Zero recoil guns? Spectate mode broken? console cheaters?

Hello all, I started back up in Season 3, I play on XBOX and have been using the spectate mode quite a bit on squads/players that just rip through my armor/health and I drop like a sack of potatoes. ...

@DankToliet Absolutely my man! I understand people have very good recoil control but I am skeptic when it is to the point that the gun never moves because that would require exact pinpoint timing every single trigger pull, but reading through the responses I was unaware that spectate mode is not a true representation of what is happening in-game, which to me makes way more sense to me.

@ringin10 kill cams are just in bad in other games. I never buy into the m&k PoV because they obviously can't be that good if still winning games every time I log in.

@DankToliet I am historically bad at shooters and even worse when it’s PvP. I used to play Warcraft and for some reason the game play in Apex I really enjoy, it sucks when you just get mowed down and then in spectate it appears the player has no gun recoil, so I thought I’d ask the question and it appears I do still just suck hahaha

  @ringin10 Certain guns the recoil can be a benefit.. hemlock is a good one. I try to aim so I get 1 body shot 2 head shots with each burst. Most of the time I only land one head shot.. but I’ve learned to let that guns recoil do the work for me.

@DankToliet M&K on console does give a better advantage over aiming at someone given you're decent at the game.

It's easily proven in shooters, where aim counts for everything. An easy game to look at would be R6S, the precision a mouse gives over a thumb-stick is clearly greater and allows for more precise and constant shots to be landed as you use your whole hand to aim rather than a thumb. Another game you could look at is Fortnite and it's reason behind why it had to put console players who use M&K into the same lobbies as PC players.

    @DankToliet How are you sure they are using M&K and not just a normal controller?
    
    Again, they have to be decent at using a M&K because if you jump on very competitive games where others are using M&K and you stick with a remote, you'll most likely lose a majority of your battles with them, that being said, you could also win over them if you are well enough skilled in using your controller.
