RecoilOn the Zen's screen: ANTI RECOIL

Anti-Recoil

Pulls the right stick down, and sideways if you want, while you aim and fire.

What it does

When you hold L2 and R2 together, Anti-Recoil adds a steady pull to your right stick: VERTICAL pulls down and HORIZONTAL pulls left or right. It's added to your own stick, so you can still aim while it pulls.

The pull is the same from the first shot to the last. If your gun kicks harder at the start of a spray, look at Progressive Anti-Recoil.

If you push the right stick 45% or more in any direction yourself, it stops pulling until you ease off, so it never gets in the way of a big aim movement.

When it runs

Only while you hold both L2 (aim) and R2 (fire), and only while your right stick is less than 45% off centre. Firing from the hip gets no pull.

The Zen's screen with VERTICAL selected, at its default. With weapon profiles on, the bottom right shows the active profile's name instead.

Settings

In the order the Zen shows them. Each label is exactly what you'll see on its screen.

  1. 1.

    ENABLED

    Values
    OFF or ON
    Default
    OFF, unless you turned on “Default ON” for this mod in the generator.

    Switches the mod on or off. The screen shows ON or OFF; press D-pad left or right to flip it.

  2. 2.

    VERTICAL

    Per profile
    Range
    0 to 100
    Default
    25
    Unit
    % of stick
    Each press
    ±1

    How hard it pulls down, in percent of the stick's full tilt.

    • Raise it: A stronger pull down. Raise it if your aim still climbs above the target while you spray.
    • Lower it: A lighter pull. Lower it if your aim drops below the target.
  3. 3.

    HORIZONTAL

    Per profile
    Range
    -50 to 50
    Default
    0
    Unit
    % of stick
    Each press
    ±1

    Sideways pull, in percent of the stick. Below 0 pulls left, above 0 pulls right, 0 is none.

    • Raise it: More pull to the right. Use it if your gun drifts left.
    • Lower it: More pull to the left (negative numbers). Use it if your gun drifts right.

Tune it in-game

Mods pause while the menu is open, so close it each time you want to test a change, then open it again to adjust.

  1. Hold L2 and press OPTIONS to open the menu.

  2. Press D-pad up or down until the screen shows ANTI RECOIL, then press Cross.

  3. On ENABLED, press D-pad right so it shows ON.

  4. Press D-pad down to VERTICAL. Leave it at 25 for your first test.

  5. Close the menu. Aim at a wall or a fixed point and hold fire for a whole spray without touching the right stick.

  6. If the shots climb, raise VERTICAL by 2 or 3. If they drop, lower it. Repeat until the spray stays level.

  7. If the spray drifts sideways, set HORIZONTAL: negative if it drifts right, positive if it drifts left. Start with 2 or -2.

  8. When you're happy, hold L2 and press OPTIONS to close the menu. Your settings save to the Zen.

Weapon profiles

With weapon profiles on, hold L2 and press D-pad left or right to switch profile. On Anti-Recoil, these settings have their own value in each profile:

  • VERTICAL
  • HORIZONTAL
  • In the generator, turn on Weapon profiles and name 2 or 3 profiles, for example one per gun. The settings marked “Per profile” then get their own value in each profile.
  • In-game, with the menu closed, hold L2 and press D-pad right for the next profile or D-pad left for the one before. The Zen shows PROFILE and the profile's name for a moment and gives a short rumble.
  • The menu always edits the active profile. On these mods the bottom right of the Zen's screen shows the active profile's name, so you know which one you're changing.
  • To tune a gun: switch to its profile, open the menu, change the values, then close the menu. Repeat for the next gun.
  • The Zen remembers which profile you were on, even after a restart. While you hold L2, D-pad left and right switch profiles and don't reach the game.
  • Each per-profile setting uses one save slot per profile. The Zen has 20, and the generator shows how many your build uses. Past 20, settings still work but go back to their built-in values when the Zen restarts.

Tips and conflicts

  • Different guns need different values. Turn on weapon profiles in the generator to keep one set per gun and switch in-game.
  • Because it stops when you push the stick 45% or more, you can always take over and move your aim yourself.
  • Polar Aim Assist works with it: the circle is added on top of the recoil pull.

Conflicts

  • Progressive Anti-Recoil: use only one. Both set the right stick from your own stick position, and Progressive Anti-Recoil runs second, so with both ON only its pull reaches the game and VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL here do nothing. Turn one OFF.

Build it in the generator

Switch on Anti-Recoil under Mods, set your starting values (and Default ON if you want it on from the start), then download your script. You can still change every value on the Zen afterwards.
