This section covers "Quick Edit Anti-Recoil & Bloom Control", featured in our Gears 5 GAMEPACK for the STRIKEPACK HORIZON™ controller adapter & powered by the STRIKEPACK CENTRAL™ smartphone app.
Before continuing, please ensure that you have at least completed GAMEPACK Setup, Weapon Swap Mode, & Weapon Setup. You MUST be comfortable with managing your ACTIVE Weapon Slot & Weapon M.O.D.s to proceed...
You can apply Anti-Recoil & Bloom Control to your ACTIVE Weapon Slot via your controller.
Remember that Anti-Recoil & Bloom Control settings are per Weapon Slot.
⚠️ Be aware that Supported Weapons in this GAMEPACK DO NOT have Optimized Anti-Recoil; rather they have Optimized Active Reload for the "Auto Reload" M.O.D. (Macro On Demand).
Our team has determined that Anti-Recoil yields mixed results in this game, with "Bloom Control" replacing Horizontal Adjust for Supported Weapons due to it being more effective overall; especially when in cover.
"ADS Fire" will become familiar regardless, as most of our dedicated GAMEPACKs with Optimized Anti-Recoil are solely restricted to it with NO option to change that.
Once you are in-game 🎮, position yourself & aim at a wall 🧱 or static target 🎯, ensuring that you have plenty of ammo & space to compare recoil. Switch to the in-game weapon 🔫 that you will be using first & ensure the Weapon Slot that you intend to adjust is ACTIVE, or highlighted on the Dashboard.
Your controls will be restricted, but you will be allowed to move around & test your current weapon.
It is wise to focus on vertical adjustment first:
"Horizontal Anti-Recoil Adjust" DOES NOT play a big part in this game. It will ONLY appear for an ACTIVE Weapon Slot when a Supported Weapon or GENERIC Fire: "Bloom Control" has NOT been assigned. Otherwise, "Bloom Control Delay" will take its place.
If your aim is drifting in both directions, this type of horizontal recoil CANNOT be fixed & Horizontal Adjust MUST be kept at its default 0 value.
If you get into a mess, at any point in Quick Edit Mode, you can opt to reset your adjustments to default. This reset will only affect the ACTIVE Weapon Slot:
Focus on fine tuning to acceptable results, as your weapon may have some random recoil, and that CANNOT be fixed:
At this point, you are essentially done with tailoring Anti-Recoil for this Weapon Slot to suit your current in-game weapon. Feel free to repeat the process for your another Weapon Slot & another in-game weapon.
While you are firing at an enemy, in-game aim assist can slightly interfere with Anti-Recoil. If you find this difficult to deal with, you can try ever-so-slightly over increasing Vertical Anti-Recoil.
If an Optimized Weapon or GENERIC Fire: "Bloom Control" is assigned to the ACTIVE Weapon Slot, its Horizontal Anti-Recoil Adjust will be replaced with "Bloom Control Delay":
While in Quick Edit Mode, be either stationary, slightly moving, or in cover then:
Be aware that at low values other than 0, Bloom Control will have a Rapid Fire effect on a Semi-Automatic Weapon.
Bloom Control utilizes strict timings & our team DOES NOT condone or advise trying to repurpose it for any game that is prohibiting or actively monitoring for macro use.
You should also be aware that Anti-Recoil Activation in this GAMEPACK defaults to "Any Fire", which means Anti-Recoil will just activate whenever your FIRE button is HELD.
However, if you find recoil to be too wildly different between AIMING DOWN SIGHTS & NOT doing so, it may be more practical for you to go into the GAMEPACK Settings first & restrict Anti-Recoil Activation to "ADS Fire".
If the wrong Weapon Slot is ACTIVE, or if you are unfamiliar with Weapon Swap Controller Shortcuts, tap the appropriate Weapon Slot once to make it ACTIVE:
To enter Quick Edit Mode, while HOLDING ACTIVATOR, HOLD RIGHT STICK BUTTON until you feel a pulsing rumble.
You can adjust the direction of the Anti-Recoil pull with the D-PAD by TAPPING (precise) or HOLDING (faster) the appropriate direction. Your adjustments will change the following slider values on the Dashboard & they will be felt as heavy rumbles unless the adjustment ceiling or floor is reached:
If your aim is drifting upwards, use the DOWN direction on the D-Pad to pull downwards ⬇️.
If your aim is drifting downwards, use the UP direction on the D-Pad to pull upwards ⬆️.
If your aim is exclusively drifting to the left, use the RIGHT direction on the D-Pad to pull right ➡️.
If your aim is exclusively drifting to the right, use the LEFT direction on the D-Pad to pull left ⬅️.
To reset, HOLD LEFT STICK BUTTON until you feel 2 heavy rumbles.
If you are satisfied with your results, you can PRESS RIGHT STICK BUTTON to exit Quick Edit Mode.
If in this position, your weapon is firing too quickly that your crosshairs expand & you lose too much accuracy at range or from cover, use the RIGHT direction on the D-Pad to increase the delay between shots, slowing your fire rate ➡️.
If after adjustment, your weapon is firing too slowly to be effective at range or from cover, use the LEFT direction on the D-Pad to decrease the delay between shots, speeding your fire rate back up ⬅️.
