, including Beast variants.  
* **Audio:** **sndBuy** on purchase, **sndPowerDrink** on drink.

=== Cost ===
* **Formula:** `<code>cost = 1000 * (perks.handling + 1)</code>`  
* **Rounding:** `<code>cost = round(cost / 25) * 25</code>` → price is a multiple of **25**.  
* **Scaling:** Linear with your current Handling level — pricier the steadier you get.

=== Effect ===
* **Per purchase:** `perks.handling += 1`  
* **In practice:** Reduces weapon **recoil**, narrows **drift/spread**, and lowers **camera shake** via the game’s firing calculations.  
* **Global:** Benefits every gun you pick up afterward.

== Strategy ==
* **Tames heavy hitters:** Makes high-recoil weapons (LMGs, battle rifles, hand cannons) far more viable, especially at range.  
* **Point efficiency:** Better accuracy = fewer wasted bullets → **fewer shots per kill** → **higher point yield** under your scoring rules.  
* **Order of operations:** A couple ranks of Handling before big Beast upgrades can multiply their value (all that new power stays on target).  
* **Pair with:** [[Kaboom Kola]] (damage) to convert steadiness into lethal TTKs; [[Fleet Feet Fizz]] (speed) for safer kiting while ADS.

== Trivia ==
* The drink entity currently uses the sprite **`sDamageDrink`** — the handling and damage drink sprites were **swapped in development** because the art “fit better the other way around.” The internal names just never got renamed.  
* Early names on the whiteboard included “**Grip Juice**,” “**Laser Hands**,” and “**Calm-A-Cola**.” Steady Hands Sarsaparilla won for maximum yee-haw energy.
