Recoil Smoothing and Target Transfer

Super Steady Aim While Moving!

In fast action shooters like Apex Legends, Call of Duty, and Overwatch, tracking a moving target while moving your mouse activates a game physics mechanic called recoil smoothing!

How Recoil Smoothing Works:

1. Game Engine Smoothing Threshold: When your mouse horizontal tracking speed exceeds a specific threshold (around 3.75 degrees per second), the game engine automatically reduces vertical weapon recoil!
2. Strafe Smoothing Synergy: Combining horizontal movement strafing with mouse tracking keeps target speed above the recoil smoothing threshold, turning automatic weapons into laser beams with almost zero vertical recoil kick.
3. Target Transfer Drills: Practice transferring smooth tracking from one target to another without stopping your spray.
