The P90 stands out in CS2 for its large magazine and high fire rate, making it a favorite for fast-paced plays. However, its effectiveness heavily relies on understanding and controlling its spray pattern. If you’re struggling to land consistent shots with the P90, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about its recoil control.

P90 Spray Pattern Tutorial
The P90’s spray pattern is chaotic due to its high fire rate, but understanding its trajectory can help improve your accuracy. Below, we break down the spray pattern to make controlling it more manageable:
P90 Spray Pattern
The recoil starts with the first 12 to 13 bullets going up in a curved, wavy path. At first, this path curves toward the right and then to the left until it reaches above the center of the target.
After the first 12 to 13 bullets, the spray has almost no vertical kick. It takes a sharp turn to the right for about 4 to 5 bullets, and then it kicks towards the left for 4 to 5 more bullets.
Next, the spray kicks to the right again till it reaches above the center of the target and then stays there for a couple of bullets. Finally, the spray moves to the far left until the mag ends.
P90 Recoil Control Technique
Move your crosshair along the path opposite the spray of the P90, and you will effectively control its recoil. Start by pulling the crosshair down in a wavey, curved path, first toward the right and then to the left. Since the curve isn’t that severe, you can simply pull the crosshair down for this part if that seems easier.
P90 Recoil Control
After that, you should not move your crosshair in the vertical direction. Move it straight to the left for 4 to 5 bullets, then to the right, and then to the left, and keep it there for a couple of bullets. Finally, move your crosshair toward the far right until the mag empties.

TLDR
Conclusion
The P90 has a weird pattern that can be difficult for some people to control since the horizontal movements after an initial kick are quite unpredictable. However, if you spend some time learning its recoil, you’ll eventually get the hang of it.
