There are several types of fire in CS:GO. Single, short, and long bursts, as well as “burst”. Fire in a long burst is called a spray or clip. Spray is the most difficult type of shooting. It requires not only accuracy in aiming but also excellent recoil compensation when shooting. Otherwise, the shots will fly past and there will be no sense in shooting at all.

How to control spray in CS:GO?

To control the spray in CS:GO, you need to understand how it works. During automatic firing, burst shots always fly to a predetermined location. This is called a recoil pattern or spray pattern. If you move the mouse in the opposite direction from the recoil movement, you can compensate for it. This is the basic spray control technique in CS:GO.

There is also an advanced version. The fact is that the accuracy of the weapon is affected by movement, but it does not affect the spray pattern. So if you control the recoil, you can move freely. At the moment of stopping, the inaccuracy of movement disappears and the bullets again fly exactly according to the recoil pattern.

Recoil Master is a great map for learning spray control.

How to learn weapon spray patterns?

The best way to learn weapon spray patterns in CS:GO is to practice, sorry about that. The CS:GO Workshop already has dozens of maps for practicing recoil control. To install them, just subscribe to the map in the Workshop and then launch them from the menu into the game.
