The AK-47 is one of the most powerful and versatile weapons in Counter-Strike 2, capable of eliminating opponents with a single headshot, even through armor. However, its true potential lies in mastering its spray pattern. If you can control its recoil, the AK-47 becomes a deadly tool for all range engagements. Here’s a detailed guide to understanding and learning the AK-47 spray pattern in CS2.
AK-47 Spray Pattern Tutorial
The AK-47 spray pattern can be tricky to control, but learning it is essential for consistent performance. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand and practice it effectively:
The first 9 to 10 bullets go up, with the first 4 or 5 going straight and the last 4 to 5 curving slightly to the left.
After the 10th bullet, there is almost no vertical movement, and the spray moves toward the right for 4 to 5 bullets.
Finally, the bullets move to the left once and then to the right one time again, completing the spray pattern.
AK-47 Recoil Control Technique
To control the recoil of the AK-47, move the crosshair in a path that’s the exact opposite of the spray pattern. Start by pulling the crosshair down and slightly to the right at the end. Make sure to pull more than other weapons since the AK-47 recoil hits harder.
After that, move the crosshair toward the left in a straight line with almost zero vertical movement. Finally, move the crosshair to the right once and then one time again toward the left till the magazine ends.
TLDR
Conclusion
You now have a much better understanding of what the AK-47 spray pattern looks like and are in a much better position to control its recoil. Train in a private match, buy the AK-47, head over to a blank wall, and practice the AK-47 recoil pattern until you can get the spray to land in the smallest area possible.
