R-99 spray pattern

In Apex Legends, the R-99 climbs steeply off the first round, drifts to the right, then sweeps hard to the left. Here's the shape, the numbers, and how to control it — then drill it into muscle memory on SprayTrace.

A characteristic recoil model that captures the weapon's real climb, direction and rhythm for training — not a pixel-exact plot of the in-game spray.

How to control it

Controlling the R-99 spray

  1. Pull down to cancel the climb. The R-99 rises about 9.5° over its first burst — drag straight down to keep the crosshair on target as it climbs.
  2. Counter the horizontal sweep. After the climb the pattern swings 5.5° across — lead it right first, then a hard correction left.
  3. Reset between bursts. Recoil fully resets after about 0.30s off the trigger — tap-fire or burst at range, spray up close.
  4. Drill it to muscle memory. At 1080 RPM a full 14-round spray plays out in ~0.78s. Trace it in SprayTrace at 20% speed, then ramp to full, then go Blind.
