PUBG Mobile guide for controlling AKM recoil

The AKM is among the Assault Rifles (ARs) that have the highest recoil rate in PUBG Mobile. Every firearm moves to a certain degree in battle royale titles when being fired, and this phenomenon is called recoil rate. It makes landing precise shots difficult, which is essential to eliminate foes at the earliest. Developers of battle royale titles often incorporate this mechanic to produce a realistic gaming experience and make it challenging to aim precisely.

Numerous tips and tricks are available to control a weapon better. However, all of them go in vain without proper practice. Since the AKM has a high recoil rate, a beginner is advised to use it to learn the weapon recoil rate.

This article discusses a few tips and tricks to control the AKM in PUBG Mobile.

Disclaimer: PUBG Mobile is banned in India. Readers in the region are advised against playing the game. Instead, they can play BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), an India-exclusive and legal variant.

Tips to master AKM recoil in PUBG Mobile

1) Understanding the AKM recoil pattern

Before fighting in PUBG Mobile, familiarise yourself with the AKM's recoil pattern. The weapon tends to kick up and to the right. Knowing this pattern will allow you to forecast and counteract the recoil adequately. Spend some time in training mode observing the pattern and getting a feel for how the weapon reacts to sustained fire.

2) Proper sensitivity settings

Accurate recoil control begins with the proper sensitivity settings. Adjust your camera and ADS sensitivity in the settings menu to find a balance. Lower sensitivity can improve control during intensive firefights but may impair your ability to react swiftly to opponents. Experiment with different parameters to see what works best for your playstyle.

3) Mastering the burst technique

Rather than indiscriminately spraying rounds, use regulated bursts to manage recoil. To preserve accuracy, fire in short bursts of 3-4 bullets, allowing the recoil to reset between shots. This strategy is beneficial for medium-range engagements when precision is essential. Burst firing is good for developing muscle memory, and you can gradually increase the length of your bursts as you get more comfortable.

4) Choose the appropriate attachments

For those who love using the AKM, it is advised they equip the compensator with the firearm. The attachment can be easily found on the battleground and greatly helps with controlling the weapon when being fired.

Meanwhile, unless you have mastered the weapon recoil control skill, never use a suppressor with the AKM. This is because although the attachment hides the firearm's flash when being fired, it makes controlling the weapon all the more difficult.

You can use the suppressor on the M416 or SCARL for stealthy gameplay. These guns are easy to control, and using the said attachment on them doesn't significantly affect their recoil rate.

5) Recoil control drills

Recoil control in PUBG Mobile requires a lot of practice. Create a continuous training regimen that primarily focuses on controlling the AKM's recoil. Begin with brief bursts and eventually increase to longer ones as your control improves. Experiment with various attachments to see how they impact the weapon's performance.

Shooting while strafing and moving is also an excellent way to imitate real-life in-game events. Consistent training will result in improved performance during games.
