How To Control Spray in CS GO?

There is just one method to control the weapon’s spray pattern in CS2 (CSGO), and it is moving your mouse in the opposite direction than the spray goes. It goes like that for virtually every weapon in the game. It may sound a little complicated, but you can look at that from a different perspective:

And that’s it – it works like that for every weapon in the game! Once you follow the principles, the bullet should land in the exact same place you aim with your crosshair, decreasing your chance of leaving bullet holes in the wall before dying during a duel.

So, if moving the mouse in the opposite direction is what spray control is really all about, what is the hard part about it? What separates the best players from the casual ones in this regard?

The Importance Of Muscle Memory in CS GO

You could say that the spray control aspect is something easy to learn but hard to master, especially in games like CS2 (CSGO). It is really hard 100 times out of 100 times to mirror the gun’s spray pattern with full precision, especially if we try to do that on moving targets.

For this, you must have a well-developed muscle memory, which you build simply by playing the game. In addition to this, the suitable Sensitivity and DPIsettings will also come in handy (ultimately low, to ensure the highest possible precision).

You can actually compare the spray control learning process to things like drawing – for the first weeks, your lines won't be perfectly straight, but if you do it every day, you'll get the hang of it. The Global Elite players are usually the ones with plenty of hours played, aren’t they?

Okay, now that we know how to control a weapon's recoil in CS2 (CSGO), and we also know that it's not as easy as it seems, let's check out the best methods of taking your spray control game to the next level.

Recoil Control Commands

One thing of practicing recoil patterns in CS2 (CSGO) is jumping into your own server and shooting at the wall. Yeah, we really mean it – you just shoot at the wall and try to control your recoil pattern as much as you can.

If you are into that kind of practice, we have some nice console commands to help you make such sessions even more productive:

We especially like the last command, as we can precisely see our accuracy and where exactly the bullet landed. It looks somewhat like this:

Regularity

The most important thing about practicing recoil control is regularity. Try to sneak a bit more extra hours into your weekly schedule if you really care about climbing ranks in CS2 (CSGO). Even if you spend just one extra 20 minutes every day, you are better than other players who didn’t do that, and you will be closer to having all CS2 (CSGO) spray patterns each day.
