Since the latest engine update, I feel like some of the weapon spray patterns have shifted slightly, or maybe it is just the sub-tick system. I am trying to rebuild my loadout to match the current professional meta. Does anyone have a list of which weapons currently have the most consistent recoil for long-range engagements?
The M4A1-S still seems to be the king of accuracy, especially since the silencer helps hide your position through smoke. The AK-47 is obviously the powerhouse, but the first-shot accuracy can be unforgiving if you are moving even a tiny bit. I suggest practicing in offline maps to see how the bullet impacts have changed with the new lighting and volumetric effects.
For a deep dive into the mechanical stats and history of every firearm in the current roster, you can find more information (https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/) on this dedicated encyclopedia page. It covers everything from damage drop-off distances to reload timings for each specific model. Understanding the raw numbers behind the gameplay can give you a significant edge in competitive matches. Knowledge of your equipment is just as vital as your physical aiming skills.
