In this article we will talk about the burning issue — how to control the spray in CS:GO. In other words — aiming shooting in bursts, which is typical for assault rifles and some submachine guns ala MAC-10, MP7, P90.
If you just press the left mouse button, bullets will fly as God intended. This is clearly visible if you try to plant the clip in the wall. You're more likely to see a chaotic pattern with no hint of heapiness. And that's why experienced gamers spend hours on test ranges in the spirit of Recoil Master, studying the behavior of the main guns in the game.
We will try to explain how to learn how to control the spray in CS GO on the most popular weapons, and at the same time we will tell you about the basic concepts that must be taken into account.
Scatter Control
Many people mistakenly believe that scatter factors and inaccuracy for each weapon — words are synonymous. But if you can mow for a hundred reasons, where the mouse — is far from the most important argument, then the scatter for each rifle, machine gun, pistol is strictly scripted.
The scatter pattern, i.e. spray is individual for AK-47, AUG, MAC-10 and other types of small arms. And static at the same time. By studying the nature of the pattern, you'll understand how to control the spray in CS:GO without much trouble. The main difficulty is to intuitively lead the mouse in counter-phase, and this movement will have to be memorized somewhere in the subcortex, so that it is firmly embedded in muscle memory.
Classification of weapons by degree of dispersion
There are three types of guns in the game by difficulty of mastering:
-
simple — G3SG1, SCAR-20, Glock-18, P2000, USP-S;
-
complex — UMP-45, MP7, MAC-10, AUG (in the scope), M4A1-S;
-
very complicated — AK-47, M4A4, Galil, SG-553, FAMAS, AUG, P90.
I would like to single out M249 machine gun, which is so unpredictable that it is more expensive to learn its behavior — . And here's why.
Now let's break down how to learn how to control spray using the most popular guns as an example.
AK-47
Let's start with the offensive rifle for terrorists and the most favorite gun among beginners and professionals. It's domestic. In fact, controlling AK-47 spray is extremely difficult. Especially if you're shooting from the belly.
The muzzle of the machine gun leads upward momentarily, then to the right and left with a small circular loop at the final stage. As you can see, when firing the rifle, you need to follow the reverse pattern.
M4A4
This rifle operates on the same principle as the AK, but the muzzle trajectory is more restrained and does not loop during the last phase.
To get used to the rifle, you should try to point the barrel downwards, and then (on 10-11 rounds) deflect the sight to the left and right. Approximate trajectory based on the magazine: 10-10-10.
M4A1-S
This is a modernized version of the M4A4, modified to include a silencer. This approach makes the gun quieter and adds to firing accuracy.
As can be seen from the diagram, the direction of travel does not require a strong deviation of the barrel to the right. Move along the trajectory of an inverted sickle with the end point on the bottom left. In this case, you can achieve good accuracy of hits.
P90
This is a favorite of many rattlesnakes and is extremely skill demanding if you try to shoot all 50 bullets in one go. Up to about the twentieth bullet the behavior of the gun is relatively predictable — . The barrel leads upwards and slightly to the right, but in the second half of the magazine there is a chaotic spread, which is very difficult to control.
.
To master the spray on the P90, you will have to intuitively memorize that after 20 bullets you should pull the gun sharply to the right, after 30, describe an arc from right to left, and then to the right again. Only practice and training will help you get the hang of it.
AUG
This rifle differs greatly in spray in normal and aimed mode. The classic barrel movement looks like this.
And this is how the barrel will move when the right mouse button is pressed.
As you have understood, these are already movements in counter-phase. This is how an AUG should be driven to achieve the best possible heap accuracy. At first glance it is difficult, but if you master the behavior of M4A1-S and AK-47, it will be much easier to handle.
Galil
Quite cheap and killable rifle, although it has its own problems. Due to the large spread, it is constantly being driven from side to side.
For the first 10 bullets, we diligently drive the barrel downward, then deflect it to the left, right and left again. The last manipulations should be carried out in increments of 6-7 strikes of the striker. Achieving such thorough control is difficult only for the first few dozen attempts. Special training maps that show the trajectory of each gun are easier to train on. Or practice on maps with bots.
SG 553
To master this rifle, you must learn how to draw a schematic Latin L in the air with a small loop at the bend. Schematically it looks as follows.
Probably one of the easiest trajectories for spray training in CS:GO, if we talk about more or less serious weapons. And that's taking into account a three dozen round magazine, like an AK-47. From simple to complex, as they say.
FAMAS
When trying to master the weapon, get used to the fact that its barrel leads not only upwards, but also from side to side, and in the final phase of the PP also makes a small loop. To get used to it, you will have to memorize this movement.
.
A little more than 20 rounds in the magazine, but it takes a long and thoughtful time to get used to the gun. On the other hand, FAMAS in skillful hands can instantly eliminate one or two opponents. In general, no one forbids you to train your muscle memory.
Useful tips for training
Remember that you can only control the spray, but not the random hitting of bullets. Otherwise, PRO-gamers would be shooting strictly at one point, having maxed out on one or two barrels with maximum killing power.
To make your task easier at the initial stages of training, you can enter the training mode, but don't forget to disable bots.
Next, successively enter three console commands:
-
sv_cheats 1 — allows you to activate cheat codes (only for familiarization and in single mode);
-
sv_infinite_ammo 2 — increases ammo to infinite and cancels reloads;
-
sv_showimpacts 1 — shows bullet marks.
After that, stand at the wall at a medium distance and shoot with all your might, trying to keep the crosshairs in the same place. If it starts to work out — go to random and try it out on real players. Just don't forget to turn off the cheats.
