Vector .45 spray pattern

In Escape from Tarkov, the Vector .45 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 Vector .45 spray

  1. Pull down to cancel the climb. The Vector .45 rises about 8.0° 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 5.0° 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 1100 RPM a full 14-round spray plays out in ~0.76s. Trace it in SprayTrace at 20% speed, then ramp to full, then go Blind.
