Mouse movement

Move the mouse from the crosshair along the line to counter recoil. Scale depends on sensitivity.

Defining trait

An armored headshot can kill, so stopping for the first bullet matters more than reaching the full 600 rounds per minute.

Reading the numbers

Why does damage change with distance?

The game applies a range modifier for every 500 game units. The slider models that modifier; it is not a guarantee for every encounter.

Is this a bullet spray pattern?

Compare first-shot spread bounds from game parameters. Stance changes inaccuracy; the distance slider changes the zone diameter. Coordinates from recorded OP.GG sequences: camera recoil without mouse compensation. Random bullet spread is excluded.
