Recoil pattern · 30 shots
M4A4
Milder than AK. Vertical for ~5 shots, then a softer right then left drift. More forgiving for new players.
Spray pattern
First shot is at the crosshair (origin). Subsequent shots walk up and out — counter-pattern by pulling DOWN and opposite the rise.
How to spray-control
- Shot 1-3: tap or burst. Don’t spray past 3 shots beyond ~10m unless the recoil is straight.
- Shot 4-9: if continuing, pull mouse straight DOWN. Resist the urge to over-correct horizontal early.
- Shot 10-15: the “hard right” section on AK-class rifles. Pull DOWN-LEFT to counter.
- Shot 16+: the “hard left” tail. Pull DOWN-RIGHT. Most players reset before reaching this far.
- Reset: stop firing for ~1 second to fully regain accuracy. Re-acquire crosshair, then start the pattern over.
