AK-47 and M4 Recoil Control in CS2: Recoil Master
Spray control is what finishes the kill: if your first bullet lands but the enemy stays up, blame recoil control. The metric is Spray Accuracy — 27% on average at 1k Premier, 31% at 10k, up to 35% for top players. The clearest sign you need Recoil Master daily is a high HS% next to a low Spray Accuracy.

Teaches you to control recoil and walk a spray along the pattern — compensating the AK/M4 spray so bullets land in the head, not the ceiling. At mid range, spray control wins duels you can't close with taps.
How to train it
Map: "Recoil Master - Spray Training (CS2)" by uLLeticaL — the Workshop also has a dead CS:GO version, get CS2. Ghosthairs on the wall show the pattern: walk your crosshair along them while controlling recoil.
Settings: • Your real sens and crosshair. • Infinite ammo. • Bullet Time helps early on to read the pattern in slow motion — turn it off afterward. • Leave auto-reset of the pattern on LMB release enabled.
Routine (15 min): 1. 3 min AK on the ghosthairs in Bullet Time: memorize the shape — down first, then left-right. 2. 5 min AK at full speed: a full mag along the pattern, then 5-10 bullet bursts (you rarely dump all 30 in a match). 3. 4 min M4 (A4 or A1-S — whichever you run): softer pattern, focus on smooth control. 4. 2 min UMP: short bursts at close/mid range. 5. 1 min cool-down: compensate by feel, no peeking at the ghosthairs.
Common mistakes: only being able to do it with the guides on; always dumping all 30 (you need 5-10 bursts + re-strafe); forgetting to counter-strafe before spraying; over-compensating (pulling the mouse down too hard).
Benchmark: spray grouping without ghosthairs, and the first 5-10 bullets landing in the head/chest zone. In matches this shows up in your Spray Accuracy and consistent spray kills at mid range.
