Mastering Recoil Control for Pinpoint Accuracy

[jornw]

So you’ve got your sensitivity dialed in and a bo6 bot lobby service daily warm-up routine going — now it’s time to talk about the thing that separates casuals from killers: recoil control.
Black Ops 6 has a wide range of weapons, and each one has its own recoil pattern. The days of "spray and pray" are dead. If you want to hit more shots, you have to understand and control that kickback.

Step 1: Learn the Pattern
Hop into the firing range or a private match. Pick your main weapon — whether it’s the XM4 or whatever the BO6 meta is right now. Fire at a wall without moving your stick or mouse. Watch where the bullets go. That’s your recoil pattern. Now practice pulling in the opposite direction to keep it steady.

Step 2: Burst Fire Discipline
Even with good control, full-auto will cost you kills at mid-long range. Practice burst-firing (3–5 bullets). You’ll stay more accurate and save ammo. This is crucial in gunfights where you only get one chance.

Step 3: Pair Attachments Wisely
Some grips and barrels can massively reduce vertical/horizontal recoil. But don’t blindly equip whatever reduces kick — balance it with ADS speed and mobility. Fine-tune your loadout around how you play.

Pro Tip: If your first few bullets always hit then scatter, you’re probably not bursting enough. Focus on controlling those opening shots — that’s what wins duels.

Recoil control is a skill, not a stat. Practice it. Understand it. Once you’ve got it down, you’ll start hitting those laser beam sprays that people accuse you of hacking for.
