MP5A4 recoil pattern
The MP5A4 is the strongest SMG for close fights: a fast fire rate and a tight, mostly vertical pattern. It's easier than rifles to control, but its speed means small mistakes add up quickly.
How to control the MP5A4
- 1Pull down smoothly and fairly fast to match its high fire rate.
- 2Keep fights close. Damage drops off at range.
- 3Strafe between bursts in close fights, but stop moving when you need accuracy.
- 4A Holosight is ideal; it keeps the fast spray readable.
Using a Rust script with the MP5A4
A Rust script (also called a recoil script or no-recoil macro) moves your mouse against the MP5A4's spray for you, so your shots stay where you aim. The WipeReady Rust script has a profile tuned to the MP5A4's exact spray pattern for every attachment, matched to your sensitivity and FOV.
You decide how much it does: at 100% horizontal and vertical control it holds the MP5A4 steady, and lower settings hand more of the work back to you. Not sure yet? Feel it first in the free Recoil Range.
