Considering how straightforward the UMP-45 recoil is, most players think that simply pulling the crosshair down would work. However, that will never help you get consistent results. To help you control the spray with more consistency, here’s a complete guide on the UMP-45 spray pattern.
UMP-45 Spray Pattern Tutorial
As mentioned, the spray pattern for the UMP-45 is quite straightforward, which is relatively unusual for weapons in CS2.
The recoil starts almost straight up in a slightly curved path like an upside-down “C” for the first 11 to 12 bullets.
After reaching a certain height, the UMP-45 has almost no recoil, with most bullets staying in a tight circular path.
UMP-45 Recoil Control Technique
Move your crosshair along the path opposite the spray of the UMP-45, and you will effectively control its recoil. Start by pulling the crosshair down in a slightly curved path toward the left, like the letter “C.” You’ll need to pull your crosshair down significantly.
After the first 11 to 12 bullets, the recoil stays within a tight spread. Since the recoil is a bit weird at this point and the spread is fairly small, there is no need to move your crosshair in any direction.
Conclusion
The UMP-45 has a fairly straightforward pattern, but simply pulling your crosshair down isn’t the correct approach. It’s still a good idea to use a guide and practice its recoil so you are more consistent while trying to spray down enemies with the UMP-45.
