AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Blackout Prototype is way more affordable and offers much wider curve selection, while the Project X is noticeably lighter and built around a low kick for faster releases. Junior players on a budget get more flexibility with the Blackout, but the Project X is a more refined stick for shooters who prioritize quick release above everything else.
