Not one of the most understood perks in the game, but the stability it lends to the bottom 50% of the magazine definitely helps A LOT. Works fantastically on f.e. Braytech Werewolf.

Under Pressure increases the accuracy and stability of a weapon once it falls under half its magazine size, with the effect linearly increasing up through the final shot in the magazine. It's normally very boring, but like High-Impact Reserves - the damage counterpart to this utility perk - it's at its most interesting, and normally most enjoyable, when you find ways to exploit it.

In the Crucible, it's more useful on Special and Heavy weapons, as the scarcity of these ammo types means you'll rarely even have a single full magazine for any given Special/Heavy weapon, much less multiple, so the perk is effectively active more often. This is what made Main Ingredient so monstrous, and it's still effective at this today. Also, Aggressive Scout Rifles (currently just Long Arm) can deliberately only reload up to half the magazine due to their interruptible gate-loading reload mechanics, letting you maintain the bonus continuously. Shotguns would also be able to do this, if any Shotgun could get Under Pressure, but none can currently. I think.

Failing that, it's an okay perk, I guess. Mostly for PvP, for tense one-on-one's, to give you a little accuracy edge to hit more shots to kill the other guy a little easier before he kills you. Think of it like Eye of the Storm in that regard - for those desperate moments where you have to hold down the trigger on one guy instead of being able to kill him right away with minimal damage - albeit based on your mag', not your health. By these merits, it's okay in PvE too, for, say, when you really need to keep your gun on-target while DPS'sing down a boss while it's firing on you, but I don't need to tell you that's pretty specific, even if it's a very real situation we've all experienced.
