Mastering recoil in CS:GO is all about pattern recognition and muscle memory. Each gun has a unique recoil pattern. Start by spraying a wall in a private match to see the pattern. Then, practice moving your mouse in the opposite direction to counteract that pattern. Remember, it's not just side to side, but up and down too. Spraying isn't always the answer, so learn to burst fire or tap shoot for long distances. Basically, it's practice, practice, practice!

Just pull down lol. Seriously, for guns like the AK-47, start by pulling down your mouse as you spray. The first 10 bullets are the most predictable and easiest to control. After that, it's a wild ride.

From my experience, the single best way to get better at controlling recoil is to hop into deathmatch servers. Real game scenarios help a lot more than shooting at walls. Plus, you get a feel for moving targets and adjusting your spray on the fly.
