Despite Being Shooters, Mastering Spray and Pray in Valorant Is Extremely Difficult Compared to ****** Ops 6

When talking about competitive games, two of the most popular games that come to mind are Valorant and Call of Duty, for completely different reasons. While both games share the genre of tactical shooters, they differ heavily in one department: shooting mechanics.

In Valorant, where precision and controlled bursts are the name of the game, attempting a spray is not only ineffective but also often leads to frustration. On the other hand, in ****** Ops 6 players can embrace the spray-and-pray mentality, giving players more freedom and predictability with their weapons.

The core difference in shooting mechanics between Valorant and ****** Ops 6

To understand why spray and pray don’t work in Valorant, players need to know that the game is all about precision aiming and tactical planning. Whether players are using a vandal or phantom, they need to typically focus on bursts sprays of 2-3 bullets at a time and strafe.

The idea behind this is to not rely on recoil at all, it is all about firing in small, controlled bursts. While players often spray, it’s not effective because weapons in the game have inherent random RNG, which kicks in after the first few shots.

So while your first few shots might hit the target, the rest are up to the RNG gods to decide if they connect. This often leads to frustration from players who are switching from other games like Counter-Strike, CoD, Fortnite, etc.

On the flip side, ****** Ops 6 presents a completely different scenario. Spray control is much more forgiving and is not complete RNG. This is primarily due to two reasons: customization of guns and a predictable recoil pattern.

Both of these factors make spraying much more predictable and manageable in the game. Attachments make the most difference, as most weapons can be tuned to keep their recoil in check.

In Valorant, spray and pray is a common tactic players find themselves in, not because it’s a reliable way to win, but because the situation can get so chaotic. Every agent has unique abilities and matches often become intense, even pushing most seasoned players into spraying, hoping to land a lucky shot.

The real problem occurs when players from other games, especially those used to spray and pray mechanics in titles like Call of Duty, try their hand here. They often find that the moment they start spraying and getting frustrated after their bullets go haywire after just a few shots.

While some players, particularly those with good timing or a bit of RNG on their side, spraying through smokes or blindly into a crowd of enemies might occasionally result in a multi-kill. Even that requires a keen sense of timing, map knowledge, and the ability to predict enemy movement.

For newcomers, this inconsistency of bullets (after the first few) often leads to frustration and confusion, as they struggle to adapt to the game’s more deliberate and calculated shooting style.

If players want to succeed, it is recommended to slowly get rid of old habits of spraying as the game has a learning curve. Otherwise, the matches will feel long and the game might not feel worth playing.

In the end, unlike the predictable nature of Vandal after a few bullets, one thing is certain: Valorant is an entirely different kind of tactical shooter compared to the latest installment in Call of Duty.
