MP5A4 spray pattern

In Rust, the MP5A4 climbs almost straight up for the first 4 rounds, drifts to the right, then sweeps hard to the left, tightening into a jitter as the magazine empties. 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 MP5A4 spray

  1. Pull down to cancel the climb. The MP5A4 rises about 8.5° 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 4.5° across — lead it right first, then a hard correction left.
  3. Reset between bursts. Recoil fully resets after about 0.35s off the trigger — tap-fire or burst at range, spray up close.
  4. Drill it to muscle memory. At 600 RPM a full 30-round spray plays out in ~3.0s. Trace it in SprayTrace at 20% speed, then ramp to full, then go Blind.
