Rust AK Spray Pattern Guide – Learn the Recoil Step by Step

• The AK is one of the strongest weapons in Rust, but also one of the hardest to control consistently.
• This guide breaks down the AK spray pattern simply and shows how players improve recoil using manual training or the Rust Recoil Script.

How the Rust AK Spray Pattern Works

When you hold down left-click with the AK and don’t move your mouse, the bullets follow the exact same pattern every time. Mastering the AK means learning that pattern and pulling your mouse in the opposite direction to cancel the recoil.

The AK recoil moves in three clear stages:

• Bullets 1–10: Recoil goes almost straight up.
• Bullets 11–20: Pulls up and heavily right.
• Bullets 21–30: Curves back to the left.

Visually, it looks like an upward hook or “7-shape.”

Step 1 – See the Pattern Yourself

To really understand AK recoil, you need to see it:

• Stand a few metres from a wall.
• Hold left-click without moving your mouse.
• Check the bullet holes — that’s the built-in AK pattern.

Repeat at different distances so you see how wide it becomes over range.

Step 2 – Learn the Counter-Movement

To control the AK, your mouse should move opposite the recoil:

• Bullets 1–10: Pull straight down.
• Bullets 11–20: Pull down and left.
• Bullets 21–30: Pull down and right.

Master each section individually before trying to spray all 30 rounds perfectly.

Step 3 – Wall Spray Training

Here’s a dummy-proof routine that builds real muscle memory:

• Aim at a dot on the wall.
• Spray your full magazine while pulling your mouse smoothly.
• Look at the bullet impact pattern — aim for a tighter vertical line each time.
• Repeat 5–10 times per session.

Your sprays WILL get tighter every day with this drill.

Step 4 – Add Movement (Real PvP Practice)

Rust gunfights involve moving targets and strafing, so once you’re comfortable on a wall, add movement:

• Strafe left/right using A and D while spraying.
• Use 10–15 bullet bursts (most fights end fast).
• Practice at different distances — the AK behaves differently at range.

Step 5 – Use Training Servers

Training servers make recoil practice 10× faster:

• “Aim Train” servers
• “Recoil” servers
• “Arena / PvP Practice” servers

You can practice hundreds of sprays per hour without losing gear.

Using the Rust Recoil Script for Consistency

If you struggle with the AK pattern or want assistance, the Rust Recoil Script helps maintain consistent anti-recoil control.

• Helps stabilise the entire AK spray pattern.
• Useful for mid-range and long-range fights.
• Ideal for players who want reliable sprays without grinding 100+ hours of practice.

You can use manual practice or script-assisted recoil depending on your goals — both methods will noticeably improve your PvP performance.

Common AK Spray Mistakes

If your AK feels uncontrollable, it’s usually because of one of these:

• Pulling too hard downward and missing low.
• Snapping the mouse instead of smooth movements.
• Changing sensitivity constantly — kills muscle memory.
• Not training consistently — AK control only comes with repetition.

Why AK Recoil Mastery Matters

The AK decides most mid-range PvP fights in Rust. Whether you prefer pure mechanical skill or assistance from the recoil script, improving your AK spray will drastically increase your win rate in gunfights and raids.
