In this article we will talk about painful — how to control the spray in CS:GO. If in other words — aimed shooting in bursts, which is typical for assault rifles and some submachine guns ala MAC-10, MP7, P90.
If you just hold down the left mouse button, the bullets will fly as God wishes. This can be clearly seen if you try to fit the clip into the wall. You are more likely to see a chaotic pattern without a hint of consistency. And therefore, experienced gamers spend hours on testing grounds in the spirit of Recoil Master, studying the behavior of the main trunks in the game.
We will try to explain how to learn how to control the spray in CS GO with the most popular weapons, and at the same time we will talk about the basic concepts that must be taken into account without fail.
Scatter control
Many people mistakenly believe that the dispersion and inaccuracy factors for each weapon — words synonyms. But if you can mow for a hundred reasons, where is the mouse — Far from being the most important argument, the spread for each rifle, machine gun, and pistol is strictly scripted.
Scatter pattern, i.e. The spray is individual for AK-47, AUG, MAC-10 and other types of small arms. And at the same time static. Having studied the nature of the pattern, you will understand how to control the spray in CS GO without any problems. The main difficulty is to intuitively move the mouse in antiphase, and this movement will have to be memorized somewhere in the subcortex so that it is firmly ingrained into muscle memory.
Classification of weapons by degree of dispersion
There are three types of guns in the game, depending on the difficulty of mastering:
-
simple — G3SG1, SCAR-20, Glock-18, P2000, USP-S;
-
complex — UMP-45, MP7, MAC-10, AUG (sighted), M4A1-S;
-
very complex — AK-47, M4A4, Galil, SG-553, FAMAS, AUG, P90.
I would especially like to highlight the M249 machine gun, which is so unpredictable that learning its behavior — more expensive for yourself. And here's why.
Now let's look at the example of the most popular guns, how to learn to control the spray.
AK-47
Let's start with an offensive rifle for terrorists and the most favorite gun among beginners and professionals. Domestic. In fact, AK-47 spray is extremely difficult to control. Especially if you shoot from the belly.
The muzzle of the machine gun instantly points upward, then right and left, with a small circular loop at the final stage. As you understand, when shooting you need to act in the opposite way.
M4A4
This rifle operates on a principle similar to the Kalash, but the trajectory of the muzzle is more restrained and does not create a loop in the last phase.
To get comfortable with the rifle, you must immediately try to point the barrel down, then (on the 10-11th round) tilt the sight left and right. Approximate trajectory of behavior based on the store: 10-10-10.
M4A1-S
This is a modernized version of the M4A4, modified by the ability to install a muffler. This approach makes the weapon quieter and adds accuracy when shooting.
As can be seen from the diagram, the direction of movement does not require a strong deviation of the barrel to the right. You need to move along the trajectory of an inverted sickle with the end point at the bottom left. In this case, you can achieve a good accuracy of hits.
P90
The rattler, beloved by many, is extremely demanding on skill if you try to shoot all 50 bullets in one fell swoop. Somewhere before the twentieth, the behavior of the weapon is relatively predictable — The barrel points up and slightly to the right, but on the second half of the magazine there is a chaotic spread that is very difficult to control.
To master the spray on the P90, you will have to intuitively remember that after 20 bullets you should sharply move the weapon to the right, after 30 describe an arc from right to left, and then right again. Here only practice and training will help you get comfortable.
AUG
This rifle is very different in spray in normal and aimed mode. The classic barrel movement looks like this.
And this is how the barrel will move when you hold down the right mouse button.
As you understand, these are already movements in antiphase. This is exactly how the AUG needs to be driven to achieve the highest possible accuracy. It may seem difficult at first glance, but if you master the behavior of the M4A1-S and AK-47, it will be much easier to cope with.
Galil
A fairly cheap and lethal rifle, albeit with its own cockroaches. Due to the large spread, it is constantly being pulled from side to side.
For the first 10 bullets, we diligently move the barrel down, then we deflect it to the left, right and left again. The last manipulations should be carried out in increments of 6-7 striker strikes. It is difficult to achieve such thorough control only during the first few dozen attempts. It is easier to learn on special training maps, which show the trajectory of each gun. Or train on maps with bots.
SG 553
To master this rifle, you need to learn how to write a schematic Latin L in the air with a small loop on the fold. Schematically it looks like this.
Perhaps one of the easiest trajectories for spray training in CS GO, if we talk about more or less serious weapons. And this is taking into account the magazine for three dozen rounds, like an AK-47. From simple to complex, as they say.
FAMAS
When trying to master a weapon, get used to the fact that its barrel leads not only upward, but also from side to side, and in the final phase of the PP it also makes a small loop. To get the hang of it, you'll have to memorize this movement.
There are a little more than 20 rounds in the magazine, but it takes a long time and thoughtfulness to get used to the gun. On the other hand, FAMAS in skillful hands is capable of instantly eliminating one or two opponents. And in general, no one forbids training muscle memory.
Useful tips for training
Remember that you can only control the spray, but not the random hit of bullets. Otherwise, PRO gamers would hit strictly at one point, having trained as much as possible on one or two barrels with maximum lethality.
To make your task easier in the initial stages of training, you can go into training mode, but don’t forget to turn off bots.
Next, enter three console commands in sequence:
-
sv_cheats 1 — allows you to activate cheat codes (for informational purposes only and in single player mode);
-
sv_infinite_ammo 2 — increases the number of ammo to infinity and cancels reloading;
-
sv_showimpacts 1 — shows bullet marks.
After that, stand against the wall at a medium distance and hit with all your heart, trying to keep the crosshair in the same place. If things start to work out — go to random and try it on real players. Just don’t forget to disable cheats.
