Spray Control: a Valorant spray control drill
Spray Control is a Valorant spray control drill of eight reps. You empty a full magazine at a static bot 10 m away and see your bullet pattern after every rep. Head bullets count three times as much as body bullets, so it trains the pull-down that keeps a whole magazine on target.

What does a good Valorant spray look like?
The climb comes early, then it stops being a climb. In AimKata’s Vandal model recoil builds for the first ten bullets, reaching about 4.5° of climb, then sits on a plateau while the gun sways to the side, starting after six bullets. The Phantom’s pattern is smaller and smoother. Those figures are approximate.
How do you pull down correctly?
Start slightly ahead of the climb and hold the first bullets on the head, since that is where kills happen. Then follow the side-to-side sway. The usual mistake is pulling for the whole magazine: once the gun reaches its plateau, continuing to pull drags you below the target.
Use the pattern shown after each rep to see which part went wrong, then change one thing on the next rep.
What score should you aim for?
A perfect 1,000 means every bullet of every magazine in the head, and nobody does that. Radiant starts at 505 on Standard, so being around half of the maximum is already excellent. Harder training levels move the bot back to 15 m and then 20 m.
When should you spray instead of tap?
Up close, where a full spray is the fastest kill. Beyond that, use short bursts or Burst & Tap. Run this drill mid-session, and before ranked if your sprays have felt wild.
