Quick Edit Anti-Recoil & Bloom Control | Shooter
Quick Edit Anti-Recoil & Bloom Control adjustments via your controller in Shooter, STRIKEPACK CENTRAL™ GAMEPACK for STRIKEPACK HORIZON™.
Overview
This section covers "Quick Edit Anti-Recoil & Bloom Control", featured in our Shooter 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.
1. Getting Started
Assessing Your Game
⚠️ Before you get started, assess the type of recoil mechanics that your game relies on, as there are limitations to what Anti-Recoil can address:
Basic vertical recoil where your weapon drifts upwards in pretty much a straight line can usually be fixed with "Anti-Recoil Vertical Adjust".
Basic horizontal recoil where your weapon drifts to a single side can usually be fixed with "Anti-Recoil Horizontal Adjust".
Recoil that shifts in strength throughout the length of time firing, often with complex zigzag-like recoil patterns, can NEVER be completely resolved with generic Anti-Recoil & this is usually addressed by our team through game-specific, weapon-specific, "Optimized Anti-Recoil" in dedicated GAMEPACKs. This is beyond the scope of our Shooter GAMEPACK.
Randomized (unpredictable) recoil behaviors & bullet spread (bloom), or essentially anything that is NOT skill based, CANNOT be fixed with Anti-Recoil.
Bloom, a form of bullet spread, can ONLY be improved upon by reducing fire rate, which can be done with GENERIC Fire: "Bloom Control" & "Bloom Control Delay". Based on our team's experience, games that heavily utilize recoil mechanics DO NOT utilize bloom mechanics to a degree that is worth addressing & vice-versa. Games may even fake the appearance of vertical recoil when they actually utilize bloom.
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 your game utilizes AIM DOWN SIGHTS with wildly different recoil when NOT doing so, it may be more practical for you to go into the GAMEPACK Settings first & restrict Anti-Recoil Activation to "ADS Fire".
"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.
Positioning Yourself
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.
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:
2. Enter Quick Edit
To enter Quick Edit Mode, while HOLDING 
ACTIVATOR, HOLD 
RIGHT STICK BUTTON until you feel a pulsing rumble.
Your controls will be restricted, but you will be allowed to move around & test your current weapon.
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:
3. Vertical Adjust
It is wise to focus on vertical adjustment first:
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 ⬆️.
4. Horizontal Adjust
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 ⬅️.
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.
5. Reset
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:
To reset, HOLD 
LEFT STICK BUTTON until you feel 2 heavy rumbles.
6. Exit Quick Edit
Focus on fine tuning to acceptable results, as your weapon may have some random recoil & that CANNOT be fixed:
If you are satisfied with your results, you can PRESS RIGHT STICK BUTTON to exit Quick Edit Mode.
In-game Aim Assist
While you are firing at an enemy, in-game aim assist can slightly interfere with Anti-Recoil. How much of a problem this will be if at all, largely depends on your game. If you find this difficult to deal with, you can try ever-so-slightly over increasing Vertical Anti-Recoil.
Bloom Control Delay
If the GENERIC Fire: "Bloom Control", a feature that slows your fire rate to potentially improve accuracy when you are stationary or slightly moving, is available to use in the GAMEPACK & 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 or slightly moving; ideally crouched or in cover, then:
If while in the above position, your weapon is firing so quickly that your crosshairs expand, causing inaccuracy at range, use the RIGHT direction on the D-Pad to increase the delay between shots, slowing your fire rate ➡️.
If while in the above position, your weapon is firing too slowly after adjustment, use the LEFT direction on the D-Pad to decrease the delay between shots, speeding your fire rate back up ⬅️.
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 using it in any game that is prohibiting or actively monitoring for macro use.
