; 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.
