The AK-47 Pattern

The AK-47 is a one-hit kill to the head, but if you miss that first bullet, you need to know how to control the resulting spray. The recoil pattern is not random; it follows the exact same path every time.

The "Question Mark" Shape

1. Bullets 1-10: The gun kicks violently upwards. You must pull your mouse steadily down.

2. Bullets 10-15: The gun stops kicking up and aggressively kicks to the right. You must pull your mouse to the left.

3. Bullets 15-30: The gun swings back to the left. You must pull your mouse to the right.

Pro Tip: For 90% of your engagements, you only need to master the first 10 bullets (pulling straight down). If you haven't killed the enemy in 10 bullets, you should un-peek or strafe to reset your recoil entirely.
