RE-45 spray pattern

In Apex Legends, the RE-45 climbs almost straight up for the first 4 rounds, pulls left, then sweeps back to the right. 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 RE-45 spray

  1. Pull down to cancel the climb. The RE-45 rises about 5.5° 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 3.5° across — lead it left first, then back right.
  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 660 RPM a full 18-round spray plays out in ~1.64s. Trace it in SprayTrace at 20% speed, then ramp to full, then go Blind.
