This section covers "Quick Edit Anti-Recoil", featured in our SW BF2 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 to your ACTIVE Weapon Slot via your controller.
Remember that Anti-Recoil settings are per Weapon Slot.
⚠️ 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.
"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:
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.
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".
If the wrong Weapon Slot is ACTIVE, and 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.
