Spray and Recoil Control when Shooting in Apex Legends
All guns have different recoils in Apex Legends. Learn to control your spray with this chart showing where your bullets are heading.
At first glance, Apex Legends looks a lot like your traditional battle royale game, but Respawn does enough to set it apart from the competition. One way to do this is to offer a huge amount of weapons instead of the traditionally named guns you see in a game like Fortnite. Each weapon functions differently in Apex Legends, so it's important to know the ins and outs of each one.
For example, there are several different assault rifles in the game, each of which works differently than the others. All of these automata have different spray options, but this guide will help you control and learn different patterns, allowing you to deal more damage to your enemies.
