I’m a long time Phantom user, and when spraying 5-10 bullets, the recoil will reset faster than the Vandal’s.

However I just started using the Vandal, and I noticed that when tapping or taking two shot bursts, the recoil reset is faster than the Phantom’s.

This is very unintuitive for a long time Phantom user like myself, because you would think the Phantom should always have better recoil reset no matter how many bullets you shoot. It’s almost as if shooting less than 3 bullets will favor the Vandal, and shooting greater than 3 bullets favors the Phantom.

Edit: I just realized there is something called “Tap efficiency” in this game, which has nothing to do with recoil reset.

The tap efficiency for the Vandal is 6 while the Phantom is 4, meaning 6 bullet one taps will be more accurate with the Vandal.

However, the Phantom has the lower recoil reset time, which only occurs when spraying. Confusing AF because I don’t think CSGO had a tap efficiency variable.
