Learning Spray Patterns Efficiently
Spray pattern learning requires focused practice. Use offline practice with bots set to difficulty 0 (they don't shoot back). Choose one weapon (AK-47 preferred) and practice 50-shot bursts at a still target 20-30 times. Record your spray - you should see consistent patterns where bullets cluster together.
Focus on controlling the first 15-20 shots, which are most important in real gameplay. Spraying entire magazines is uncommon; most engagements end before 20 shots. Once comfortable with short sprays, gradually extend to longer sequences. Practice at different distances to understand how spray pattern appears visually at various ranges.
Transfer practice to aim trainers: use AimLab spray scenarios or similar tools. These provide instant feedback on spray accuracy. Daily 30-minute spray practice compounds into solid muscle memory. After 50+ hours of focused spray practice, you'll develop automatic spray control requiring minimal conscious thought.
Spray patterns in CS2 aren't pixel-perfect memorization like previous versions. The system has slight randomness after the initial spray. This means perfect spray control is impossible, but consistent general direction is achievable. Focus on direction and general grouping rather than exact replication.
