Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 introduces numerous firefights, movement mechanics and more, over the 2019 prequel. While the majority of players were happy with the updates in the most recent title, some gamers objected to the increased backlash on all. the weapons of the game.
Weapons in earlier installments of the series had very little recoil, and some even functioned as lasers. That is not the case in Modern Warfare 2. There’s more recoil now that the weapons feel more realistic. Guns in the title have had an increase in recoil intensity, but most of it is still purely visual.
This guide is intended to help players in Modern Warfare 2 reduce weapon recoil, or at least its visible aspect.
Five Methods to Reduce Kickback in Modern Warfare 2
The backward thrust produced when a gun being fired is known as recoil. In first-person shooter games, recoil is an important weapon mechanism and Modern Warfare 2 is no exception. Players’ accuracy decreases as they fire their guns, which is caused by the weapon’s recoil.
Here are some tips for minimizing recoil in Modern Warfare 2:
1) Using the right attachments
Players can completely change the performance of their weapons using the new Gunsmith 2.0 system. There are numerous attachments in the game that can successfully reduce the recoil. The most important tools for minimizing overall recoil are grips.
However, there are different types of grips, each with their unique stats and features. Vertical recoil is reduced by some grips, while horizontal recoil is reduced by others. Therefore, users have to customize it according to their preference.
2) Adjust field of view
If your system can handle it, it is recommended that you continue with a higher FOV. This allows you to see more around you and get the visual effects of reduced recoil. Increasing the field of view does not reduce recoil unlike in the case of grips, but this adds more information on the screen and the weapon appears zoomed out, producing the effect of reduced recoil.
It is recommended to set the FOV to 120, but if it is too much, players are advised to continue with at least 90 on the slider.
3) Change ADS and weapon FOV
ADS and Weapon FOV are two different settings within the same tab. These two institutions behave differently and have their own implications. ADS FOV takes the zoom factor into account when aiming with a rifle. Meanwhile, Weapon FOV dictates the zoom factor on the gun when it’s just held, regardless of whether it’s pointing down.
It is recommended to select ‘Influenced’ for ADS FOV which sets the targeting FOV to your overall FOV and to change the weapon’s FOV to ‘Broad’. This will also change how the recoil is visually displayed to the user, creating the effect of a reduced recoil.
4) Reduce Excess Movement
Another setting to adjust is the first person camera shake. Set to ‘Least’ [50%]’ relieves you of some unnecessary moves from the game. This reduces the overall visible recoil. It’s extremely essential to set it to ‘least’ when players engage in fast-paced playstyles and get aggressive.
5) Matching attachments
Another advantage of the newest Gunsmith 2.0 system is that it allows users to tune attachments from their default values. Once you get a weapon to level 20, you can access the option to tune that weapon however you want. This allows for high customizability and setting one’s weapons to their preference.
You can choose to lower one metric over another. For example, you can choose lower recoil on certain Barrells for reduced weapon stability. Likewise, you can opt for lower kickback on a grip at the cost of a lower target speed.
Here’s everything you need to know about reducing recoil in Modern Warfare 2. This time, recoil definitely feels higher in the game due to its focus on realism.
