This command sets the scale factor for recoil - i.e. the higher this number is, the bigger recoil will be.

weapon_recoil_scale [Scale]

Description

This command sets the scale factor for recoil - i.e. the higher this number is, the bigger recoil will be.

How To Use weapon_recoil_scale

  1. Enable the developer console in Counter-Strike settings.
  2. Open the console with the tilde key (~).
  3. Enter weapon_recoil_scale [Scale], replacing bracketed arguments with the value you want, then press Enter.

This legacy command is not currently listed as compatible with Counter-Strike 2.

Syntax And Arguments

weapon_recoil_scale [Scale]
Scale The number to multiply weapon recoil by. Default is 2. 0 would make there be no recoil. 4 would make their be 2x as much recoil.

Related Commands

weapon_recoil_cooldown

This command sets the amount of time, in seconds, that it takes for recoil to recover in between shots. After this amount of time, recoil will be reset to the same as it is when you shoot your first bullet. If set to 0, you can continuously tap without having any recoil.

weapon_recoil_decay1_exp

This command sets the decay factor exponent for weapon recoil. Default is 3.5.

weapon_recoil_decay2_exp

This command sets the decay factor exponent for weapon recoil. Default is 8.

weapon_recoil_decay2_lin

This command sets the linear term decay factor exponent for weapon recoil. Default is 18.

weapon_recoil_suppression_factor

We tested this command and found that it may not work at all or as intended. This command sets the "initial recoil suppression factor". This factor sets how much the first shot (or the amount of shots set by weapon_recoil_suppression_factor) of a gun has its recoil supressed for. If you set this to 0, there would be no recoil after the first shot of guns (but shots after that would be normal recoil). With this at 0.5, the first shot of a gun would have 50% of its normal recoil.

weapon_recoil_suppression_shots

We tested this command and found that it may not work at all or as intended. This command sets the number of shots that are fired before a weapon uses normal (unsuppressed) recoil. Suppression is set by weapon_recoil_suppression_factor cvar.

weapon_recoil_variance

We tested this command and found that it may not work at all or as intended. This command sets the amount of variance between each recoil impulse. In other words, this command can be used to change how random recoil is (with this set to 0 it would be the same pattern every time).

weapon_recoil_vel_decay

This command sets the decay factor for weapon recoil velocity.
