M249 Spray Pattern Tutorial
M249 Spray Pattern
The first 10 to 11 bullets go up in a curved path toward the right, like the letter “C” upside down.
After that, the spray of the M249 curves into a weird “S” shape.
The remaining bullets follow an unpredictable spray pattern, mostly staying in a tight grouping besides a few jerks once or twice.
M249 Recoil Control Technique
To control the recoil of the M249, players must move their crosshairs in a path that’s the exact opposite of the spray pattern. Start by pulling the crosshair down in a curved path toward the left like the letter “C” for the first 10 or 11 bullets.
After that, it’s better to just keep your crosshair steady. That’s because for the remaining portion of the spray, the bullets essentially go all over the place, and memorizing the pattern would almost be impossible, or at least have no in-game benefit.
