In CS: GO, the recoil is among the central elements of the gameplay. Since the beginning of the recoil of the weapons in Counter-Strike is included and one of the features that distinguishes the game from mainstream shooters. But it is also a hurdle for beginners, who often have difficulty to control the weapons. Therefore, we would like to engage with this guide a little under the arms and provide an insight into this element of the game, which will help to control the recoil better.

What is Recoil in CS: GO?

Each weapon has when firing a more or less strong rebound, which causes rapid succession given shots scatter. In computer games, this effect is often greatly reduced or even completely left out in, because it represents an additional difficulty for the players and can quickly lead to frustration if you do not meet, although it has well targeted.

In CS: GO, recoil plays a central role. This is certainly one of the reasons why especially new players are often frustrated. One has to get used to the behavior of the weapons and try to get hold of the rebound control. But that takes time and you have to bring along the necessary interest to try to improve his skills.

When you get out there to deal with the rebound, then shall the just mentioned frustration because you always better meets the time.

Recoil Patterns

Each weapon in CS: GO has a certain pattern, according to which acts of recoil. One can easily test where one imagines with some distance in front of a wall and an entire magazine shoots it. This can be repeated as often as you like. You will always recognize the same pattern.

Of course, each weapon has different patterns. For starters, it is useful to know that the M4A4 and the AK47 sprinkle in a T-pattern.

Both weapons first drag upwards, then to the right, to the left and to the right again.

Recoil Control

If you want to keep on the other hand, one would have in the above example, the mouse down, left, move right and left again. How much you have to try it yourself, feel it coming gradually.

When you have mastered this, you can even shoot relatively accurately with automatic fire. I have the time with the AK47 demonstrates, however, at a short distance, so it is easier to see.

The further the distance to the enemy, the less good is it to control also the Recoil, because the scattering with increasing distance is extreme. Generally, one should avoid sustained fire more, but more in the following subsection.

How to Shoot Correctly

This is an important Coin that is often overlooked by inexperienced players. In CS: GO is not "The more balls, the better!", But it is mainly on the accuracy. Basically you can say that with single shots or small salvos of 2-3 balls is better off than with continuous fire. The first balls are very precise with most weapons. From the fourth ball, the changes are often abrupt.

In this screenshot, it can be seen that the first two balls are accurate and the third strikes already significantly higher. By no later than the fourth ball itself makes the recoil felt and "jump" the other balls literally.

Therefore, it is better to concentrate on the enemy in its sights to have and deliver short bursts. The rebound effect goes namely very quickly. After about a half-second pause is a majority of the weapons in CS: GO again accurate.

Continuous fire is most useful when an enemy appears in front of one and even then you have to try the Recoil catching.

Inaccuracy

In addition to Recoil comes naturally still a certain inaccuracy of the weapons to do so. This is also different from gun to gun. That means even if you aim well, you have no guarantee that the bullets hit also.

Recoil Training

Once you internalize these basics of recoils, then helps really just play and practice a lot. By the time, you have mastered the various Recoil patterns better and become a feared opponent.
