MP5 spray pattern

In Rainbow Six Siege, the MP5 climbs about 6.0° while its sideways kick changes from spray to spray inside roughly 3.0° — learn the climb and react to the side kick. Here's the shape, the numbers, and how to control it — then drill it into muscle memory on SprayTrace.

One possible mouse path. The downward pull is the same on every spray; the sideways movement is different each time.

Rainbow Six Siege adds a random sideways kick on top of its climb, so there is no fixed spray to plot. Fire rate and magazine are the game's own figures; the climb and width are estimates for training.

How to control it

Controlling the MP5 spray

  1. Pull down to cancel the climb. The MP5 rises about 6.0° over its first burst — drag straight down to keep the crosshair on target as it climbs.
  2. React to the side kick, don't lead it. The sideways kick changes from spray to spray, inside about 3.0°. Keep the downward pull steady and correct each kick as it arrives.
  3. Reset between bursts. Recoil fully resets after about 0.30s off the trigger — tap-fire or burst at range, spray up close.
  4. Drill the climb, not a shape. At 800 RPM a full 20-round spray plays out in ~1.5s. SprayTrace's Wander drill keeps the climb fixed and re-rolls the sideways kick every run, so you train the reaction instead of a path that will not repeat.
