Spray patterns are essential for mastering weapon control in Counter-Strike 2. Each weapon has a unique recoil pattern that players must learn to compensate for accurate shooting.

Understanding Spray Patterns

When firing automatically, bullets follow predictable patterns unique to each weapon. Learning these patterns and practicing proper compensation techniques is crucial for improving accuracy.

Popular Weapon Spray Patterns

AK-47:

• Initial vertical recoil followed by left/right movement
• Compensation: Pull down, then left, right, left
• Key feature: Faster spray pattern than CS:GO

M4A4:

• Starts with downward motion, drifts right then left
• Compensation: Pull down, right, then left
• More controllable than AK-47 but less damage

M4A1-S:

• Upward movement with leftward drift
• Compensation: Pull down and right, then left/right
• Most controllable of the main rifles

Tips for Mastering Recoil

1. Practice on walls to learn patterns
2. Use custom training maps
3. Start with short bursts before full sprays
4. Maintain proper crosshair placement
5. Keep movement minimal while spraying

Optimal Settings

• DPI: 800 (recommended starting point)
• Sensitivity: Personal preference, but lower is generally better
• Crosshair: Clear and visible, customize to preference

Advanced Techniques

• Burst firing: 3-4 bullets for medium range
• Tap shooting: Single shots for long range
• Crouch spraying: Increases accuracy but reduces mobility
• Position management: Stay near cover while spraying

Practice these patterns and techniques consistently to improve accuracy and combat effectiveness in CS2.
